On Suspended Sentence
The famous Maggie Pollock case came
up on Tuesday morning of last week be-
fore His Honour Judge Dickson again,
the lady coming up for sentence. It is
recalled that when Miss Pollock was first
tried for the offence of practising the
occult science she was found guilty by His
Honour but an appeal was taken to Os -
goods Hall by -Miss Pollock's counsel,
Chas Garrow, to ascertain the opinion of
the superior court as to whether Miss
i Pollock's practise should be considered
as an offence against the criminal Code.
The judgement on the appeal was to sus-
tain the trial judge's finding, and it re-
mained therefore for Judge Dickson to
decide the penalty, Miss Pollock is let go
on suspended sentenco and is bound over
on the surety of hertelf and her brother
William, to refrain from practising the
occult science or pretending to have com-
munication with spirits and to have sup-
ernatural powers. His Honor pointed
out to her that she could give it as her
opinion that such and such was the case
but must not claim to have supernatural
intimation that such was so. F or instance,
in locating lost articles, which me= to be
one of the popular manifestations of Miss
Ilollock'8 clairvoyance, or whatever it is
to be called, she could give it as her opin-
ion that the article would be -W in a
