She was Mary Goeffrey at the time when Joseph Ducharme used to walk a mile down the road of an evening to court her.

The counties’ council proceeded with the erection of the courthouse shortly after the resolution in ques­ tion had “been adopted. The build­ ing was commenced in May, 1854, and according to the terms of the contract was -to have been finish­ ed in that year. In February, 1855, it was in the course of being roofed, the roofing having been commenced in the fall of 1854. On February 20, 1855, just as the building was completed, an ac­ tion was started, in the Court of Chancery for Upper Canada against the Town Council of Goderich and the Municipal council of the united counties of Huron and Bruce. The plaintiffs in this action were four Goderich ratepayers, JL.—• n ,, , , n.Galt, Daniel Lizars, Christopher ,Cat?ol?5s- There are about 90 Crabb and William G. Smith.

They therefore asked the court to issue an injunction restraining erection of the building and other relief. The ease "was heard on May 1856, by the Court of Chancery Upper Canada, consisting of Wil­ liam Hum Blake, Chancellor; Chris­ tie Palmer Esten, vice-chancellor, and J. Godfrey Spragge, vice-chan­ cellor. Mr. Brough was counsel for the plaintiffs while the town couH“ cil was represented by Mr, Crick- more, and the counties’ council by Mr. Mowat. After lengthy arguments the court unanimously came to the con­ clusion that the erection of a court­ house on the market place in the Town of Goderich was a breach of trust and held that the newly- Completed courthouse become the property of Goderich in of Goderich and that they could exclude th© ana remove pleased.
