The Bicycle Club held the annual meeting on Friday evening and elected officers for 1898. St. Patrick's Day concert in Victoria Hall was only fairly well attended, but perhaps the Lenten season ex- plains the cause. Mrs. Wall, of Clin- ton, was the chief attraction of the first part of the programme, her sing- ing being perfect, and her full, clear, sweet and cultured voice being heard to perfection. The second part con- sisted of the comedy, "On His Last Leg's" in which Mr. C. W. Andrews tins Mrs. Brock Mitcbell took the leading characters. C. W.

The Erie belongs to the Cleveland and Buffalo line, and her dimensions are as follows : length, 324 feet, beam over guards, 78 feet, depth, 1S feet. She is expected to be faster than the City of Buffalo, which runs 21 miles an hour. The Manitoba Free Press of a recent date has the following reference to a one time Goderich resident: "Mr. EugeneCarey leaves on Monday for Morden, where he will occupy the lace of district registrar, in place of Mr. McLeod who recently resigned. Mr. Carey has been a faithful and efficient memller of the lands titles office here since the establishment of the Torrens M system of registration, and his pro- motion to a district registrarship, is certainly deserved." Of the social events of the past week, not the least eu'oyable was the At Horne, given by the Y. P. S. C. E., of Knox church, Monday evening last. Though gotten up somewhat hurriedly the evening proved a very successful one. An informal programme was rendered, Misses Strang, Gibson and Stang, and W. Stoddart contributing vocal solus, Miss Mitchell and Uri- Ste- wart instrumental solos, and Misses Masson and Adams, recitations. The ulusic of the trio consisting of Messrs. Thompson, Uatupaigne, and Maybee, wits much appreciated.

From the Toronto World. Last week information was laid against one Milroy on if, charge of per- jury. It was alleged that lie had taken a false oath before the deputy returning officer fit East York. 'Tile principal witness in the case was Alex- auder Duff, who was life ConservaLive caud'.date's scr itineer ,it the pulling booth where the crime is said to have been committed. At the preliminary examination Milroy's ease was re- mandeCt till Wednesday, tire 18th, when the case against him wits heard and dismissed, Duff was a necessary and material witness ill the case, find the facts we are about to relate will rove the existance of it, conspiracy oil s the part of several provincial offficials to prevent the scrutineer being present at the perjury case to give his evi- dence. The facts tire these: - On Tuesday, the 15th, the day before the trial was to collie off, Mr. Duff was arrested at his home in Locust hill, on a charge of having stolen coal from t he C. P. R. Station. The constable inak- fng the arrest was nart)ed Ross. Al though there were three magistrates within two miles of where the arrest was make, the constable, nevertheless, brought his prisoner to East 'Toronto Vill,Lge, a distance of 28 miles, acid there had him arraived on the charge of larceny. At 9 oclockton the even- ing of the 15th, the constable and his man arrived at the house of G. W. Ormerod, J. P., East Toronto. After hearing the evidence of the constable the Justice 'remanded the case till Thursday, ordering that the prisoner in the meantime should be incarcerat. ed, Well, on towards midnight the same evening t15e constable arrived at the jail, where ]pis prisoner was confin- ed, and on the following day friends of the prisioner appeared before the County Crown Attorney, who, when the case was placed before him, order- ed Mr. Duff's immediate release. In this way he was enabled to give evi- dence in the purjury case, although every effort bad been made by the conspirators to keep him in Tail while the case was in progress. Yesterday the charge against Mr. Duff was heard before Mr. Ormerod, 'Thr; details of the case appear in another column. As will be seen frorn the report the charge against Mr. Duff wt`s probably the most frivolous that has ever come before a court. It was based upon the alleged theft of a lump or two of coal, which Mr. Duff picked up on the high- way, while pas8iilq along it. No one complained of having lost the Coal, and it wits worth but a, cent or two. It is hard` • respect- able that a [e. )ect able man, such ich as lir. Duff is, could have been subjected to so'much indig nity and inconvenience on Such a tri- vival charge. Mr. Duff has lived in the neighborhood of Locust Hill for 40 years, and it is positively the first time he has ever appeared in ,Lily shape or form before a magistrate's court. He is widely known and well respected throughout the whole district, and it is needless to say that when the evidence r•w was heard in Toronto the case against Mr. Duff was dismissed. The con- spirators towards the end of the gone made overtures to tie up the prisoner from bringing any civil action against, them for malicious prosecution. In this, however, they were utisuccess- ful. Two of the parties to the conspiracy are Constable Ross and a certain Jus- tice of the Pence of Locust Hill, who boasted that Mr. Duff would be placed where he could not give evidence in, the perjury case. Whether the EastToronto magistrate wits a party to the transaction or not has- not yet been disclosed, but he certainly acted in har- mony with the policy the conspirators were pursuing. Mr. Ormerod must surely have been astounded when he learn- ed that the prisoner• had been taken 28 miles on a rainy day to be arraigned on the charge of stealingg a couple of cents' worth of coal. He must have been astounded to learn the prisoner had been brought this dis- tance when magistrates were plentiful within a mile or two of the place where the prisoner wits arrested. The magistrate certainly acted very harsh- ly In sending the prisoner to jail, in- stead of letting hill[ out on bitiI when property to the value of two cents only was involved, and when it must have been evident to him that the. prisoner was being persecuted. Mr. Ormerod is known as it, Strong Liberal partisan, If be was not actual. ly in the conspiracy the facts look very unfavorable for him. These are the kind of men who ]seep Premier Hardy in power to -day, There are WW Government officials distribut. ed all over the Province, and they tire leagued together to keep themselves in office. This is the way they are doing it, What they have done after the elec- tion they, would do and have done prey. tons to [t.

JUDGMENT ON RECOUNT, The ballots as It whole were well ,narked and the depot pp returntn oflicers displayed consiciertthlu sltiq and judgment fit the .manner they classified find counted thelu. ,Unfortu- nately the Sallie care was not observed in noting the yoters Who had aFl)plied for and received ballots, in I he couums ill the poll books intended for these records; in some pull books these records were imperfectly kept, in souse the columns were left entirely black. The disputed ballots found among the counted and rejected bolluts 1 classify under the following heads. 1. BALLOTS MARKED WITH A 81NOLF MARK INSTEAD OF A CROSS. Following South Wentworth, Olui- stead vs. Carpenter, H.E.O., 531; North Victoria, Cameron vs. McLennan, H. E. C., 671; and Monck, Gr•aut vu. Me - Callum, 11. G. C., 725, I have rejected one ballot in No. 5, Goderich! town, counted by deputy returning officer for Mr. Garrow, wanted with a single per- dendiculav stroke, tutus I , food 0118 in No. 2, Aslifield, r"ejected by deputy re- turning officer and claiuled by Mr. Garrow unarmed with single horizontal stroke, thus-. 2, IMPERFECT CROSSES. lu No. 2, Colborne, it, ballot, was marked ill compartment with lir. Beck's mime with what resembled all inverted V more than it cross, though one side extended slightly beyond the point of contact, had been rejected by deputy returning officer. Following Queen's Co., Jenkins vs. Brecken, 7, S. 0. R., 247; and Bothwell, Hawkins vs. Smith, 8, S.C.R., 976, and being of the opinion that the voter lit - tempted or intended to wake,', truss, and though it was fn some respects iutperfect, there was nothing in the mark that could identify the voter. I counted this ballot for Mr. Beck. 3. BALLOTS MARKED ON THE BACK IN- STEAD OF THE FACE. In No. 1, Colborne, one marked with cross on back of Mr. Garrow's com- partment, and ill No. 1, Ashlield, No. 1, Blyth, slid No. 5, Hullott, one in each inarked with cross oil hack of :lir. Beck's compartment, were rejected by deputy returning officers. As these ballots were printed oft paper heavy enough that when laid on a table to mark, nothing on the face could be seen through thew, I consider such mark- ing can only be accounted for by pvt•- verseness, and following (queen's Co, and South Wentworth cases above cited, I reject all ballots so uutf ked. 4. BALLOTS NOT HAVING iNITIALS OF I DLPUTY ItLTUUN1AO OL+FICLIL ON BACK. 11 In No. 4, Ashfield, a ballot having no initials whatever till the hack had been counted fur' lir. Garrow, this wits objected to as riot properly identified. On counting tine ballots it Wits found that this ballot was required to Lally with rte number marked on poll book as having voted and the .tune not ap- pearing -pearing to have been objected to be- fore D.R.U. The presumption that it. was duly obtained by voter, Iluu•kcd by hint and received by the deputy returning otlicer in good faith, and that the deputy returning ofticer bad ivad• vertently omitted to put his initials on the lack is so strong that I cnusider this to cove within the proviso to sub section 3, section 112 of O.E.A., and 1 count, the amille as Rood ballot for Mr. Gamow. In No. 3.Wi-ar, lvawanOsh, 89 ballots were endorsed with the deputy returning officer's initials "1). B.M." and one only with the initials •'O. S." This one had been counted by D.H., O. for Mr. Garrow and objected to oil the ground that, being the only olne so marked it could be erisily identifled, arid that it wits improperly marked, and not having tilt- iuitials of 1). It. O. was not necessary genuine, and , lr'as besides It, direct violation of the law. 1t,•. Garrow claiuled that the initials U.S. were those of the pull clerk find must be itr•esutued to be genuine, that ballot wits ,fssned in due course, and that the st'tLe.ment No. 12 ballot ac- count shows 9U ballots were used and this one is required to initktt up that number. Referring to the poll book which is Llie only check I have access to (see section 1213, 128, 113 and 113,) I found ouly 89 Danes marked as having received ballots; this fact in Illy opinion rebuts any presumption that ought otherwise arisit in favour of couutiDg this ballot, the tally being Complete without it. lir. Garrow re- fers to Russell, Barker vs. Mor Ran, H. E.C„ 519; and specially to the langu- age of Moss, J.('.0., page 521, when dealing with ballots which had been iniproperly numbered. I have, as in the next pr•ecedhig case, given full weight to the presumption fn favoilr• of regularity and good faith, but in the matter of it recount where no provision is made for hearing evidence I think it would be going too far to presume regularity in face of two facts, which unexplained appear irre- gular. I therefore reject this ballot as one riot having D.It.O. initials en- dorsed, and ns having marks by which voter could be. identified, and there be- ing room to doubt its genuineness. 5. BALLOTS MARKED WITH. CROSS AND ADDITIONAL LINIfs. Though there were several such counted by D.Ii,.O's, I wits only asked to note three of them, the rest being counted without protest from either side. In No. 3, Colborne, one ballot counted by the deputy returning offi- cer for Mr. Beck had some irregular marks along one corner of the cross, which Mr. Garrow contended might. be intended for initials; to rue they amount to nothing more than irregular marks made by it nervous person and are no evidence of any intention to (lo • more than made a cross. Ill No. 5, Goderich town, it ballot with several strokes, some of thorn crossing each other, and with several strokes on the `tack, counted by D.R.O. for Mi. Gar - row, wits objected too 1) the grouno] that such rnark4 might identify voter, in that the mark resembles al 11 rutile ...,..., ft- _ ....A ♦t... ....-l, .... 1,....1, -1-111 n. .... i.,o, ,-o certainly more numerous than neces- sary, and the mark on back r•esenihles the extra lines nn face, hot to my eye they reveal nothing that would lead to identification, being simply a number of erratic strokes out of which a cross, ,in fact several crosses, (,tin be plainly traced. In No. 3, West Wnwanosh, it ballot marked with a number of ir- regular lines had been counted by 1). R.O. for Mr. BeckandwnsobjectP(I(non tho ground] that the voter after milking cross had Scored it out. and such marks ,night lead to identiHcadon. It, is hard to know whero to draw the line; the objection t.akcri by Mr (barrow might wll.h equal force a ply to the one just mentioned. Blake V.C. in Monck, Grant vs. Mc(lallnm, H, L. A., 725 at p. 731 speaking of this class of marks says: 'The Act dors not, say "any marl,, or any deliherato ,nark, "hut: tiny writing or ninrk by which "the voter could be identified. i think "the Mark must contain in itself it "means of identification of the voter, "in order to vitiate the ballot. there "must he something in the mark itself CLINTON NE WS-REC "Stich as air initial its some [uark -known its being; une the voter is fit "the habit of ut%hig." 1 set: notrfng front which I call presuute that th,• voter intended Lu spud his ballot or crake a mark by which ho could. be identified.
