plaintiff told her that she had no
pure love for O'Callaghan, and if
\Vood could supply a home for her
O'Callaghan, would have no chance.
The witness had a quarrel with

She complained to her father on

SLIGHTED AFFECTION.
Q. -The dog and you were great
friends, ware you not? A. -Yes.
Q. -Do you remember saying, in
the presence of Mrs. Lutz, that you
loved this dog better than Tont O'•
Callaghau 1 A. -No. Mts. Lutz
is an enemy of mine, and that is the
reason she told all those things. It
would be a very foolish rotnark to
make;
Q. --That All depended on how
much you liked Toru, and how
much you liked the dog.
Continuiug, Miss Ilurrel said
that she was engaged to the dofedd-
ant two months after meeting him
the second time. During that
period he was evidently making
good use of his time, for ho was at
her house "morning, wort and
night." He made an indecent pro-
posal to her on the evening 'of
March 7, but she subsequently tried
to borrow money off hits. She for-
gave hint ou that occasion, because
she thought he was iutoxicated. A
day or.two afterwardea she,evrote him
asking for the balance of $30 she
wanted to borrow.
Q. -Yue must have been very
augeyat hint? A.-1 excused hint
beeause he was intoxicated. I
would have iurgiven him 'if he cane
back .and apologized: Ile came
again ui Karats 14 arid' mase the
sante pt•uposals, but I said I was a
pour girl, but nut for him nor all
England would I do what he want.
ed.
A photograph of the defendant
was produced, showing his graceful
from reclining against a rustic
fence, and Mr. Osler handed it over
to the jury with a dry smile.
These were the only exhibits in the
Case. •
Mr. Osler then proceeded :-
Would you give us a'few of the
most decisive passages that occurred
between you during the courtship,
relating to his promise of marriage?
A._ -Wall, he said I would never he
sorry if I was true to- him.
•INTERESTING READING.
A breach of promise ease for $50,-
000 engaged the attention of Chief
Justice Armour and a jury -at the
Hamilton Assizes last week. The
Plaintiff' wee Jliss Myra Hurrell, au
attractive young lady who earns her
living by working a.tJpewriter in'
Hami:ton 'and the defendant was

balm to her slighted affestiou.s.
erre PL.%INTIFF'S CASE.
Q. -Diff you ever talk over any
arrangements about the marriage1
A. -Wel', he said ho hoped that
Ray. Father Heenan would marry
us. He also said we were already
married in heaven. (Laughter.)
Ofteu he said he could hardly keep
away from me.
Cil, -And appearontly he couldn't ?
A. -No.
The cross-examinatiol, by Mr.
Nesbitt then cornrnenced, and was
li'ngt.hy and rather interesting. Mr.
Love, a Bill Nvelooking barrister
from London, stood at his elbow to
supply the ammunition which the
senior counsel fired.
The learned counsel proceeded to
pry into the plaintiff's love affairs,
and conn•enced by asking abotit a
young man named Wood.
Q. -He used to see a good deal
of you in the evenings? A. -Yes.
Q. --Did he over caress you ? A.
--Well, he tnight have done so a
little, •
Q. -Ever sit close together? A
-Yes.
Q. -Both on the Ramo chair? A.-.
I don't remember that.
Q. -Did you sit up until 2:30
with him that night? A. -I think
I went to bed at twelve o'clock.
Q. -You ';ere fond of Mr.
Wooditt that time 1 A. -I just re-
ceived a little attention front him
occasionally.
On the cage beiug taken up agaiu,
Miss Hurrell took the stand. She
said she was first introduced to the
defendant at his brother's wedding,
in 1831 ; she was then teaching
school at Guelph, and was au iu•
timate friend of his sister -in law.
She did not meet him again until
1886, wheu she met him while on a
visit to Mrs. O'Callaghan, at the
same time he was visiting there.
after that he was very attentive, and
and about the eud of September,
1836 they became engaged, with the
understanding that as seem as cer-
tain legal business he was •Mixed
in was settled they would b.. •11
After that she came to Hamilton,
and he carate down to see her at
New Year, in :larch, in the sum-
mer, and again in October, 1887.
During each visit ho stayed iu
Hamilton several (lays, and visited
her every day. He was afraid at
the time he would loan his lawsuits,
but she promised to wed him
whether be was poor or rich.
Subsequently he got very much iu
love with her, and on rine occasion
said tearfully he would be a traitor
if ever he proved false to her. Ile
claimed at that time he had $80,000
wor'h of property here and iu Lon-
don. IIe won the law suit iu May,
1888, and when ho calve down here
in June he said he had failed to get
an engagement ring of his deceased
sister which he was guiug to present
to her, but he would buy her a new
,one. She said never to mind get-
ting an expensive ring it he was
hard up -a•$5 ring would do. He
promised to get it, but never did so.
During a suhsegnetlt visit ho found
another young man at the house;
and Miss. Hurrell was tumble to
make an eugagolneut with him in
consort fence. He went away in a
net, and did dart curie back until
January, 1889, when ho apologized
for his absence, and everything was
lovely again. After that visit ho
fell off a street ear and sprained his
ankle, and she nursed him during
his illness. Then trouble of a
financial character closed around
the fair plaintiff and she was forced
to write to O'Callaghan, asking a
loran of $30. 11,i olid slot. answer

After addresses by Messrs. Nee-
bitt and Osler, for their respective
clients, and a lengthy charge by
His Worship, the jury retired, and
in en hour returned with a verdict
for Miss. Hurrell for $4,000 and
costs. She received the congrega-
tions of her friends, a'tn went out

Ou re-exateivatiou by Mr. Osier,
the plaintiff explained that her
quarrel arose with Mrs. Lutz, for-
merly Miss Hall, through a dispute
about who :should monopolize the
parlor to the evening for courtiug
purposes.
Mrs. Margaret Bailey, a chirpy
little woman, with a merry eye, was
a model witness for the plaintiff,
and seemed to get as much fun out
of the situation as the crowd got out
of her tihs with the counsel. Sho
kept a boarding-house. "He used
to conte to ileo her two or three
times a day," she asserted. "He
asked my daughter eetnotitues if
Myra was in, and (nodding hes` head
vigol•uunly) that was pretty fresh.
I said then that a man coming to
see a girl two or three times a day

completed the sentence with another
comprehensive nod that set the
erowd laughing.) One time when
Mr: O'Callaghan came to see her I
was closing the parlor door, and as
I supposed auy body naturally
would, I took a slight glance in.
They were on the sofa. It was a
sofa that would seat four, but when

(Laughter.) Sho also testified that
the defendant was very attentive to
Miss Hurrell, and took her for long
walks up the mountain and to Cho-

IN TH1. SUIT OF THE JESUITS VS.
THE TORONTO " MAIL."
Last week McLaren, Loot, Smith
& Smith tiled in the Superior Court,
Montreal, the first plea, of the Tor-
onto Mail in the suit which the
Society of Jesus has brought againet
that journal. It set forth that the
9Uin1110115 and deelaratiuu are ir-
regular, informal, null and void,
because the Society is not a body
politic and incorporate as the writ
and declaration declare, and there
fore cannot sue the !slail under the
title of Society of Jesus, A further
reason alleged for their inability to
sue is that by the laws of the British
Empire and Province of Quebec the
members are absolutely without
civil rights. Moreover, their vows
preclude them from exercising such
right if they possessed them. The
rules of the Society prevent in-
dividual members from holding
property. The Legislature, it is
said, is iucotnpetent to create this
Society of Jesus a corporate body,
because of the Act which purports
making them such is repugnant. to
Imperial statutes ie -force in this
Province relating to the Society in
question. Tho Legislature possesses
only rights to incorporate companies
with Provincial objects, and the
objects of the Society are not Pro-
viucial. Another objection taken
to the Act is that it fails to define
the objects of the Society, and dons
not in any way restrict it to objects
provincial, but wholly, on the con-
trary.. A strong fault found is that
the Chief of the Soci(y is a.• • Hee,
not resident in this province nor
the British Empire, and his very
position renders him unable to be
come a British subject. It is point-
ed out that the general teaching of
the Society abrogates all power to
the Pope, leaving everything to his
discretion, and would -have it be-
lieved that neither the British Gov-
ernment nor the Provincial Legis-
lature had even a secondary power
as regards the civil and religious
lives of Roman Catholics of the
Province. The "plea concludes
jvith the' requestthat as the toaeh-
iugs and belief of the Society are
subversive of the rights and pre-
rogative of Her Majesty, and of all
moral ' principles which form the
foundation of civil society and of
all laws, said pretended act of in-
corporation be declared ultra vires
of the Legislature of the Province
of Quebec, and therefore null and
void.
:Ir. Lamothe, of the counsel for
the Jesuit Order, said:-" The
Attorney -General, as representing
the Local Government, will be
called in, and there will, therefore,
bo three parties to the suit, as the
Government will have to be notified.
Sorne delay will take place, and the
case may riot be argued until near
the end of May. Whatever may
bo the decision here the case is
sure to go to the Privy Council.
We will reply to the plea at once,
but holding that the Act is constitu-
tional and the plea unfounded."
Q -And you wanted no specta-
tors in the parlor?, A -=-No I did-
n't think it necessary..
Q -You were beingl' kissed by
your young man, I suppose 1 A -

George Lutz, a tall individual
with wild potnpadour blond hair,
admtted that he tvas.t,he young man
who had boon courting the previous

to. He proudly told how from two

eight o'clock to one o'clock during
the courting season. They • held
long sittings. •
On cross exalnivatiou by Mr.

he had kissed hie fiance so many'
times he couldn't count theist.

kuwv she didn't say that. She

wouldu't tell a lie. (Laughter.)
Mr. O'Callaghan, the defendant,
was the next witness. He denied
that he ever made a proposal of
marriage to Miss Hurrell. He said
that Miss Hurrell used to go about
getting pointers for him iu Hamil-
ton regarding hie litigaytion, and he
used to call on her to get them.
He swore that an engagement ring
was never mentioned, and that he
did not make any improper pro-
posals to Miss Hurrell. He was
not worth any such money as $80-
000 and denied that he ever said
he was worth it. When asked how
much be was worth his voice
trembled and he said he did not
know how much he was worth after
his lawyers were paid -perhaps
$5,000 or $6,000.
