DEAR Sup -a -The Bethesda corms
-
pendent, while very good at pieicieg
up news three or fonr weeks old, is also
yery good at tuatiing 'upfalse stories
which are very eleverly contrived, arid
shos% ing. an intellectual genius siu
passed by fes ana containing eoine
-very bitter sarcasm. One of these ap
peered in last week's ADVOCATE, and
;le some emsuspecting people may be
led astray, I take this opportunity of
torrecting his mistake. The item
about a house and is tenant was 1.
gross lie, manafactured by the corres-
pondent while the letter part of the
itetn has been ,seaffed into hie other-
wiee silence's- head, and. thinkiog it
trutp was sorely grieved at not being
- invited as he was on another oveasion
' of the Saint kind which occurred in.
the neighborhood. Never mind thia
time, your time wid come when they
eall in the poor; the weak, the maimed,
and the blind, In the Meitatime keep
on withyour soap making' business,
for a few Weeks at least, until you
have a sufficient vanity, then call in
a few of your friends who will be only
tab glad to help rub off a few of those
Targe spots which adorn your charact
er. I remain your
Sexcwitp FRIEND.

The SprinF Assizes;
This court was opened on Monday
last week at Goderiela beforeHis Lord-
ahip Mr. Justice Falcenbridge, Mr. W.
Lount, Q. 0, appearing to eonduct the
Crown business.
In addressing the Grand Jury His
Lordship expressed regret that the crim
ealender, while not large contain-
ed several w.tses of the highest ma„,eni-
tude, inc'udieg a charge of murder,
one of rape, forgeryslareeny, nd fsIse
pretences, These mimes 'he defined
very clearly, and the du ties of the
GaanclJttry in eonsidering the chareps
which wonld be submitted to them,
Their duties would also include an he
speetion of any buildings sustaioed ni
whole or in part by the public funds
THE. CIVIL CALENDAR.
consisted 15 cases, five of which were
non -jury cases.
Hanna vs Atteheson, an action to
determine the boundaries of land in
MeKillop. Mr. Cameron fur the pllt,
asked to postpone the trial on the
ground of the absence of a witness in
Nebraska, but upon the objection of
Mr, Garrow for the defence His Lord-
ship decided to disponee with the ,jury
and hear the ease himself as far as he
could.
Bryce vs. Loutit el al. was an action
for damage to lands,defts being Tps. of
Turnberry aud Culross. By consent of
the parties His Lordship referred the
questioes herein for enquiry and re-
port to Judge Toms, as special referee,
Ce'arrow & Proudfoot fur Off, Cameron
& Holt and IL P. O'Connor for clefts.
Audrews vs. Pugsley, was two act-
ions on Promissory notes, and by con
sent judgpment was given for plif. for
$765 and 8735 respectively, Air. Holt
for piff, 11„ C. Hayes for deft.
MeKenzie vs, Quitmewas an action to
determine the boundaries of land in the
Tp. of Ashfield. This ease, which arose
out of a dispute as to a line fence last-
ed all Tuesday, although the value of
the land in dispute was something less
than $50. His Lordship reserved judg.
ment.
Beatty vs. Holmes. An action for li-
bel brought against the publisher of
the Clinton New Elea for the publicat-
ion of a letter purporting to give an
account of a trial before Josiah B. Se
cord, J. P., at Varna, in October last, in
which plff. Beatty was charged with
indecent exposure, abuseive language
and assult on one Mrs. Lewis Wiegand
The evidence "showed that the maebas-
trate tried the whole of the charges on
one information, and fined Beatty .95
and costs, but the chief question at is-
sue now was whether he announced
that he imposed the fine for one or all
of the alleged offences. His own evi-
dence, while not very positive,was that
he publicly announced the Bile to be
for the charge of assult only, and that
he dismissed the other charges,and this
was in some measure supported by plff's
witnesses; but deft's witnesses agreed
throughout that the magistrate said
nothing about the charges separately,
but OA he "fined Beatty $5 and costs,
and that he thought that this would be
satisfactory to all parties." Judged by
the evidence here the J. P.'s court was
a sort of a freeatnebeasy affair, Beatty
calling one of the leavers a sap -head
without any objection by the couraand
the general order of the court being
anything but dignified. The letter in
the New Era Said Beatty was fined for
indecent exposure, and hence the suit
for libel. Editor Homes refused to give
the name of the correspondent, but al-
lowed Beatty, or some one for him, to
publish a denial of the report given,
but this did not satifsy Beatty, who
finally brought this action. The case
here lasted all of Wednesday, and the
first hour of Thursday ome 20 wit
s
nesses being examined altogether. The
venerable J. P. in his evideuce testified
that for a counter charge brought
against Wiegand and his wife for
abusive language he had decided in
his -mini to impose a fine of $10, And
was going to commit Wiegand to the
county jail for defaulawhen some days
after he was told by lawyer Manning
of Clinton, that he might get into trou-
ble, as the Whole of the in
were irregular and in bad form as to
the requirements of the law. There-
upon he ordered tha release of Wiegand,
and paid pack the $5 fine to Beatty, so
as to even up all around. Manning,
he said, "told me I had better squash
it, and I squashed the whole business.'
This remark caused general laughter,
in which His Lordship and the legal
gentlemen all joined most heartily.
After en hour's deliberation the jury
returned a verdict for $1 damages, and
His Lordship directed that judgement
be entered for plff. for that sum andfull
costs of suit. Lount, Q. 0, and A. H.
Ball for pa; Cameron Q. C., and Scott
for deft.
Jackson vs. Huron and Middlesex
Fire Ins. Co. An action On all insur-
ance policy. Judgement was entered
in terms of consent. Garrow Q. 0, fur
plff.; Holt for deft.
McLean vs. Vidal ez, al. An action
on an agreement and for an account.
Referred by consent to the Master in
Chancery to report. Holt for plff.
On Wednesday all tne prisoners were
brought into court. By advice of his
councel, Mr. Garrow, the prisoner Rob-
inson pleaded. guilt3r, but all the others
pleaded not guilty.
The trial of Donald AjeKinnon for
murder began on Thurday morning
and lasted all day. Public interest in
this case, was increased by the fact that
the prisoner, after hearing that the
grand jury had returned a true bill,
again attempted suicide by stabince
himself with a piece of wire, which he
had picked up around the jail, When
Jailor Dickson's attention was drawn
to him he found that AleKinnon had
made three attempts to pierce himself
ia the neighborhood of the heart, and
the wire was imbedded quite a piece
in the third wound, '
Whee the witness for the prosee,ution
had been examined. Mr, Garrow, for
the defence, object t\ the admission of
the anteenortem statement of Airs. Mc-
Kinnon and after hearing the argu-
ments of conned. His Lordship took the
question into consideration and ad-
journed the court, nntil 7.80
When the court reassembled His
Lordship, addresseng the jury, said the
obly evidence on which they could be
asked to Convict the prisoner was the
dying' declaration of Mrs. McKinnon,
Thi8 he had admitted with some doubt,
but he now felt that he would not be
justified fe asking them to lind a yet-
diet of guilty, Even if he allowed the
jury to consider this statement it would
haye bee» so guarded with reservat-
ion as to leaye no room but to find, a
verdict of not guilty. He doubted if
the deceased. realized her situatioa and
what she was saying at the time, and
he felt it to be his duty to withdraw
the case from the jury,and direct them
to return a virdict of not guilty. This
was accordingly done.
On the charge of attempt at suicide
the prisoner pleaded guilty, and His
Lordship sentenced him to 4 mos in the
common jf.til.
In the Queen ve..Hefferman,for escap
ing from the custody of a constable the
prisoner pleaded guilty. When the
charge of. cattle Stealin,g was ca.11ed, Mr.
Lount, for the crown, stated that as the
chief witness, Jas Reith, who owned
the cattle in question,had left the coun-
try, he would offer no evidence in the
case, and His Lordship directed the
jury to return a vervict of not guilty.
Heileman was then sentenced, to two
weeks in jail for escaping' from the
consetble, and the court adjourned ma
111 Friday morning'.
