Saturday morning in the A,esize Court, when Justice Street took his position on the bench, thh'two prisoners, Wilson and Burke, appeared in the dock to receive eentenoo on conviction of nanslaugh- ter iitoonnectLoit` with the death of the late Detective Pharr. They were nattily dressed in. suite of blaek,sitnilar to those worn at the trial, and were seemingly not impressed with the ' position:in which they were plead. • When the Judge commenced to de- liver his •renrarks the prisoner Wilson steed up. He (Wilson) interjected a remark that his counsel had intend- ed to make an appeal for mercy, and that in the absense of that, gentleruan he would ask his Lordship to be as lenient.as possible. Those in the court room listened with breathless attention to Justice Street's remarks which were addressed to Wilson in a clear, distinct voice as follows.: '"The fate that has overtaken you is another example of the terrible danger of icarrying loaded weapons. The carrying of weapons is entirely un- necessary in this country. .Diad you not been doing this you would not likely find yourself in the position you are in to day, The sentence that might bo inipriscnment for lice, and you have narrowly escaped the ex- treme penalty of the law. It is merely an accident that you are not now lathing sentenced to he hanged instead of im- prisoned."

"If the constable whose life void took," continued his honor, "had hap-: retied to see the act which your conerade did, you would have ineoni undoubtedly convicted of murder "' r This remark was uttered with (mi- phatic emphasis, and Wilson looked solemn. "As it is," said the Judge, 44owing to a technicality, you have not been convicted of that crime. As the oonstahle was not ".strictly authorised in elle course he took, and as there were some circumstances of perhaps ainneoessaty aggravation in the case, I do not inflict the highest penalty which 1. might under the law. The sentence of the court is that you be imprisoned in the penitentiary for twelve years." Burke thea stood and reeeived a like sentence. The prisoners both smiled in a self- satisfied manner. Evidently they thought :the sentence might have been THE WINGCIAM TIMES, NAY 12, 1893, T4orrl,a.
