by the Open Stock Exchange against Mr.R.W.Gale, for an unpaid call of $100, has been dismissed by the Hon.Mr.Justice Rainville.The merits of the case, including the legality of buying and selling stocks on margins, was not touched upon, the case being dismissed on the ground that the action being for more than $50, and no written evidence of the debt having been put in, it was consequently barred by the statute of limitation.FINANCIAL, The official return of the banks doing business in Canada to the end of February is before us, and considering that large obligations have been provided for since last month, it is on the whole a favourable exhibit.We observe that circulation has increased $322,000 as compared with last month, but is about $2,500,000 less than for the month of December.The returns for the three past months show the eirculation to have been.December.January.February.$36,501,694 $33,722,447 $34,044,909 Deposits under the several heads have, as compared with

$226,082,996 Monetary circles to-day were firm and and quiet, with a strong and confident undertone prevailing, notwithstanding the energetic efforts of the \u201cbears\u201d to the contrary.The public should be very cautious in accepting the stories so plentifully spread broadcast, by the \u201cbears\u201d as regards impending failures.Those interested in the depression of stocks will stand on small ceremony to gain their point.\u201cThe end justifies the means\u201d is the motto which they fight under, not giving a thought as to the damage their exaggerated rumours may entail on the country at large.From what we could gather to-day, we%are strengthened in our opinion expressed yesterday, that the majority of the securities have touched bottom, and that this week = promises to be a decided improvement on last.The rates for money remain unchanged at 63 @ 7 for prime mercantile paper as to name and date, and 64 for call loans as to the nature of the collateral.The market for Sterling Exchange is a shade firmer, and a small business was done at 8% for hankers 60- day bills, and 9% demand.Currency on New York 7-16 @ 4 premium.The foreign exchange market in New York is stronger under an increased demand.Consols in London are firm at 102 1-16 for money and 102 3-16 for account.United States bonds steady 43\u2019 at 1163; 5s at 1064, and American railway securities strong.Erie, 38$ ; Il.Central, 149.The money market in New York still continues dear, ranging from 11 @ 12 per cent on call loans on stock collaterals.In consequence of this stringency in money there is an almost total disinclination to buy stocks.It becomes more patent every day to the operators on Wall street that there is very little prospects at present of any large gold shipments from London, as gold eagles are selling in London ata premium, and the Bank of England keeps its rate of discount at 3 p.c.The statement of averages of the New York bankse for last week showed a loss of $3,800,000 for the six days.The banks exhibited a deficiency of over $6,700,000 in the reserves, which the law requires shall be kept equal to twenty-five per cent of the deposits.Last year for the corresponding week the banks of the city held $687,825 more than the full legal reserve.The present deficiency is attributed to the outflow of currency to the West and South which sets in every March, but which began much earlier than usual this year.There is a pretty general belief in banking and mercantile circles that money has also been locked up by speculators who desire to affect the stock market.However all this may be, it is pretty clear that the mercantile classes and not the speculators in stocks are most oppressed by the existing stringency.There was a better demand for stocks in Toronto this morning, the feeling having considerably improved on that of the past few days.The local stock market, though not particularly animated, developed more strength than the \u201cbears\u201d anticipated.There was certainly ne great desire shown by speculators to do much trading, the transactions, therefore, were light, excepting for Gas, which were dealt in to some considerable extent.Bank of Montreal opened at 199, and at the close of the morning session had advanced to 2001@ 2003, dropping back in the afternoon to 1993, buticlosing for the day firm at 200.Ontario sold

without material change from last week.Buying is still limited to the smallest possible proportions, which, combined with the rather large supplies carried, and the further weakness in wheat, tends to make the market pre-disposed to easiness.On \u2018Change the market was dull and lifeless, no business being reported.Our former quotationsare nominally unchanged as follow :\u2014 Superior Extra, per

Montreal, March 12, 1883.To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Montreal : GENTLEMEN,-\u2014I am instructed by the promoters of the ahove enterprise to request that you will kindly afford to their Engineer, Mr.F.Foster Bateman, M.C.E., an opportunity at an early a date as ma : convenient of explaining to your Council the nature and objects of their scheme, and to fully set before you the advantages which they claim will accrue to the City of Montreal from the carrying out of the same.have the honour to be, gentlemen, : Your obedient servant, R.J.HENDERSON, Secretary.Ald.Grenier moved that the communi cation be referred to the Road Committee and the City Surveyor for report, After some discussion, Ald.J.'C.Wilson moved, in amendment, seconded by Ald.Donovan, that the Council should hear Mr.Bateman on Monday afternoon next at three o\u2019clock.The amendment was carried by a vote of twenty for and four against.NOTICES OF MOTION.Ald, Jeannotte\u2014 That the minutes of every meeting of Council and of Committees be written in both French and English at the time of the employes of each department.\u201d Ald.Jeannotte\u2014 That the privileges granted to the Steam Users Insurance Company be at once withdrawn, because that company has not conformed to their own roposition, as by the report of the Fire Committee to the Corporation, dated the 4th of September, 1882.: Ald.Jeannotte\u2014That sections 27, 28, 29, 30 and 39 in by-law \u2018108, entitled a \u201c Bylaw concerning steam boilers,\u201d be repealed and that the Tuspector of Boilers inspect all boilers gratuitously, and receive a regular salary, the same as any other employee of the Corporation.Ald.Tansey\u2014For a schedule of stated meetings for standing committees of the Council for the year 1883.Ald.Fairbairn\u2014For leave to atend Bylaw No.94, especially that part relating to special taxation.Ald.Stroud\u2014That Hospital street be continued through to Notre Dame.QUESTIONS BY MEMBERS.Ald.Jeannotte, Chairman of Police, asked if the Finance Committee intended to grant any sum this year for the erection of a new police station at Chaboillez Square, which was so greatly needed.Ald.Grenier said that no appropriation could be granted for thie purpose this ear.y Ald.Donovan asked what the Finance Committee intended doing in reference to the proposed increase of the salaries of the Corporation employes.Ald.Grenier said that the Finance Committee would report on the subject as soon as possible, but he might as well say that the report of the Figance Committee would certainly be againdt \u2018any increase being made this year.The Road Committee would have to take an appropriation of $60,000 less this year, and this being the case, it could be easily seen that any general increase of salaries would be out of the uestion.But justice would, he assured them, be done to any exceptional cases.Ald.Beauchamp\u2014I would like to know from Col.Stevenson what has become of the drill shed question.; Ald.Stevenson\u2014Do you wish to know what the drill shed is ?(Loud laughter.) The drill shed, I may inform my worthy colleague, is precisely in the same place as it was this time last year.Ald.Beausobell-\u2014\u201c And in the same condition too?\u201d [Renewed laughter.) Ald.Stevenson, continuing, said that he could not positively state what the Government intended doing in the matter.The faull of no further steps being taken did uot, however, lay with the City Council, which had done all in its power in the matter, but with the Militia Department.THE AMENDMENTS TO THE CHARTER.Ald, Grenier said he had à very impori- ant matter to bring before the Council.He referred to the passing of an amendment Brown, the following resolutions :\u2014 Resolved,\u2014That this Council have learned with regret and alarm that the Commitice on Private Bills at Quebec, have adopted certain amendments to the draft of the Bill of the Corporation of Montreal, which was recently submitted to the House of Assembly, and amongst others one abolishing the Statute Labour Tax, the effect of which will be to materially modify the representation in the City Council by changing the system of voting which has\u2019 prevailed from time immemorial in our Municipal Elections.; \u2018That this question is of the highest importance connected as it is 50 intimately with the City\u2019s finances.; \u2018\u2019That in the opinion of this Council every change made in its organization without its intervention or knowledge is unconstitutional and against the principles of sound representation, and this Eounell deem it their duty to pratest with all their strength against such egislation as is sought bp be imposed upon the chief 4 City ef the Dominion without previous consultation.That these amendments, several of which are of à radical and organic character have been introduced in tho Private Bills Committee of the Legis.ative Assembly, without any previous notice to the parties interested and are therefore a serious encroachment upon the rights, privileges and franchise, with which the city of Montreal has been vested on many occasions by the Legislature of the Province.Be it therefore resolved, that the three members, whomore especially represent the city of Montreal in the House of Assembly, be requested to use their influence to have the said amendments removed from the Bill, and in case their efforts should prove unavalling that the City Attorney be and hereby is authorized to withdraw the Bill.\u201d A SCENE AMONGST THE VAITHFUL.A long, and, at certain stages, a h cated discussion ensued,on Ald.Grenier\u2019s motion.Ald.Grenier supported his motion in a few remarks, in the course of which he dwelt upon the importance of the matter, and denied the right of the Private Bills Committee and certain members of the Quebec House to interfere ir.matters especially appertaininggto the city of Montreal without consulting the city authorities.He referred to the recent passage of an amendment by the Private Bills Committee of the Quebec House abolishing the statute labour tax, and denied that this was the wish of the Council, Ald.Beausoliel differed from the re marks of Ald.Grenier, and opposed the motion., Ald.Mooney supported Ald.Grenier.Ald.Robert rose to oppose Ald.Grenier, when the latter gentleman rose to speak.Ald.Robert, in a very excited manner, rose and charged Ald.Grenier with playing him false.He said that Ald.Grenier had given his word of honour to vote at the caucus to place him on the Park Commissioners in place of Ald.Donovan and had afterwards voted against it.Ald.Grenier explained that when he had first promised to vote to place Ald.Robert on the Purk Commissioners he understood that they had a right to do so, but it was afterwards pointed out that Ald.Donovan had been appointed for three years, hence his reason for voting against it.Ald.Robert attempted to make some further remarks, but was interrupled by Ald.Beauchamp, who, in the meantime, had obtained the floor.Both members endeavoured to speak at once, and, in consequence, a glorious hubbub, intermingled with loud cries of *¢ Order, order,\u201d ensued for several minutes before order was obtained.AMENDMENTS TO MOTION.Al.Rainville said Ald.Grenier\u2019s motion wag going somewhat too far, and he moved in amendment, seconded by Ald.Jeannotte, That this Council concurs in the amendments that have been made to the charter of the city relative to the annexation of neighbouring maunicipalitios, and qualifications, but regrets that the Committechave seen fit to abolish the statute labour tax and to give to lawyers thefright to recover from the city the costs of cases in the Recorder\u2019s Court without consulting the Council of Montreal.Ald.Donovan opposed Ald.Rainville\u2019s amendment on the ground that it admitted the right of outside parties to interfere in the Council\u2019s business._ Ald.MeShane, after some further dis- cusion had taken place.moved in amendment to the amendment, seconded by Ald.Holland, \u201c T'hat this Council do not ap prove of the action of the Local Legislature and the Act passed by the Private Bills Committee, last Friday, in Quebec, relating to the annexation of municipadties und the abolishing of the Statute Labour Tax, without any vote or demand from the City Council of Montreal, it being à violation of the rights of the peoples which this Council, through the Mayor and Aldermen, represent.\u201d THE VOTE.The amendment of Ald.McShane was first put to the meeting and was lost on the following division :\u2014 Yeas.\u2014Ald.Hood, Donovan, J.C.Wilson, Meoney, Holland, Hagar, Fairbairn, Tansey, Stevenson, Stroud, and McShane \u2014I1.\u2019 Nays.\u2014Ald.Grenier, Laurent, Beauchamp.Robert, Thos.Wilson, Prevost, Brown, Dubuc, Bainville, Beausoleil, Mount, Berger, Roy and Genereux \u201414.Ald.Rainville\u2019s amendment was then put to the meeting and declared carried on a reverse division, by 14 for and 11 against.ALBANIT'S \u2018RECEPTION.Ald.Grenier drew attention to the fact that Albani, the famous prima donna, a Canadian by birth, was about to visit Montreal, her native city, and he thought the Council should take\u2019 steps to give her a fitting reception.He suggested that the matter should be left in the hands of a Committee from the Council, the members of which might proceed to St.Albans to meet the distinguished lady.Ald.Rainville moved, seconded by Ald.J.C.Wilson, \u201cThat a public reception be tendered to Madame Gye, and that a Committee.composed of Ald.Grenier, Mount, Dubuc, Prevost, Stevenson, McShane and Beausoleil, with the mover and seconder, be appointed to make the necessary arrangements to this end.\u201d The motion was carried unanimously, with the exception of Ald.Holland, who dissented on the ground that it would constitute a precedent.On motion of Ald.Wilson the Council then adjourned.+ THE GREAT ARTISTS ON \u201c WEBER \u201d The New York Times says \u2014 \u201c As song-bird after song-bird, from the inimitable Albani to our own dear Louise shores, the last kindly adieu from the deck of the parting steamer is invariably wafted to Weber.\u201cFor many years\u2014in fact from the Patti, Gester, and hundreds of «thers\u2014 Weber has thus been singled out by them all.Partly no doubt, this is due to his kindness to them, but mamly

question.As they were liable to be called before the Magistrate to give evidence on their signature to petitions for tavern licenses, it was well for them to know what they were doing when putting their name to such a document.They actually declared that they knew the petitioner to be honest, and that the tavern or saloon mentioned was necessary in the locality.Many persons had already called upon him, the preacher, expressing their regret for having signed those petitions, the nature of which they did not know.The reverend gentleman called for the earnest co-operation of all present to help him in reducing the number of saloons and taverns in their parish, especially of those where gambling is carried on.He concluded his remarks by urging his hearers to keep away from club houses and to seek for recreation in the family circle.Missrovarn MeerinG.\u2014A largely \"attended missionary meeting was held last even'ng in the St.James Street Methodist Church, under the auspices of

to Death, COURT OF QUEENS BENCH\u2014 CROWN SIDE.MoxTrEaL, March 19.The Court of Queen's Bench, criminal side, resumed this morning at 10.30.Present\u2014Hon.Justice Ramsay.Messrs.C.P.Davidson, Q.C.and J.A.Ouimet, Q.C., M.P., for the Crown.THE LONGUE POINTE MURDER, The trial of Timothy Milloy for the murder of William Nesbitt, at Longue Pointe, was continued.The case for the Crown was declared closed, and the case for the defence opened, Narcisse Renaud was the frat witness, and testified that he was a carter, belonging to Montreal.He met the prisoner on the night of the 18th, the night before the shooting, on Notre Dame street.At his request fie drove him as far as Cavalier's Hotel.The prisoner wanted to stop there, but the proprietor would not allow him.Prisoner was quite sober.There was a dixpute between witness and prisonerabout the fare, but the witness finally left the prisoner about a quarter to three in the morning in the shed behind the schoo house and did not see him afterward.Dr.Brunel was the next witness called.Being sworn he said he was surgeon at the Notre Dame Hospital.He had frequently attendee gun-shot wounds.It was difficult to trace the direction of a bullet several hours after the wound had been received.The presence of a bag of air on the opposite side of the neck would suggest the presence of a bullet.If this bag had been incised, the bullet would have been revealed.This operation would not have been dangerous to the patient.Harnessing a horse would have a harmful effect upon aman after receiving such a wound, as perfect rest is necessary.The witness did not consider that the examination was thorough enough.The wound in the mouth was not sufficiently examined.It was alinost impossible for a bullet to strike the vertebral column and fly out of the mouth unless the mouth was wide open.The operation of opening the neck ou the opposite sid ewas not necessarily dangerous.There was more danger in leaving the bullet injthe wound than in extracting it on account of the irritation which would exist while the foreign matter remained there.The wound was not necesarilly a mortal one, as none of the vital parts were touched.The symptoms of tetanus as exhibited by the deceased were incomplete, The symptoms were rather those of trismis, a mild form of tetanus.Had the witness been called in he would not have ceased his examination until he had determined the exact location of the bullet, which was a source of constant irritation.traction of the bullet would have been an easy operation for any surgeon.r.Angns McDonald, being sworn, said he agreed with the last witness in the main point of the evidence.If the patient were in a nervous condition he would not have extracted the bullet at once.In his opinion the patient died from exhaustion conse uent on trismus.Dr.Roddick, being re-called by the defence, said he had a large experience in the treatment of gunshot wounds.Had, however, never treated an exactly similar wound in the same part, which had one or two gunshot injuries of the neek when the tissues were traversed in a somewhat similar direction.One of these cases was fatal.The others were superficjal.Dr, H.B.Craig, being sworn, said he had been practising for the past 37 years Was also Professor-ofthe practice of medicine at Victoria College.Kuew.Dr.Brunel and believed he was a competent surgeon and was one of the first among the young ractitioners.Knew Dr.Roddick slightly, ut was aware that his professional reputation was of a high character.he wound was not necessarily mortal.Adolphe Bissionnette, being sworn, said he was High Constable for the City and District of Montreal.He produced a number of papers found in the possession of the prisoner, among which were a certificate showing him to have served nineteen years in Her Majesty\u2019s 96th Regiment of Foot, to have borne a good character duriñg that period, and to be in receipt of 12d per day pension.This closed the evidence for the defence.Mr.Monk then addressed the juiy in English on behalf of the prisoner and was followed inthe French language by Mr.Corneillier on the same side.Messrs, Davidson and Ouimet having addressed the jury for the Crown, the Court adjourned for half an hour.His Honour Judge Ramsay then delivered a very exhaustive charge to the jury in both languages, in the course of his remarks reviewing in detail the whole facts of the case which he characterized as a very clear one against the prisoner at the bare GUILTY OF MURDER.His Honour concluded his charge shortly before six o\u2019clock and the jury after a very ghort deliberation returned to Court and announced a verdict of \u201c Guilty \u201d against the prisoner, who received the intelligence of his fate with the same determined a pearance as has characterized him through- ont the proceedings of his trial.SENTENCED TO DEATH.Hon.Justice Ramsay, having retired for an interval, returned to Court and proceeded, after the usual declaration had been made by the Crier,\u201d to perform the solemn task of sentencing the prisoner to death, amid the utmost silence from the large number of persons present in the Court-room, His Honour, in the course of a few remarks to the prisoner, dwelt upon the enormity of his crime, in murdering in cold blood the man against whom he had not the least provocation.He had, after a most patient trial and after an able defence, been convicted and it but remains for the Court, eoncluded his Honour, to pass sentence upon you, which was that you shall be conveyed to the common gaol for the district of Montreal, thence to be taken to the place of execution, on the 16th of April next, and hung by the head untill you are dead, and may God have mercy on your soul.; The prisouer, who displayed but little uneasiness at the sentence of the Court, room and removed to gaol.; The Court then adjourned till morning.MR.M.C.MULLAREY.- A HANDSOME PRESENTATION TO À RESPECTED CITIZEN.We are pleased to notice its object a fenilgman whom in citizens hol The ex-} was immediately taken from the Courtthe upon all times and all occasions, indications of an entente cordiale, between capital and labour, and the greater is our gratification when the exhibition of the feeling has for his fellow e highest respect.In our days when business is run so closely DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, TUESDAY, MARCH 20 reviously incurred and it is their duty to dizclinrge.Among the hundred pets ou the ncn of whom Montreal is croud is Mr.M.C.Mullarky, and that by honourable dealing with those with whom he has come in contact, he has risen to the surface there is abundant proof.And net only thi, lie has never been one to oppress or be exacting upon his employes, as subjoined interesting proceedings will show.Yesterday morning, on his return from New York, Mr.Mullarky, on entering his extensive boot and shoe establishment, was invited to the fitter\u2019s department, where he found all hands, to the number of hetween four and five hundred, assembled.Having received a very warm welcome o > Mr.Mullarky was called to the front by Mr.A.T.Keegan.those present singing, \u201cFor he's a jolly good fellow.\u201d Mr.Keegan then read the following address : \u2014 To M.C.Mullarky, Esq.DEAR AND HONOURED SIR,\u2014During the mauy years that we have been in your employ we have always cheris:ed for you th highest respect and esteem, but have been unable to express our feelings according te our desire: yet we can no longer refrain from showing In some manner our just appreciu- tion of your devotion towards us, your employees, to whom your have proved a kin\u2018! conscientious and forbearing employer, studying our interests, very often to the detriment of your owh, and ever evincing a fatherly regard in our welfare.It also affords us great pleasure and pride to be in your employ knowing that we are under the safe guidance of one who has proved himself superior to all obstacles and\u2019 who, through all the difficulties and temptations so numerous in business life, has come forth unstained and undaunted.Your \u20ac cample, it is needless to say, inspires us all to push onward and upward, because we have seen you during the universal crisis of '78-'79 re-commencing at the foot of the ladder, and to-day, through your indomitable energy and superior business ability, you stand the largest manufacturer of boots and shoes inCanada, with a name unblemished and respected by al and a trade not nierety confined to home but extending to Great Britain, the West Indies and Brazil.Without the shadow of a doubt you had not only the love and respect of those who are so fortunate as to be in your employ, but as a citizen and personal friend you are spoken of with the highest enconiums.Your generosity is known far and wide, and although your goodness is unostentatious, such generosity as yours cannot well be hidden, but is brought to light as it deservedly should ve.We cannot say that your liberality is confined to yourself alone, because in that amiable and estimable lady, your wife, you always find a ready co-operator in your benevolent acts.You are both a credit to your native land\u2014that beautiful but unhappy country, that lies three thousand miles from the fair city in which you have chosen to make your home.We sincerely hope that you will be long spared to your family and friends, and that your life will continuecas it has hitherto been\u2014 one of exemplary integrity and usefulness, and that the sun of prosperity may always shine on you and yours.In conclusion, we beg you to accept the accompanying gift, with the very best wishes of your faithful employes, trusting that the good feeling existing between us, as employer and employes, may never diminish, but, if possible, increase.We remain, ; Yours very r ctfully, Signed on behalf of your employes, ANDREW T.KEEGAN, office department; ALFRED CONTANT, Superintendent of factory; PATRICK MCCAFFREY, bottoming departmen JOHN B.PONTBRIAND, fitting department; PATRICK SMITH, sole leather department; JOSEPH GAUTHIER, cutting room; BENJAMIN LECLAIRE, finishing room, Mr.Mullarky was then prese) ted with an exceedingly handsome tea and coffee set of very elegant design (seven pieces in all) and tray.The tray bearing the following inscription :\u2014 PRESENTED TO M.C.MULLARKY, ESQ, BY HIS EMPLOYES, As a token of the high esteem and respect in which they hold him.Montreal, 17th March, 1883.Mr.Mullarky also received a remarkably chased and beautiful water pitcher of the very latest design.The whole having been obtained at the establishment of Messrs.Henry Birks & Co.in whose windows the articles will be exhilited.Accompanyin the silverware was a well designed flora harp, dedicated to * Mrs.and Misses Mullarky,\u201d together with stand bouquets for three Misses Mullarky.Mr.Mullarky, to whom the presentation was as grateful as unexpected, replied as follows :\u2014 My DRAR FRIENDS,\u2014This kindness on your art causes me great surprise and indeed em- arassment.Absent last week in New York Ionly returned yesterday (Sunday) to receive this morning your very magnificent presentation.I heartily thank you not knowing how more adequatel ï to express my gratitude for the honour you have conferred upon me and the confidence to which you have given such generous expression.The consideration which you have given to me and minel most heartily reciprocate.1 am pleased to know from the tone of your address that although fer twenty years many of you have been connected with me as em- ployees-in my manufactory, you recognize me as having been just and true to you.It istrue that one or two strikes have oe- curred during that period, but the difficulty was not with me or with my business, rather indeed with the trade generally.I fhen opposed you on principle, in your defence, us well asin that of my own interests.While I am always ready and willing to pay as high wages as other manufacturers, you will sce that it is impossible for me to compete withthem if I eannot get my work done at at least the same prices.Tam and ever was anxious and willing to advance your interests to the utmost of my ability, in doing which I was but promoting my own, and therefore, at great personal expense I extended my trade to Great Britain and to Central and South America.If you continue as in the past honest, hardworking and industrious, we shall prosper together, if we remain united.I haveevery sympathy with the workingmen, because I am one of them, and I hope always to be regarded as such, inasmuch as that sentiment is and must be a bond to unite us together.My dear friends,\u2014It is with heartfelt thanks that accept thls magnificent presentation to myself and Mrs.Mullarky, and I hope at some future day not far distant to be able to entertain you in my new and more commodious factory.when I hope to make you a more suitableÿreply to your flattering, and, 1 am sure, cordial address.The above reply was repeated in French by Mr.Gougeon, and a very pleasant reunion was then terminated.THE LATE DR.KOLLMYER.The

while, even in the British Islands themselves, thousands had the most crude ideas as to our geography and climate, and very few indeed knew anything about our resources, or thé character and customs of our people.In those days the United States, in the opinion of many otherwise well informed persons, practically covered the whole of the continent of America that was of any value; and Canada was but a small patch of ice and snow, away up in the region of the North Pole, occupied here and there by sparse settlements of fur-clad hyperboreans, who lived on the fruits of the streams and the chase, and occasionally indulged in the pleasure of a drive behind Ixquimo dog-trains and ambling reindeers.That this is wo exaggeration can be proved by turning to the geographies that were in use in Europe less than half a century ago, or by the experience of those who can go back that far.Fortunately for Canada the great work of Confederation was undertaken ; and the result is that to-day our country is comparatively well-known throughout Europe, though there is still much to be accomplished before we can hope to compete successfully with the United States for the surplus population of Europe, and to stand abroad on anything like equal footing with our great Republican neighbor.When we compare the Canada of to-day with the Canada of twenty-five years ago, the contrast is little short of marvellous.The progress and advancement that have been made are without a parallel in the world\u2019s history; and indicate that we have within ourselves all the stamina, energy, perseverance and spirit without which no people can ever become great, without which no country can ever expect to prosper.Our territory extends over an arca of 3,600,000 square miles ; and, though our population is but five millions, it is increasing at a rate that promises to more than double itself within the next decade.The annual public revenue and expenditure reach over sixty millions of dollars.In the extent and tonnage of her mercantile marine Canada stands the fourth country in the world.Her great fisneries are second fo none; while the inland navigation system of her rivers, lakes and canals cannot be surpassed the world over.The aggregate export and import trade of the Dominion amounts to about three hundred millions of dollars, and is constantly increasing.The wealth of our grand forests is practically inex- haustable ; while the wooded lands of the east, and the grand prairies of the far west offer homes, surrounded hyall the blessings of comfort and contentment, for many millions of people.Our railways, agriculture, manufactures and general industries present abundant evidence that in several important respects we lave advanced far beyond many of the old countries of Europe ; and that within à few years, we have accomplished that which it took them centuries to achieve.That all this is true is beyond dispute ; and the figures we have given cannot be questioned.Yet, with all this; with a system of government that presents few defects ; with a history and surroundings that entitle us to rank higher, than we de, we are, afterall, as helpless and as TIME MONTREAL HERALD, AND DAILY COMMERCIAL, GAZETTE.powerless abroa« as the most insigniti- cant colony of the empire Though we possess everything that goos to make Up a nation, we have no standing as a nation, we are unknown as a nation.Though we may trade with all the world, though we have full power to make our own domestic laws, and to regulate our affairs within our own borders, we cannot talk to our next door neighbours on a simple question affecting our international commercial relations, without the consent and intervention of Downing street, three thousand miles away.Let us not be misunderstood : We are not talking politics now in the general meaning of the word: nor are we hinting at political independence in any possible way.What we are claiming, and what is claimed and desired, we fully believe, by the great majority of the people of Canada is, that we should have the right and | power, within ourselves, to negotiate treaties of a purely commercial nature with foreign countries, instead of having the work dome for us by others.We know our wants and our trade relations with our neighbours better than they can possibly be known in Downing street.It is a fact that in nearly every instance the interests of Canada have suffered when English diplomats have undertaken to act for us with the Americans ; not through any want of earnestness or honesty on the part of those who were acting as our representatives, but through a want of knowledge as to Canada\u2019s requirements, as well as through the special sharpness and information of the men with whom they were brought in contact.Canada should mo longer be treated as a child.It is absurd that a country of her extent, population, and resources, with her ships on every sea, and trade connections extending to all parts of the world, should have no standing abroad, and should be utterly powerless to enter into the most simple business treaty, without the sanction and assistance of other people.It is high time that we were placed in a different position in this respect ; a position that, without weakening the tie that binds us to the mother country, would, at the same time, give us that commercial independence and prominence abroad to which wr can fairly lay claim to be entitled.THE MONTREAL MILCH COW, La Patrie has an article called \u201c the Milch Cow,\u201d in which it applies the term, so far as the Quebec Government is concerned, to the city of Montreal.It is to this city that Mr.Wurtele turns his attention when he seeks to cover up his deficits and to comply with the demands caused by the extravagance which prevails.Mont:eal, it goes on to say, pays three-quarters of the imposts levied for the administration of\u2018 justice.It is the same with hotel licenses.To this source of revenue Montreal contributes very largely.We agree with this, and hold that we are paying out of all due proportion.Montreal hotel-keepers are discriminated against to the advantage of Quebec and the rural districts.For this there is no reason and no justification, inasmuch as the opposition is not so great as it is here, where there are too many licensed houses conducted af a greater expense than they are in the other sections to which we have referred.Our contemporary continues that for some years a tax was levied on contracts or policies of insurance.In Montreal the large insurance companies have their offices and accept considerable risks.It has been the property owners and merchants of Montreal who indirectly paid this levy up to the time when it was abolished by the highest tribunal in the Empire.But not being satisfied, and still lacking funds, Mr.Wurtele once more sought out the commercial and industrial companies, the banks and other corporations which had made Montreai the centre of their operations.This system has been followed ever since the introduction of the Federal system in Canada, and it has been Montreal, always Montreal, from which have been drawn the resources which have permitted the Provincial Government to continue to drag its-chain and to defer the day of direct taxation.Our\u2019 contemporary congratulates.Mr.McShane upon having protested against this system, and remarks that the Ministry appear to believe that Montreal resembles the inexhaustible cow that was shown at the exhibition of 1881.They bear down upon her merchants, her bankers, her manufacturers, her hotel- keepers, and even her lawyers.©\u201c Soon,\u201d it is remarked, \u201c we shall be forced seriously to consider the pleasantry of our correspondent, who expressed the idea of annexing the Island of Montreal to the Province of Ontario.Perhaps, it may be necessary to come to that to escape the exactions of the Quebec Government.\u201d The article which we have reviewed is extremely well-timed, and for our part we have reason to believe that there are many who look upon the \u2018\u201c pleasantry\u201d of the correspondent in question as a contingency, which at no remote date may have to be seriously considered.Mr.Mousseau and Mr.Wurtele have, it is manifest, about gone the length of their tetber, at least they hive traversed about the extreme distance which Montreal is willing that they should go.That it may become necessary that we should agitate for a severance of the bond by which Montreal is connected with this Province is a reflection which we should not lightly dismiss.Indeed, it may cue to that, and, if it does, it is certain that the parties to the agitation will enter upon it with the intontion of succeeding.The citizens of Montreal have becn long-suffering, but there is a time when that quality will cease to hea virtue, and that time is approaching when in fact those who exhibit it and continue to do so will be criminal to themselves and thelr material interests.To-day Montreal is not only grievously and unequally taxed, but she is heavily laudicapped in lier endeavours to compete for the carrying trade of the continent.Quebec is jealous of the port of Montreal, because she has materially decreased the foreign trade of that city.She grudges every cent either from the Provincial or the 1}o- minion Treasury which is expended for the benefit of Montreal, and particularly has she complained of and vigourously opposed the outlays made by the Dominion upon channel improvements.She has failed to recognize that what ia beneficial to Montreal is beneficial to herself; for, if trade comes to Montreal, it cannot altogether pass by Quebec if she is true to herself and has the enterprise that a live city should have.On the other hand, were Montreal made a city of Ontario, the Western cities would more than they do at present realize thecommunity .of interest that exists, and with Montreal as the occan port of Ontario, would have no hesitation about making the appropriations required to enable this city to work out what is her manifest destiny, if she is not wilfully and unpatriotically hindered.There is, we repeat, a growing sentiment in favor of a change in our relations, unless something be done, and that speedily ; but so far we arc in presence of events which, if not arrested, will drive us where, perhaps, many would not go of their own free will and accord.THE GOSPEL OF ASSASSINATION.Those who have been preaching with such earnestness the new gospel, the practice of whose teachings was to bring about all the results which have been by them desiderated, have had no reason to complain that they have had no followers, or that those followers have been unwilling to do as they were commanded \u2014although some of them, fearing the consequences, have disreputably endeavoured to save their precious necks by acts of an apostate character.The revelations at the time of the Maamtrasna murders and the subsequent developments in connection with the Phoenix Park tragedy have amply demonstrated how extensive have been the connections and how \u201cadmirable,\u201d if we may use the term, the discipline of the Murder League, which commenced by maiming dumb animals, continued by popping off landlords and their agents, and is now in the zenith of the fame that has attached to it on account of the cold blooded murder of Lord Cavendish and Mr.Burke, of an endeavour to repeat the exploits of Guy Fawkes, and finally of the valourous outrage perpetrated by two of its miscreants upon a woman, and that woman one who had approved herself to be a true friend of the cause under whose banners the apostles of daggers and dynamite professed to march.A still later evidence of the diabolical singleness of purpose\u2014and that not to build up, but to destroy-\u2014of those who have banded themselves together to defy constituted authority, and wreck institutions that are cherished, is found in the evidence of an endeavour to blow up an extensive gas works in one of the most populous parts of the world\u2019s metropolis.And yet there are those who affoct to justify these things, and who do not hesitate to declare that it serves England right, that it is no more than she deserves, and that it is the only means by which the \u201cliberty\u201d that is wanted can be obtained.Already there are those who pretend that when Lady Florence Dixie made her allegations ghe was labouring under an hallucination, and that her story was but the product of a fevered brain.Were the Windsor affair an isolated case, one would be inclined to regard it as possible that there might have been some mental deception, but the fact that it is an incident in a long chain of events renders it difficult to believe other than that the emissaries of the \u201cInvincibles\u201d were put on the track of Lady Dixie, with instructions to make quick work of her, We should be exceedingly glad if it could be proved to be otherwise.THE SITUATION IN ONTARIO.a \u2014 The Toronto Telegram of last evening hints at a possible coup d'etat in Ontario, which, if attempted, will be likely to create trouble in that Province.It is admitted, even by the Conservatives, that Mr.Mowat has a majority\u2014though a small one\u2014of the people\u2019s representatives ; but, notwithstanding this fact, it is contended that he polled a minority of the votes cast at the recent elections.Our contemporary says that there are rumours to the effect that Lieutenant-Governor Robinson may, under the circumstances, see fit to withdraw his confidence from the Mowat administration.It is to be hoped that there is no solid foundation for this rumour.It will be remembered that Lieutenant-Gover- nor Letellier was dismissed by the powers at Ottawa for pursuing a somewhat similar course.In the face of their action then, they cannot now advise Governor Robimson to do that for which they so severely punished Governor Letellier.The Ontario Legislature was properly and constitutionally elected by the people.Let Mr.Mowat go before it in due time ; and if it be then seen that he has a majority of the House at his back he should be allowed to remain where he is.It will be time enough to dispense with his services when it can be clearly shown that he no longer possesses the confidence of Parliament.THE ORANGE INCORPORATION BILL.The Orange Incorporation Bill was discussed in she House of Commons yesterday, and came within an ace of being thrown out.Mr.White, of Hastings, moved that the bill be read a second time to-morrow.Mr.Coursol, seconded by Mr.Burns, moved the six montl\u2019s hoist.The amend- , went was lost ; yeas, 89; nays, 94; ox » a majority of 5 in favour of the bill, in | a House of 183 members.Hon.Mr.| Bowell was the only member of the Government who spoke on the question; while no prominent member of | the Opposition took any part in the | debate.A NEw papier-mache process for covering floors is described as follows :\u2014The floor is thoroughly cleaned.The holes and cracks are then filled with paper- putty, made by soaking newspapers ina paste madeas follows : to one pound of flour add three quarts of water and a tablespoonful of ground alum, and mix thoroughly.The flour is coated with this paste, and then a thickness of manila or hardware paper is put on.This is allowed to dry thoroughly.The manila paper is then covered with paste and a ayer of wall paper of any style or design aesired is put on, After allowing this to dry thoroughly; it is covered with two or more coats of sizing made by dissolving half a pound of white glue in twu quarts of hot water.After this is allowed to dry, the surface is given one coat of \u201chard oil-finish varnish,\u201d which can be bought already prepared.This is allowed to dry thoroughly, when the floor is ready for use.The process is represented to be durable and cheap ; and, besides taking the place of matting, carpet, oilclothe, or like covering, makes the floor airtight, and permits of its being washed.RG \u201cLa TRIBUNE\u201d sys, \u201cIt was found that Mr.Mercier, im previous sessions, was too casy-going, foo conciliatory, and too indifferent.This year, it is considered, he is too active, too vigourous; that he raises too many questions and divides the House too often.It is in reality, say they, a great mistake that he has not altogether allowed matters to pass without saying anything, that be has not shut his eyes in order that he might see nothing, that he has not been content only occasionally to open his mouth in order that he might not be too eloquent.We have reproached Mr.Mercier for not having entered into a coalition at a time when he might have prevented the evil which was anticipated and which has occurred, when he could have saved his party, at least those who deserved to be- ong to it ; but at the present time he is doing what his duty, his reputation, his honour, the interests of the Province and of his party demand.\u201d JUDGE JEFFERs, of Wheeling, Va., has decided that one quay hiss as well as applaud an actor in any place of public entertainment.The other day a person was brought before him for hissing in a theatre.The story was told, and one of the witnesses said that other persons in the audience had applauded the same performer.\u201cDid the officer arrest them ¥ asked the Judge.\u201cNo, Sir,\u201d with some surprise.\u201cDid not the applause make more noise than the hissing 77 \u201c Yes, I suppose it did.\u201d \u201c Well, I will discharge this prisoner.A man who pays his money to see a performance has the same right to express his disapproval in the customary way as he has to testify his approval.The right to applaud implies the right to hiss.You may go, Sir.\u201d The prisoner went, -\u2014\u2014, Prorrssor WIGGINs expresses the opinion that the attacks that are made upon him are chiefly instigated by the paid meteorologists in both Canada and the United States;

Jou must acquit him.As was remarked )y one of the learned _connxel in his address, yon have two stories\u2014one of which is deliberate perjury.There is no doubt about that.Either McCready and Booth have concocted a story absolutely and entirely false, or Paul hus done so.The two stories are not the same, there is no mistake about that.It is not a mere misunderstanding, itis not à question of interpretation, but it is downright wilful perjury.It now, therefore, becomes your duty to examine these two sets of testimony and to see which of them is true.Now, gentlemen, yon have heard a case in another court mew tioned, and you have heard a good deal about said interest in this cause, about its heing McCready\u2019 interest to do this and McCready\u2019s interest to do something else, but I may tell you here that the question of evidence as you will have to examine it, sitting here as a jury in a criminal court, and the question of evidence, as the Superior Court has to examine it, are nol identical.It is your duty to throw the whole weight of proof upon the Crown.They must not only prove their story, but they must prove it eyond a reasonable doubt.That is to say, that if a reasonable doubt as to the innocence of the prisoner arises in your mind, although you may suppose the weight of evidence to be rather on the other side, it would be your duty to give him the benefit of that doubt, Now, that is not the duty of the Superior Court.You have not to consider the result in the Civil Suit, 80, consequently, if such an idea comes into your mind it is not to be entertained, and I may also say your verdict should not guide the Judges of the Superior Court, or any other Judge or Court it may come before.Each J udge and each Court must judge not from rumours, nor from prejudices, from whatever source they may come, but by the rules of evidence governing the case as it is laid before them.Now, I may say that in looking into the evidence in yonr investigation, if you have any reasonable doubt as to whether McCready and Booth or the witness Paul tells the truth, the prisoner is entitled to the balance leaning to his side of the case.Now, gentlemen, 1 do not mean to say that it will come to that, there is a good deal of other evidence, and you will have to examine these two opposite stories by the light of that evidence.Now the first thing we have to do is to look at the testimony of these dople, and take first the testimony of NeCrondy.A great deal has been said about his being interested.I do not think it fair to judge of his testimony by that, the interest has now become very strong on both sides, but I do not think thas ought to weigh in your minds.The question is, are the circumstances on which McCready dwells in his evidence in chief, and in his answers in cross-examination, true ?You have to judge of the consistency or inconsistency of his whole story.Now, the first thing I may draw your attention to is that there are some striking contradictions in his statements, and also to his statements.In the first place, he does not come before us in the strongest possible position in having torn up certain notes.He says of this transaction, 1 did not want any person to know of it, and I did not want my clerks to know; I did it outside my business.It was not entered in my books.He has thus given a reason for it.Ido not say this with the object of throwing blame upon him, but that is not the strongest position to come before you, he does not come before you in as strong position as if he had come wtth all his notes, and said \u201c Although I did not let anyone else knew about them, still | kept them myself; here are the notes, and these $20,700 were swept off by regular transactiong, and these notes, the authenticity of which I ain now attacking, amounting to about $3,000, are forgeries, manufactured after the whole transaction was ended.\u201d If he had been in that position, it would have been a stronger position, but lus position is quite different.Cross-examined as to when these last transactions between him and Secath took place, he said it was on the eighth or ninth of May last year, that there was a certain note renewed then for the last time and for thirty days.Now, he was asked, \u201cdo you swear that that was the last transaction\u201d and after saying distinctly it was,\u201d when the question was put to him again by myself he said he would not swear to it.There was another portion of McCready\u2019s testimony which is rather curious.He admitted that some time in the month of June he aud the prisoner ceased to be on good terms, although previously they were on such terms that he, McCready, had given hun over and over again large amounts of paper without any security at all during two years.He was asked what brought their friendship to an end.Now, he said and.he said it most distinctly, that it was the hanging over of the notes.Paul was asked the same question and lie said it was the hanging over of the notes, but according to McCready\u2019s statement there were no notes hanging over.Hesaid that the last transaction was ou the eighth or ninth of May last, in the shape of the note at thirty days, so that the whole transaction in that case must have been cleared off by the middle of June, and there could not, if that were so, have been any notes hanging over when their friendship was broken off.If the hanging over of the notes wus really the cause of this coolness in friendship, from some time in June, it is clear that McCready is wrong in saying that the regular transactions between them in connection with this accommodation paper were cleared off at the beginning of June.1f he is not wrong it is perfectly clear that something else was the cause of the cooluess ; it is evident that that could not be the cause, if his statement is true.But it certainly was the case if Paul\u2019s account is correct and there has been no real attack on his account, I say if that account be true [and it is supported by an authenticated statement from Seath\u2019s books], it is not at all wonderful that McCready should say : \u201cI got cool because he did not pay his notes.The only obligation was that these notes should be paid off \u2014they were not paid off, and so I was annoyed at him.\u201d \u201cThat would be perfectly clear if the balance of his statement were consistent.Paul's account is quite consis tent with McCready \u2019s.Yos to his getting cool with Seath, because Seath did not pay these notes.It is a natural obligation that these accommodation notes should be paid off; and as they were not paid of McCready became cool towards him, because jf Paul's statement be correct, Seath théh owed McCready about $12,000: If Paul\u2019s account be true, McCready has given what is an incorrect account of his reason for this coolness.According to his account, McCready was annoved at Seath because he was not paying oft\u2019 these notes; therefore, these notes must have been renewed, or they would have been protested, and McCready would have bad to pay them.Then the next point which is peculiar in McCready\u2019s evidence is his statement of what occurred at the banks.We have several witnesses as to this, and their evidence 15 verv marked as to what interpretation you nay place upon it.L must state what this evidence is, because it has been given to vou in a different manner to what it was stated by the witnesses.It appears that about the 4th of September last year, there was a note at the Union Bank unpaid, which called the attention of pay it and his mater and caused Mr.Nash to ask him the question, \u201cDo you =ay that that is a forgery 7\u201d \u2014to whicli he replied, © Ask Seath,\u201d\u2014at the same time he =aid he would not pay it.McCready would not say whether it was or was not a forgery.It would seem that he (McCready) then rushed down to the Molsons bank, where he knew there were other notes, and he saw Mr.Elliott, the cashier, and Mr.Thomas, the manager, who both atfirm in the most positive manner that McCreadv- would not say they were forgeries.He was asked in his examination here it he declared that they were forgeries and he said \u201cyes.\u201d He was asked if he said this loud envugh to be heard, and he said, «I declared it loudly, so that anyone might hear me, 1f they wanted to.\u201d Mr, Thomas asked, and Mr.Elliott asked, the question; and they state that they did not get a directanswer.Now my attention was very much attracted to that.I wanted to see what it all meant, and I put the question to Mr.Elliot :\u2014 \u201c What did you understand by that; did you-understand him to mean that they were forged 2?\u201d I asked this question because it 1s important to know what impression was given by him at the time these alleged forgeries were discovered, and I wanted to find out, although he did not say in direct terms, that they were forgeries, whether he said what was tantamount to it.However, I asked Mr.Elliot the question, and he said, \u201cI was under the impression that he intended to evade the question.\u201d T then asked * What was the impression left upon your mind 2?\u201d to which Mr.Elliot answered, \u2018 He could not say other than he thought that they were forgeries.\u201d I asked Mr.Thomas, and his impression was that Seath and McCready had had so many transactions together that McCready could not remember anything about these and having got no value wanted to get oft paying.\u201cDid he say they were forgeries?\u201d I asked.Oh, he answered, my impression is, he did not not say they were forgeries, because he was not quite certain it was a forgery.McCready tells us that after he had dis- tinetly told Mr.Thomas they were forgeries, Mr.Thomas said \u201c Keep it dark, do not say anything about it, but get paid if vou can.\u201d Now I can hardly conceive that Mr.Thomas would say that.It would not ouly be a very dishonorable thing for him to do, but it would also be a very serious offence.What he really did say was something like this: Mr.Thomas was asked the question as to whether Mr.McCready ositively stated they were forgeries, but Mr.McCready did not say they were, and Thomas replied that, since he did not seem to know \u201cperhaps you will get paid if you keep quiet.If you are in such a state of confusion that you do not know whether they are forgeries or not, do not go bellowing around the country and ruining the credit of your debtor.\u201d That was a wise injunction.That is a very different story to that told us by McCready.It hasa prima faciae effect.McCready had seen the notes and he should know that they were forgeries, yet he allowed them to lay around, knowing that thev were forged.There was no reason to suppose that Mr.Thomas knew they were forgeries.In fact he distinctly denies that he was informed by McCready that they were forgeries.So you have got before you testimony showing that there are other modes of explaining this evidence than that suggested to you, namely, that he went and told these persons from the first that they were furgeries.According to their testi- mony he scems to have done nothing of the kind.There is another way to look at it which is unfavourable to Mr.McCready\u2019s testimony, and it is this, McCready and Seath had been great friends.Forgery is a very hard word to say, and it is proper for you to consider whether he hesitated to use it against his friend.The impression conveyed to Mr.Thomas\u2019 mind was that he could not say whether he had, or he had not signed it, and he (Mr.Thomas) could not say whether Mr.McCready really was in donbt as to the genuineness of the signature, or whether it was from delicacy of feeling for a former friend.What took place with Mr.Nash is certainly open to the same interpretation.Did he want Seath himself to say it was a forgery ?It is certain, however, that before Nash, he did not say it was a forgery.In reply to Mr.Nash\u2019s direct question.\u201cIs it a forgery ?\u201d he said, « Ask Seath,\u201d and Seath told me, says Nash, \u201c It is an accommodation note, and there is the beginning and end of it.\u201d Now we come to Booth\u2019s testimony, and Booth\u2019a testimony is not open so far as I can see to any such objections as these.I may also tell you that so far as I can see Ido not consider that Booth\u2019s character has been injured.I do not see why he is not to be trusted on oath.No man has ventured to swear that.The attacks on his character have been generally of an insidious character and of a kind I do not approve of.The evidence has certainly disclosed a trail of misfortune where Booth his passed, but between that and jumping to the conclusion that he is not to be believed under oath is a very great leap indeed.You have been told that he went into the employ of different commercial firms aud one after another those peo le failed among them Messrs.J.& D.feBurnev.Mr.McBurney, however, would not say that Booth was not a credible man.Booth was asked if he had been indicted.He said \u201cYes and the Grand Jury threw out the Bill.\u201d Now let me tell you that a man who 1s accused before the Grand Jury is accused in a most unfavourable way.[t is an accusation without any defence.The Grand Jury pass upon the naked accusation and when they threw out a bill they decide tliere is no foundation for the charge.Twenty-three men deliberate and decide that a man cannot and ought not be tried before twelve.So that when a man cones and says * | have been accused before the Grand Jury and the Bill was thrown out \u201d he stands before the world as if the accusation had never been entered.The accusation is thereby declared to he utterly unfounded.You have been told that Booth went into the employof Austin & Sanvelle, and that the transactions of that firm were of so disgraceful a kind that both those gentlemen fled.Booth remained and as it was supposed that he was the leading employee of the house, and was not free from guilt, proceedings were taken against him and he was subsequently discharged by the Grand Jury.Curious to say in cross-examination it turns out that he was re-employed by the creditors of the estate, if not with the approval, at least with the koowledge ot the learned counsel for the defense.I do uot know thatany- thing remains against this man.As | said before thereis a trail of misfortune where- ever he has passed but nothing can be said against him for that.We know that very able book-keepers are employed by houses in misfortune, and that being the case, it may be explamed that being an able book- kecper, people in business who may not be so accomplished are very glad to have the services of this man, and so it is that in houses that fail we \u2018ind æ very able book-keeper, there wis one question put by the defence to which I would draw attention.He was asked [did you say a certain ting co Maltby, [will refer to this evidence mn order that you may know exactly what has been said, because it has not been perfectly put before vou.He said *1 was cmploved by McBurney & Cou, a their confidental clerk and manager unde power of atterney.conversation | in my cash, and of having asked Maltby to mage fictitious entries in the books to cover these irregularities.\u201d Now, it was said that the man Booth ought to have recollected, and should have been at once able to disprove the allegation.On the question being repeated, he again said, «1 have no recollection of having been short in my cash.\u201d Then the defence produced Malthy to vsk him, but they were not allowed to put the question, and there was an end of it.Some people might presume that there was something might be proved by this witness, but let me tell you, that even if it was proved it would not be good evidence.Ît would be bad evidence.The Courts have laid \u201cdown rules for the governing of evidence, and those rules must be followed, otherwise confusion would ensue.This evidence of Maltby had no thing whatever to do with the case, and the paities were not justified in bringing him up.There is nothing brought before this Court which might indica'e a doubt of Booth\u2019s testimony.You have been told that every feature of his face shows cunning, but yom must judge for yourselves as to that.[ caunot see anything in his evidence to show this.Then again it is said the evidence of Me- Cready and Booth is all as to the declarations or admissions of the prisoner, because Booth had no knowledge of these transactions until he found out the existence of the notes himself, and until Me- Cready told him, so that Booths evidence is really of no great value in this case, except in so far as the declarations are concerned.Now.it has been said that no man, except he were insane\u2014no sane man knowing what he was doing\u2014would do and say such things as are credited to Seath by Booth and McCready.It has been said that the prisoner is a clear-headed man of business, and was not likely to act in such manner.It is for you to judge.You will see that jtie a very plausible story totell.Now we come tu other ques- tious in the evidence pointing either to the guiit or innocence of the prisoner.There is a piece of evidence that seems to me to be as stronger in favour of the prisoner as it can be.The prisoner Las come here with a written statement or account, shewing the whole of the transactions down to the very end.Ihave already remarked to you that in June, the time when McCready says he ceased to be intimate with the ; risoner, there was according to this statement y12,000 of these notes ontstanding, and Seath reduced that b the end of the year to $3,927.56.Now, if he had not done that, McCready would liave been out of pocket about $9,000 more.Here you have a perfect statement of all that has taken place, there are balances brought down and everything is shown accounting for these notes, and all he had due to McCready at the end of these transactions was a balance of $3, 927.56.That was all he owed McCready at the end of these transactions.You have that against McCready\u2019s contradie- tory story that the whole thing was wound up in the beginning of June last, and that although it was all wound up he ceased afterwards to be friendly with Seath, because he was not paying these accomino- dation notes.He says that he went away to the seaside, and that when he came back from Orchard Beach he never went to Seath\u2019s place again.It has been asked why should he have gone on giving Seath these accommodation notes?But why did he give him the first ?After having given all this accommodation paper without any security, except an occasional letter of guarantee from the prisoner to pay it, you can certainly draw no arga- ent from the circumstance that, being in, he should go on renewing it till it should he paid.Then you come down to this statement of the witness Paul.He is not attacked.No body has attempted to attack his character, and unless you believe that he has perjured himself, when he says he saw the note in question signed by McCready, you must bring in the prisoner difficult that you cannot decide which side has told the truth, you must give the prisoner the benefit of the doubt.Now we come to the one point\u2014one on which the greatest time has been speut, and that is the comparisons of writing.Comparisons of handwriting, although it is a very ancient form of proof, and is doue every day, is always a matter surrounded with great difficulty, and so great has that difficulty been deemed that the Legislature, imitating the law in England, has passed this statute.(His Honor here quoted from the statute, showing that a comparison of disputed writings is permitted to be made by witnesses, such writings to be submitted to the:Court and jury as evidence of the genuineness or falsity of the writing in dispute.) What people say about writings and the picking of them out is of very little importance.But what people say when they enter into the explanation of an account is of very great importance.Yon have abundant notes here, with his signature.here is one thing certain, and that is that McCready writes a very uneven hand.1 is perfectly clear in writing, but it is one of a man whose education has not been carried to a very high point there.He writes irregdlarly, and his signatures vary considerably as you may see.It will be for you to say whether there are any characteristics in this note to make it entirely different from any of these genuine writings.If so, it will give rise to the presumption;that it is not genuine, but if not, it will give rise to the contrary presumption that Is to say that the note is genuine.We now cotne to examine this one point\u2014one on which great care has been bestowed, and one that bears solid criticism so far as it goes, and that is the writing of the letter R It has a very great peculiarity.Tu the note said to be forged, the loop in the middle of the back line turns up, while in the original it turns down.This peculiarity exists in this note, and not in any of the others.It has been very properly said that in the hurry of examining those 300 notes, they may have only picked out those in which the loop turns down.We come next to the two dashes under the small \u201ce\u201d in \u201c McCready.There is a very curious piece of testimony there.McCready wax asked about it, and said «My two dashes incline from left to right.\u201d Theu, again, in cross-examination, he is asked, and he says \u2018\u201c The marks I put below the small \u201c6\u201d lean towards the big \u201cCC\u201d \u201c Cready.\u201d That is & sax they go from right to

any great ditference, that is I see just as great a difference m some notes of the package of genuine notes as in the other.I meün to say that as far as the education of some persons as to written characters concerned, their evidence would not be of much importance.Lt may is their evidence would be uo better than that.as innocent, and if you find the case so.of He be as strong as the old law, which admitted that peuple who had seena man write 12 vears before might give evidence, but There was oue thing that L did not agree with in the course of the address by the defence and that was the on=laught made upon scientitic testimony.Scientitic people are, in reality, charlatans.That is a very common idea.Doctors laugh at lawyers and lawyers laugh at doctors, and people say of those who have used the microscope, ¢¢ Ail this is very microscopic,\u201d and so on.But, nevertheless, there is a residue of truth in the testilnony of scientific people and as the knowledge of science increases, it may be more used.Persons who cannot write very well themselves and who give their opinions on questions of handwriting proffer the most audacions kind of cvi- dence you can imagine.While Dr.Baker Edwards has not been allowed to go into the matter very generally, he tells you a very remarkable thing which he has discovered by examination with the micrescope and remember that a man using the microscope is doing nothing more than a man wearing a pair of speetacles whew he looks at the clock.He is doing just the same as a man with a microscope.He is trying to use artificial means to make clear what is not clear to the naked eye.Skilled people who use the microscope are in the aoit of using the artificial means more than others.Dr.Edwards says, \u201cI am in the habit of using the microscope to see} things more clearly.\u201d By using the microscope you may see things thot you never saw before, and that is all.Dr.Edwards says I used this very strong magnifying glass to discover what I could not otherwise discover.He saw a remarkable peculiarity in the fact that the pen was constantly lifted from the paper and constantly put down again in the writing of that sig: nature, and in cross-examination it was shown that McCready did sometimes lift the pen, and that he did not always close the \u201c0\u201d in Robert and that he did not always make the loop in the \u201cd\u201d the same way.The remarks of the learned counsel for the defence that such testimony might be biassed in favour of the party who brought him here is unwarranted.Dr.Edwards was brought here by the Crown, and I do not see that his evidence is open to that accusation.There is one thing that I had almost furgot to mention, and it is a very important thing.Men have a very shrewd notion sometimes that they see a thing wheu they do not, and one very extraordinary thing was this that on a lot of the so-called genuine uotes being put into McCready\u2019s hands when he was under examination, he, after a most elaborate and lengthy examination, said that he did not know whether one of them bore his signature or not.I wish todraw your attention to this.How dangerous it is to say that a man is a forger simply upon a comparison of writing.To sum up ina few words, you have got before you two men who swear to the guilt of the prisoner.Those two men are McCready and his bouk- keeper, Booth.On the other hahd you have the man Paul, who makes out that Seath is not guilty, and that, there fore, there is a foul conspiracy against him.You have to look at the accounts given of these transactions by McCready, and as against those you will have to look at the accounts produced by the defence, and which nobody as attempted to throw doubt upon.Tt has not been concocted, because if it had you would have erasures in the books.There is nothing of the sort, and this account is not the only account of the transaction.There is one thing I had almost forgotten, and which was referred to by counsel on both sides and a good deal insisted on at the taking of the evidence, and that was the evidence as to the prisoners having paid notes after he knew, it was alleged, that they were forged.It was he who produced these other notes.He gave them to his lawyer to produce, and he is quite willing that they should be here in Court.If they were forgeries, he would surely have destroyed them one would think.There was no secrecy about it.After it was known to the Banks that it was questioned, after Seath is alleged to have made \u201ca clean breast of it,\u201d Tie went and paid these notes himself.Reference has been made to the interview of the 6th September where Seath is alleged to have made this declaration or proposition, \u2018\u201c Well, Bob, if I give you the money, will you draw these from the Bank ?\u201d but said McCready, \u2018\u2018 ! will do nothing at all, I will not compromise myself.\u201d That iz not a very probable story.If Seath had the money himself he had no interest in getting McCready to go with his (Seath\u2019s) money, and withdraw the notes from the bank.So there is very little in that.The character of the prisoner was also proved.Nothing was said in his favour, anymore than can be said of any other man.The advantage of bringing forward such evidence, is that until the good character is attempted to be proved by the defence, the Crown cannot enter into evidence to disprove the prisonar\u2019s character.When the witnesses brought forward by the prisoner swear generally that the man\u2019s character is good, it means that they have not heard anything to the contrary ; but it is very | important in this respect, that it opeus the door to the Crown to attack Ifis character.The prisoner\u2019s character has been brought forward, witnesses came up to support his character, and the defence has challenged the Crown to prove this man to be a bad character, or a forger.In fact the defence substantially said «\u201c We defy you to disprovethis man\u2019s character.\u201d His character 1s not of much importance as character is not attacked.Thisisa circumstance which perhaps may weigh with you in considering this evidence.It seems to me that on the whole there is no great difficulty in dealing with this case, the question is whether you can make up your mind clearly ;\u2014whether the one side1s to be believed and the other side disbelieved or whether there is so much doubt in your minds that you cannot attach full belief to either the one or the other.If you cannot be decided, the prisoner of course getx the benefit of the doubt- *l cannot say anything more on this subject that will do any good.It is a very difficult case indeed, and that will be perfectly satisfactory to your country.LIVER, KIDNEY AND BRIGHTS DISEASE.A medicine that destroys the ger or cause of Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Kidney root them out of the system, is above all price.Such} a medicine is Hop

$226,082,996 Monetary circles to-day were firm and and quiet, with a strong and confident undertone prevailing, notwithstanding the energetic efforts of the \u201cbears\u201d to the contrary.The public should be very cautious in accepting the stories so plentifully spread broadcast, by the \u201cbears\u201d as regards impending failures.Those interested in the depression of stocks will stand on small ceremony to gain their point.\u201cThe end justifies the means\u201d is the motto which they fight under, not giving a thought as to the damage their exaggerated rumours may entail on the country at large.From what we could gather to-day, we%are strengthened in our opinion expressed yesterday, that the majority of the securities have touched bottom, and that this week = promises to be a decided improvement on last.The rates for money remain unchanged at 63 @ 7 for prime mercantile paper as to name and date, and 64 for call loans as to the nature of the collateral.The market for Sterling Exchange is a shade firmer, and a small business was done at 8% for hankers 60- day bills, and 9% demand.Currency on New York 7-16 @ 4 premium.The foreign exchange market in New York is stronger under an increased demand.Consols in London are firm at 102 1-16 for money and 102 3-16 for account.United States bonds steady 43\u2019 at 1163; 5s at 1064, and American railway securities strong.Erie, 38$ ; Il.Central, 149.The money market in New York still continues dear, ranging from 11 @ 12 per cent on call loans on stock collaterals.In consequence of this stringency in money there is an almost total disinclination to buy stocks.It becomes more patent every day to the operators on Wall street that there is very little prospects at present of any large gold shipments from London, as gold eagles are selling in London ata premium, and the Bank of England keeps its rate of discount at 3 p.c.The statement of averages of the New York bankse for last week showed a loss of $3,800,000 for the six days.The banks exhibited a deficiency of over $6,700,000 in the reserves, which the law requires shall be kept equal to twenty-five per cent of the deposits.Last year for the corresponding week the banks of the city held $687,825 more than the full legal reserve.The present deficiency is attributed to the outflow of currency to the West and South which sets in every March, but which began much earlier than usual this year.There is a pretty general belief in banking and mercantile circles that money has also been locked up by speculators who desire to affect the stock market.However all this may be, it is pretty clear that the mercantile classes and not the speculators in stocks are most oppressed by the existing stringency.There was a better demand for stocks in Toronto this morning, the feeling having considerably improved on that of the past few days.The local stock market, though not particularly animated, developed more strength than the \u201cbears\u201d anticipated.There was certainly ne great desire shown by speculators to do much trading, the transactions, therefore, were light, excepting for Gas, which were dealt in to some considerable extent.Bank of Montreal opened at 199, and at the close of the morning session had advanced to 2001@ 2003, dropping back in the afternoon to 1993, buticlosing for the day firm at 200.Ontario sold

without material change from last week.Buying is still limited to the smallest possible proportions, which, combined with the rather large supplies carried, and the further weakness in wheat, tends to make the market pre-disposed to easiness.On \u2018Change the market was dull and lifeless, no business being reported.Our former quotationsare nominally unchanged as follow :\u2014 Superior Extra, per

Montreal, March 12, 1883.To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Montreal : GENTLEMEN,-\u2014I am instructed by the promoters of the ahove enterprise to request that you will kindly afford to their Engineer, Mr.F.Foster Bateman, M.C.E., an opportunity at an early a date as ma : convenient of explaining to your Council the nature and objects of their scheme, and to fully set before you the advantages which they claim will accrue to the City of Montreal from the carrying out of the same.have the honour to be, gentlemen, : Your obedient servant, R.J.HENDERSON, Secretary.Ald.Grenier moved that the communi cation be referred to the Road Committee and the City Surveyor for report, After some discussion, Ald.J.'C.Wilson moved, in amendment, seconded by Ald.Donovan, that the Council should hear Mr.Bateman on Monday afternoon next at three o\u2019clock.The amendment was carried by a vote of twenty for and four against.NOTICES OF MOTION.Ald, Jeannotte\u2014 That the minutes of every meeting of Council and of Committees be written in both French and English at the time of the employes of each department.\u201d Ald.Jeannotte\u2014 That the privileges granted to the Steam Users Insurance Company be at once withdrawn, because that company has not conformed to their own roposition, as by the report of the Fire Committee to the Corporation, dated the 4th of September, 1882.: Ald.Jeannotte\u2014That sections 27, 28, 29, 30 and 39 in by-law \u2018108, entitled a \u201c Bylaw concerning steam boilers,\u201d be repealed and that the Tuspector of Boilers inspect all boilers gratuitously, and receive a regular salary, the same as any other employee of the Corporation.Ald.Tansey\u2014For a schedule of stated meetings for standing committees of the Council for the year 1883.Ald.Fairbairn\u2014For leave to atend Bylaw No.94, especially that part relating to special taxation.Ald.Stroud\u2014That Hospital street be continued through to Notre Dame.QUESTIONS BY MEMBERS.Ald.Jeannotte, Chairman of Police, asked if the Finance Committee intended to grant any sum this year for the erection of a new police station at Chaboillez Square, which was so greatly needed.Ald.Grenier said that no appropriation could be granted for thie purpose this ear.y Ald.Donovan asked what the Finance Committee intended doing in reference to the proposed increase of the salaries of the Corporation employes.Ald.Grenier said that the Finance Committee would report on the subject as soon as possible, but he might as well say that the report of the Figance Committee would certainly be againdt \u2018any increase being made this year.The Road Committee would have to take an appropriation of $60,000 less this year, and this being the case, it could be easily seen that any general increase of salaries would be out of the uestion.But justice would, he assured them, be done to any exceptional cases.Ald.Beauchamp\u2014I would like to know from Col.Stevenson what has become of the drill shed question.; Ald.Stevenson\u2014Do you wish to know what the drill shed is ?(Loud laughter.) The drill shed, I may inform my worthy colleague, is precisely in the same place as it was this time last year.Ald.Beausobell-\u2014\u201c And in the same condition too?\u201d [Renewed laughter.) Ald.Stevenson, continuing, said that he could not positively state what the Government intended doing in the matter.The faull of no further steps being taken did uot, however, lay with the City Council, which had done all in its power in the matter, but with the Militia Department.THE AMENDMENTS TO THE CHARTER.Ald, Grenier said he had à very impori- ant matter to bring before the Council.He referred to the passing of an amendment Brown, the following resolutions :\u2014 Resolved,\u2014That this Council have learned with regret and alarm that the Commitice on Private Bills at Quebec, have adopted certain amendments to the draft of the Bill of the Corporation of Montreal, which was recently submitted to the House of Assembly, and amongst others one abolishing the Statute Labour Tax, the effect of which will be to materially modify the representation in the City Council by changing the system of voting which has\u2019 prevailed from time immemorial in our Municipal Elections.; \u2018That this question is of the highest importance connected as it is 50 intimately with the City\u2019s finances.; \u2018\u2019That in the opinion of this Council every change made in its organization without its intervention or knowledge is unconstitutional and against the principles of sound representation, and this Eounell deem it their duty to pratest with all their strength against such egislation as is sought bp be imposed upon the chief 4 City ef the Dominion without previous consultation.That these amendments, several of which are of à radical and organic character have been introduced in tho Private Bills Committee of the Legis.ative Assembly, without any previous notice to the parties interested and are therefore a serious encroachment upon the rights, privileges and franchise, with which the city of Montreal has been vested on many occasions by the Legislature of the Province.Be it therefore resolved, that the three members, whomore especially represent the city of Montreal in the House of Assembly, be requested to use their influence to have the said amendments removed from the Bill, and in case their efforts should prove unavalling that the City Attorney be and hereby is authorized to withdraw the Bill.\u201d A SCENE AMONGST THE VAITHFUL.A long, and, at certain stages, a h cated discussion ensued,on Ald.Grenier\u2019s motion.Ald.Grenier supported his motion in a few remarks, in the course of which he dwelt upon the importance of the matter, and denied the right of the Private Bills Committee and certain members of the Quebec House to interfere ir.matters especially appertaininggto the city of Montreal without consulting the city authorities.He referred to the recent passage of an amendment by the Private Bills Committee of the Quebec House abolishing the statute labour tax, and denied that this was the wish of the Council, Ald.Beausoliel differed from the re marks of Ald.Grenier, and opposed the motion., Ald.Mooney supported Ald.Grenier.Ald.Robert rose to oppose Ald.Grenier, when the latter gentleman rose to speak.Ald.Robert, in a very excited manner, rose and charged Ald.Grenier with playing him false.He said that Ald.Grenier had given his word of honour to vote at the caucus to place him on the Park Commissioners in place of Ald.Donovan and had afterwards voted against it.Ald.Grenier explained that when he had first promised to vote to place Ald.Robert on the Purk Commissioners he understood that they had a right to do so, but it was afterwards pointed out that Ald.Donovan had been appointed for three years, hence his reason for voting against it.Ald.Robert attempted to make some further remarks, but was interrupled by Ald.Beauchamp, who, in the meantime, had obtained the floor.Both members endeavoured to speak at once, and, in consequence, a glorious hubbub, intermingled with loud cries of *¢ Order, order,\u201d ensued for several minutes before order was obtained.AMENDMENTS TO MOTION.Al.Rainville said Ald.Grenier\u2019s motion wag going somewhat too far, and he moved in amendment, seconded by Ald.Jeannotte, That this Council concurs in the amendments

tax and to give to lawyers thefright to recover from the city the costs of cases in the Recorder\u2019s Court without consulting the Council of Montreal.Ald.Donovan opposed Ald.Rainville\u2019s amendment on the ground that it admitted the right of outside parties to interfere in the Council\u2019s business._ Ald.MeShane, after some further dis- cusion had taken place.moved in amendment to the amendment, seconded by Ald.Holland, \u201c T'hat this Council do not ap prove of the action of the Local Legislature and the Act passed by the Private Bills Committee, last Friday, in Quebec, relating to the annexation of municipadties und the abolishing of the Statute Labour Tax, without any vote or demand from the City Council of Montreal, it being à violation of the rights of the peoples which this Council, through the Mayor and Aldermen, represent.\u201d THE VOTE.The amendment of Ald.McShane was first put to the meeting and was lost on the following division :\u2014

and 11 against.ALBANIT'S \u2018RECEPTION.Ald.Grenier drew attention to the fact that Albani, the famous prima donna, a Canadian by birth, was about to visit Montreal, her native city, and he thought the Council should take\u2019 steps to give her a fitting reception.He suggested that the matter should be left in the hands of a Committee from the Council, the members of which might proceed to St.Albans to meet the distinguished lady.Ald.Rainville moved, seconded by Ald.J.C.Wilson, \u201cThat a public reception be tendered to Madame Gye, and that a Committee.composed of Ald.Grenier, Mount, Dubuc, Prevost, Stevenson, McShane and Beausoleil, with the mover and seconder, be appointed to make the necessary arrangements to this end.\u201d The motion was carried unanimously, with the exception of Ald.Holland, who dissented on the ground that it would constitute a precedent.On motion of Ald.Wilson the Council then adjourned.+ THE GREAT ARTISTS ON \u201c WEBER \u201d The New York Times says \u2014 \u201c As song-bird after song-bird, from the inimitable Albani to our own dear Louise shores, the last kindly adieu from the deck of the parting steamer is invariably wafted to

question.As they were liable to be called before the Magistrate to give evidence on their signature to petitions for tavern licenses, it was well for them to know what they were doing when putting their name to such a document.They actually declared that they knew the petitioner to be honest, and that the tavern or saloon mentioned was necessary in the locality.Many persons had already called upon him, the preacher, expressing their regret for having signed those petitions, the nature of which they did not know.The reverend gentleman called for the earnest co-operation of all present to help him in reducing the number of saloons and taverns in their parish, especially of those where gambling is carried on.He concluded his remarks by urging his hearers to keep away from club houses and to seek for recreation in the family circle.Missrovarn MeerinG.\u2014A largely \"attended missionary meeting was held last even'ng in the St.James Street Methodist Church, under the auspices of

to Death, COURT OF QUEENS BENCH\u2014 CROWN SIDE.MoxTrEaL, March 19.The Court of Queen's Bench, criminal side, resumed this morning at 10.30.Present\u2014Hon.Justice Ramsay.Messrs.C.P.Davidson, Q.C.and J.A.Ouimet, Q.C., M.P., for the Crown.THE LONGUE POINTE MURDER, The trial of Timothy Milloy for the murder of William Nesbitt, at Longue Pointe, was continued.The case for the Crown was declared closed, and the case for the defence opened, Narcisse Renaud was the frat witness, and testified that he was a carter, belonging to Montreal.He met the prisoner on the night of the 18th, the night before the shooting, on Notre Dame street.At his request fie drove him as far as Cavalier's Hotel.The prisoner wanted to stop there, but the proprietor would not allow him.Prisoner was quite sober.There was a dixpute between witness and prisonerabout the fare, but the witness finally left the prisoner about a quarter to three in the morning in the shed behind the schoo house and did not see him afterward.Dr.Brunel was the next witness called.Being sworn he said he was surgeon at the Notre Dame Hospital.He had frequently attendee gun-shot wounds.It was difficult to trace the direction of a bullet several hours after the wound had been received.The presence of a bag of air on the opposite side of the neck would suggest the presence of a bullet.If this bag had been incised, the bullet would have been revealed.This operation would not have been dangerous to the patient.Harnessing a horse would have a harmful effect upon aman after receiving such a wound, as perfect rest is necessary.The witness did not consider that the examination was thorough enough.The wound in the mouth was not sufficiently examined.It was alinost impossible for a bullet to strike the vertebral column and fly out of the mouth unless the mouth was wide open.The operation of opening the neck ou the opposite sid ewas not necessarily dangerous.There was more danger in leaving the bullet injthe wound than in extracting it on account of the irritation which would exist while the foreign matter remained there.The wound was not necesarilly a mortal one, as none of the vital parts were touched.The symptoms of tetanus as exhibited by the deceased were incomplete, The symptoms were rather those of trismis, a mild form of tetanus.Had the witness been called in he would not have ceased his examination until he had determined the exact location of the bullet, which was a source of constant irritation.traction of the bullet would have been an easy operation for any surgeon.r.Angns McDonald, being sworn, said he agreed with the last witness in the main point of the evidence.If the patient were in a nervous condition he would not have extracted the bullet at once.In his opinion the patient died from exhaustion conse uent on trismus.Dr.Roddick, being re-called by the defence, said he had a large experience in the treatment of gunshot wounds.Had, however, never treated an exactly similar wound in the same part, which had one or two gunshot injuries of the neek when the tissues were traversed in a somewhat similar direction.One of these cases was fatal.The others were superficjal.Dr, H.B.Craig, being sworn, said he had been practising for the past 37 years Was also Professor-ofthe practice of medicine at Victoria College.Kuew.Dr.Brunel and believed he was a competent surgeon and was one of the first among the young ractitioners.Knew Dr.Roddick slightly, ut was aware that his professional reputation was of a high character.he wound was not necessarily mortal.Adolphe Bissionnette, being sworn, said he was High Constable for the City and District of Montreal.He produced a number of papers found in the possession of the prisoner, among which were a certificate showing him to have served nineteen years in Her Majesty\u2019s 96th Regiment of Foot, to have borne a good character duriñg that period, and to be in receipt of 12d per day pension.This closed the evidence for the defence.Mr.Monk then addressed the juiy in English on behalf of the prisoner and was followed inthe French language by Mr.Corneillier on the same side.Messrs, Davidson and Ouimet having addressed the jury for the Crown, the Court adjourned for half an hour.His Honour Judge Ramsay then delivered a very exhaustive charge to the jury in both languages, in the course of his remarks reviewing in detail the whole facts of the case which he characterized as a very clear one against the prisoner at the bare GUILTY OF MURDER.His Honour concluded his charge shortly before six o\u2019clock and the jury after a very ghort deliberation returned to Court and announced a verdict of \u201c Guilty \u201d against the prisoner, who received the intelligence of his fate with the same determined a pearance as has characterized him through- ont the proceedings of his trial.SENTENCED TO DEATH.Hon.Justice Ramsay, having retired for an interval, returned to Court and proceeded, after the usual declaration had been made by the Crier,\u201d to perform the solemn task of sentencing the prisoner to death, amid the utmost silence from the large number of persons present in the Court-room, His Honour, in the course of a few remarks to the prisoner, dwelt upon the enormity of his crime, in murdering in cold blood the man against whom he had not the least provocation.He had, after a most patient trial and after an able defence, been convicted and it but remains for the Court, eoncluded his Honour, to pass sentence upon you, which was that you shall be conveyed to the common gaol for the district of Montreal, thence to be taken to the place of execution, on the 16th of April next, and hung by the head untill you are dead, and may God have mercy on your soul.; The prisouer, who displayed but little uneasiness at the sentence of the Court, room and removed to gaol.; The Court then adjourned till morning.MR.M.C.MULLAREY.- A HANDSOME PRESENTATION TO À RESPECTED CITIZEN.We are pleased to notice its object a fenilgman whom in citizens hol The ex-} was immediately taken from the Courtthe upon all times and all occasions, indications of an entente cordiale, between capital and labour, and the greater is our gratification when the exhibition of the feeling has for his fellow e highest respect.In our days when business is run so closely DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, TUESDAY, MARCH 20 reviously incurred and it is their duty to dizclinrge.Among the hundred pets ou the ncn of whom Montreal is croud is Mr.M.C.Mullarky, and that by honourable dealing with those with whom he has come in contact, he has risen to the surface there is abundant proof.And net only thi, lie has never been one to oppress or be exacting upon his employes, as subjoined interesting proceedings will show.Yesterday morning, on his return from New York, Mr.Mullarky, on entering his extensive boot and shoe establishment, was invited to the fitter\u2019s department, where he found all hands, to the number of hetween four and five hundred, assembled.Having received a very warm welcome o > Mr.Mullarky was called to the front by Mr.A.T.Keegan.those present singing,

have always cheris:ed for you th highest respect and esteem, but have been unable to express our feelings according te our desire: yet we can no longer refrain from showing In some manner our just appreciu- tion of your devotion towards us, your employees, to whom your have proved a kin\u2018! conscientious and forbearing employer, studying our interests, very often to the detriment of your owh, and ever evincing a fatherly regard in our welfare.It also affords us great pleasure and pride to be in your employ knowing that we are under the safe guidance of one who has proved himself superior to all obstacles and\u2019 who, through all the difficulties and temptations so numerous in business life, has come forth unstained and undaunted.Your \u20ac cample, it is needless to say, inspires us all to push onward and upward, because we have seen you during the universal crisis of '78-'79 re-commencing at the foot of the ladder, and to-day, through your indomitable energy and superior business ability, you stand the largest manufacturer of boots and shoes inCanada, with a name unblemished and respected by al and a trade not nierety confined to home but extending to Great Britain, the West Indies and Brazil.Without the shadow of a doubt you had not only the love and respect of those who are so fortunate as to be in your employ, but as a citizen and personal friend you are spoken of with the highest enconiums.Your generosity is known far and wide, and although your goodness is unostentatious, such generosity as yours cannot well be hidden, but is brought to light as it deservedly should ve.We cannot say that your liberality is confined to yourself alone, because in that amiable and estimable lady, your wife, you always find a ready co-operator in your benevolent acts.You are both a credit to your native land\u2014that beautiful but unhappy country, that lies three thousand miles from the fair city in which you have chosen to make your home.We sincerely hope that you will be long spared to your family and friends, and that your life will continuecas it has hitherto been\u2014 one of exemplary integrity and usefulness, and that the sun of prosperity may always shine on you and yours.In conclusion, we beg you to accept the accompanying gift, with the very best wishes of your faithful employes, trusting that the good feeling existing between us, as employer and employes, may never diminish, but, if possible, increase.We remain, ; Yours very r ctfully, Signed on behalf of your employes, ANDREW T.KEEGAN, office department; ALFRED CONTANT, Superintendent of factory; PATRICK MCCAFFREY, bottoming departmen JOHN B.PONTBRIAND, fitting department; PATRICK SMITH, sole leather department; JOSEPH GAUTHIER, cutting room; BENJAMIN LECLAIRE, finishing room, Mr.Mullarky was then prese) ted with an exceedingly handsome tea and coffee set of very elegant design (seven pieces in all) and tray.The tray bearing the following inscription :\u2014 PRESENTED TO M.C.MULLARKY, ESQ, BY HIS EMPLOYES, As a token of the high esteem and respect in which they hold him.Montreal, 17th March, 1883.Mr.Mullarky also received a remarkably chased and beautiful water pitcher of the very latest design.The whole having been obtained at the establishment of Messrs.Henry Birks & Co.in whose windows the articles will be exhilited.Accompanyin the silverware was a

replied as follows :\u2014 My DRAR FRIENDS,\u2014This kindness on your art causes me great surprise and indeed em- arassment.Absent last week in New York Ionly returned yesterday (Sunday) to receive this morning your very magnificent presentation.I heartily thank you not knowing how more adequatel ï to express my gratitude for the honour you have conferred upon me and the confidence to which you have given such generous expression.The consideration which you have given to me and minel most heartily reciprocate.1 am pleased to know from the tone of your address that although fer twenty years many of you have been connected with me as em- ployees-in my manufactory, you recognize me as having been just and true to you.It istrue that one or two strikes have oe- curred during that period, but the difficulty was not with me or with my business, rather indeed with the trade generally.I fhen opposed you on principle, in your defence, us well asin that of my own interests.While I am always ready and willing to pay as high wages as other manufacturers, you will sce that it is impossible for me to compete withthem if I eannot get my work done at at least the same prices.Tam and ever was anxious and willing to advance your interests to the utmost of my ability, in doing which I was but promoting my own, and therefore, at great personal expense I extended my trade to Great Britain and to Central and South America.If you continue as in the past honest, hardworking and industrious, we shall prosper together, if we remain united.I haveevery sympathy with the workingmen, because I am one of them, and I hope always to be regarded as such, inasmuch as that sentiment is and must be a bond to unite us together.My dear friends,\u2014It is with heartfelt thanks that accept thls magnificent presentation to myself and Mrs.Mullarky, and I hope at some future day not far distant to be able to entertain you in my new and more commodious factory.when I hope to make you a more suitableÿreply to your flattering, and, 1 am sure, cordial address.The above reply was repeated in French by Mr.Gougeon, and a very pleasant reunion was then terminated.THE LATE DR.KOLLMYER.The

while, even in the British Islands themselves, thousands had the most crude ideas as to our geography and climate, and very few indeed knew anything about our resources, or thé character and customs of our people.In those days the United States, in the opinion of many otherwise well informed persons, practically covered the whole of the continent of America that was of any value; and Canada was but a small patch of ice and snow, away up in the region of the North Pole, occupied here and there by sparse settlements of fur-clad hyperboreans, who lived on the fruits of the streams and the chase, and occasionally indulged in the pleasure of a drive behind Ixquimo dog-trains and ambling reindeers.That this is wo exaggeration can be proved by turning to the geographies that were in use in Europe less than half a century ago, or by the experience of those who can go back that far.Fortunately for Canada the great work of Confederation was undertaken ; and the result is that to-day our country is comparatively well-known throughout Europe, though there is still much to be accomplished before we can hope to compete successfully with the United States for the surplus population of Europe, and to stand abroad on anything like equal footing with our great Republican neighbor.When we compare the Canada of to-day with the Canada of twenty-five years ago, the contrast is little short of marvellous.The progress and advancement that have been made are without a parallel in the world\u2019s history; and indicate that we have within ourselves all the stamina, energy, perseverance and spirit without which no people can ever become great, without which no country can ever expect to prosper.Our territory extends over an arca of 3,600,000 square miles ; and, though our population is but five millions, it is increasing at a rate that promises to more than double itself within the next decade.The annual public revenue and expenditure reach over sixty millions of dollars.In the extent and tonnage of her mercantile marine Canada stands the fourth country in the world.Her great fisneries are second fo none; while the inland navigation system of her rivers, lakes and canals cannot be surpassed the world over.The aggregate export and import trade of the Dominion amounts to about three hundred millions of dollars, and is constantly increasing.The wealth of our grand forests is practically inex- haustable ; while the wooded lands of the east, and the grand prairies of the far west offer homes, surrounded hyall the blessings of comfort and contentment, for many millions of people.Our railways, agriculture, manufactures and general industries present abundant evidence that in several important respects we lave advanced far beyond many of the old countries of Europe ; and that within à few years, we have accomplished that which it took them centuries to achieve.That all this is true is beyond dispute ; and the figures we have given cannot be questioned.Yet, with all this; with a system of government that presents few defects ; with a history and surroundings that entitle us to rank higher, than we de, we are, afterall, as helpless and as TIME MONTREAL HERALD, AND DAILY COMMERCIAL, GAZETTE.powerless abroa« as the most insigniti- cant colony of the empire Though we possess everything that goos to make Up a nation, we have no standing as a nation, we are unknown as a nation.Though we may trade with all the world, though we have full power to make our own domestic laws, and to regulate our affairs within our own borders, we cannot talk to our next door neighbours on a simple question affecting our international commercial relations, without the consent and intervention of Downing street, three thousand miles away.Let us not be misunderstood : We are not talking politics now in the general meaning of the word: nor are we hinting at political independence in any possible way.What we are claiming, and what is claimed and desired, we fully believe, by the great majority of the people of Canada is, that we should have the right and | power, within ourselves, to negotiate treaties of a purely commercial nature with foreign countries, instead of having the work dome for us by others.We know our wants and our trade relations with our neighbours better than they can possibly be known in Downing street.It is a fact that in nearly every instance the interests of Canada have suffered when English diplomats have undertaken to act for us with the Americans ; not through any want of earnestness or honesty on the part of those who were acting as our representatives, but through a want of knowledge as to Canada\u2019s requirements, as well as through the special sharpness and information of the men with whom they were brought in contact.Canada should mo longer be treated as a child.It is absurd that a country of her extent, population, and resources, with her ships on every sea, and trade connections extending to all parts of the world, should have no standing abroad, and should be utterly powerless to enter into the most simple business treaty, without the sanction and assistance of other people.It is high time that we were placed in a different position in this respect ; a position that, without weakening the tie that binds us to the mother country, would, at the same time, give us that commercial independence and prominence abroad to which wr can fairly lay claim to be entitled.THE MONTREAL MILCH COW, La Patrie has an article called \u201c the Milch Cow,\u201d in which it applies the term, so far as the Quebec Government is concerned, to the city of Montreal.It is to this city that Mr.Wurtele turns his attention when he seeks to cover up his deficits and to comply with the demands caused by the extravagance which prevails.Mont:eal, it goes on to say, pays three-quarters of the imposts levied for the administration of\u2018 justice.It is the same with hotel licenses.To this source of revenue Montreal contributes very largely.We agree with this, and hold that we are paying out of all due proportion.Montreal hotel-keepers are discriminated against to the advantage of Quebec and the rural districts.For this there is no reason and no justification, inasmuch as the opposition is not so great as it is here, where there are too many licensed houses conducted af a greater expense than they are in the other sections to which we have referred.Our contemporary continues that for some years a tax was levied on contracts or policies of insurance.In Montreal the large insurance companies have their offices and accept considerable risks.It has been the property owners and merchants of Montreal who indirectly paid this levy up to the time when it was abolished by the highest tribunal in the Empire.But not being satisfied, and still lacking funds, Mr.Wurtele once more sought out the commercial and industrial companies, the banks and other corporations which had made Montreai the centre of their operations.This system has been followed ever since the introduction of the Federal system in Canada, and it has been Montreal, always Montreal, from which have been drawn the resources which have permitted the Provincial Government to continue to drag its-chain and to defer the day of direct taxation.Our\u2019 contemporary congratulates.Mr.McShane upon having protested against this system, and remarks that the Ministry appear to believe that Montreal resembles the inexhaustible cow that was shown at the exhibition of 1881.They bear down upon her merchants, her bankers, her manufacturers, her hotel- keepers, and even her lawyers.©\u201c Soon,\u201d it is remarked, \u201c we shall be forced seriously to consider the pleasantry of our correspondent, who expressed the idea of annexing the Island of Montreal to the Province of Ontario.Perhaps, it may be necessary to come to that to escape the exactions of the Quebec Government.\u201d The article which we have reviewed is extremely well-timed, and for our part we have reason to believe that there are many who look upon the \u2018\u201c pleasantry\u201d of the correspondent in question as a contingency, which at no remote date may have to be seriously considered.Mr.Mousseau and Mr.Wurtele have, it is manifest, about gone the length of their tetber, at least they hive traversed about the extreme distance which Montreal is willing that they should go.That it may become necessary that we should agitate for a severance of the bond by which Montreal is connected with this Province is a reflection which we should not lightly dismiss.Indeed, it may cue to that, and, if it does, it is certain that the parties to the agitation will enter upon it with the intontion of succeeding.The citizens of Montreal have becn long-suffering, but there is a time when that quality will cease to hea virtue, and that time is approaching when in fact those who exhibit it and continue to do so will be criminal to themselves and thelr material interests.To-day Montreal is not only grievously and unequally taxed, but she is heavily laudicapped in lier endeavours to compete for the carrying trade of the continent.Quebec is jealous of the port of Montreal, because she has materially decreased the foreign trade of that city.She grudges every cent either from the Provincial or the 1}o- minion Treasury which is expended for the benefit of Montreal, and particularly has she complained of and vigourously opposed the outlays made by the Dominion upon channel improvements.She has failed to recognize that what ia beneficial to Montreal is beneficial to herself; for, if trade comes to Montreal, it cannot altogether pass by Quebec if she is true to herself and has the enterprise that a live city should have.On the other hand, were Montreal made a city of Ontario, the Western cities would more than they do at present realize thecommunity .of interest that exists, and with Montreal as the occan port of Ontario, would have no hesitation about making the appropriations required to enable this city to work out what is her manifest destiny, if she is not wilfully and unpatriotically hindered.There is, we repeat, a growing sentiment in favor of a change in our relations, unless something be done, and that speedily ; but so far we arc in presence of events which, if not arrested, will drive us where, perhaps, many would not go of their own free will and accord.THE GOSPEL OF ASSASSINATION.Those who have been preaching with such earnestness the new gospel, the practice of whose teachings was to bring about all the results which have been by them desiderated, have had no reason to complain that they have had no followers, or that those followers have been unwilling to do as they were commanded \u2014although some of them, fearing the consequences, have disreputably endeavoured to save their precious necks by acts of an apostate character.The revelations at the time of the Maamtrasna murders and the subsequent developments in connection with the Phoenix Park tragedy have amply demonstrated how extensive have been the connections and how \u201cadmirable,\u201d if we may use the term, the discipline of the Murder League, which commenced by maiming dumb animals, continued by popping off landlords and their agents, and is now in the zenith of the fame that has attached to it on account of the cold blooded murder of Lord Cavendish and Mr.Burke, of an endeavour to repeat the exploits of Guy Fawkes, and finally of the valourous outrage perpetrated by two of its miscreants upon a woman, and that woman one who had approved herself to be a true friend of the cause under whose banners the apostles of daggers and dynamite professed to march.A still later evidence of the diabolical singleness of purpose\u2014and that not to build up, but to destroy-\u2014of those who have banded themselves together to defy constituted authority, and wreck institutions that are cherished, is found in the evidence of an endeavour to blow up an extensive gas works in one of the most populous parts of the world\u2019s metropolis.And yet there are those who affoct to justify these things, and who do not hesitate to declare that it serves England right, that it is no more than she deserves, and that it is the only means by which the \u201cliberty\u201d that is wanted can be obtained.Already there are those who pretend that when Lady Florence Dixie made her allegations ghe was labouring under an hallucination, and that her story was but the product of a fevered brain.Were the Windsor affair an isolated case, one would be inclined to regard it as possible that there might have been some mental deception, but the fact that it is an incident in a long chain of events renders it difficult to believe other than that the emissaries of the \u201cInvincibles\u201d were put on the track of Lady Dixie, with instructions to make quick work of her, We should be exceedingly glad if it could be proved to be otherwise.THE SITUATION IN ONTARIO.a \u2014 The Toronto Telegram of last evening hints at a possible coup d'etat in Ontario, which, if attempted, will be likely to create trouble in that Province.It is admitted, even by the Conservatives, that Mr.Mowat has a majority\u2014though a small one\u2014of the people\u2019s representatives ; but, notwithstanding this fact, it is contended that he polled a minority of the votes cast at the recent elections.Our contemporary says that there are rumours to the effect that Lieutenant-Governor Robinson may, under the circumstances, see fit to withdraw his confidence from the Mowat administration.It is to be hoped that there is no solid foundation for this rumour.It will be remembered that Lieutenant-Gover- nor Letellier was dismissed by the powers at Ottawa for pursuing a somewhat similar course.In the face of their action then, they cannot now advise Governor Robimson to do that for which they so severely punished Governor Letellier.The Ontario Legislature was properly and constitutionally elected by the people.Let Mr.Mowat go before it in due time ; and if it be then seen that he has a majority of the House at his back he should be allowed to remain where he is.It will be time enough to dispense with his services when it can be clearly shown that he no longer possesses the confidence of Parliament.THE ORANGE INCORPORATION BILL.The Orange Incorporation Bill was discussed in she House of Commons yesterday, and came within an ace of being thrown out.Mr.White, of Hastings, moved that the bill be read a second time to-morrow.Mr.Coursol, seconded by Mr.Burns, moved the six montl\u2019s hoist.The amend- , went was lost ; yeas, 89; nays, 94; ox » a majority of 5 in favour of the bill, in | a House of 183 members.Hon.Mr.| Bowell was the only member of the Government who spoke on the question; while no prominent member of | the Opposition took any part in the | debate.A NEw papier-mache process for covering floors is described as follows :\u2014The floor is thoroughly cleaned.The holes and cracks are then filled with paper- putty, made by soaking newspapers ina paste madeas follows : to one pound of flour add three quarts of water and a tablespoonful of ground alum, and mix thoroughly.The flour is coated with this paste, and then a thickness of manila or hardware paper is put on.This is allowed to dry thoroughly.The manila paper is then covered with paste and a ayer of wall paper of any style or design aesired is put on, After allowing this to dry thoroughly; it is covered with two or more coats of sizing made by dissolving half a pound of white glue in twu quarts of hot water.After this is allowed to dry, the surface is given one coat of \u201chard oil-finish varnish,\u201d which can be bought already prepared.This is allowed to dry thoroughly, when the floor is ready for use.The process is represented to be durable and cheap ; and, besides taking the place of matting, carpet, oilclothe, or like covering, makes the floor airtight, and permits of its being washed.RG \u201cLa TRIBUNE\u201d sys, \u201cIt was found that Mr.Mercier, im previous sessions, was too casy-going, foo conciliatory, and too indifferent.This year, it is considered, he is too active, too vigourous; that he raises too many questions and divides the House too often.It is in reality, say they, a great mistake that he has not altogether allowed matters to pass without saying anything, that be has not shut his eyes in order that he might see nothing, that he has not been content only occasionally to open his mouth in order that he might not be too eloquent.We have reproached Mr.Mercier for not having entered into a coalition at a time when he might have prevented the evil which was anticipated and which has occurred, when he could have saved his party, at least those who deserved to be- ong to it ;

Jou must acquit him.As was remarked )y one of the learned _connxel in his address, yon have two stories\u2014one of which is deliberate perjury.There is no doubt about that.Either McCready and Booth have concocted a story absolutely and entirely false, or Paul hus done so.The two stories are not the same, there is no mistake about that.It is not a mere misunderstanding, itis not à question of interpretation, but it is downright wilful perjury.It now, therefore, becomes your duty to examine these two sets of testimony and to see which of them is true.Now, gentlemen, yon have heard a case in another court mew tioned, and you have heard a good deal about said interest in this cause, about its heing McCready\u2019 interest to do this and McCready\u2019s interest to do something else, but I may tell you here that the question of evidence as you will have to examine it, sitting here as a jury in a criminal court, and the question of evidence, as the Superior Court has to examine it, are nol identical.It is your duty to throw the whole weight of proof upon the Crown.They must not only prove their story, but they must prove it eyond a reasonable doubt.That is to say, that if a reasonable doubt as to the innocence of the prisoner arises in your mind, although you may suppose the weight of evidence to be rather on the other side, it would be your duty to give him the benefit of that doubt, Now, that is not the duty of the Superior Court.You have not to consider the result in the Civil Suit, 80, consequently, if such an idea comes into your mind it is not to be entertained, and I may also say your verdict should not guide the Judges of the Superior Court, or any other Judge or Court it may come before.Each J udge and each Court must judge not from rumours, nor from prejudices, from whatever source they may come, but by the rules of evidence governing the case as it is laid before them.Now, I may say that in looking into the evidence in yonr investigation, if you have any reasonable doubt as to whether McCready and Booth or the witness Paul tells the truth, the prisoner is entitled to the balance leaning to his side of the case.Now, gentlemen, 1 do not mean to say that it will come to that, there is a good deal of other evidence, and you will have to examine these two opposite stories by the light of that evidence.Now the first thing we have to do is to look at the testimony of these dople, and take first the testimony of NeCrondy.A great deal has been said about his being interested.I do not think it fair to judge of his testimony by that, the interest has now become very strong on both sides, but I do not think thas ought to weigh in your minds.The question is, are the circumstances on which McCready dwells in his evidence in chief, and in his answers in cross-examination, true ?You have to judge of the consistency or inconsistency of his whole story.Now, the first thing I may draw your attention to is that there are some striking contradictions in his statements, and also to his statements.In the first place, he does not come before us in the strongest possible position in having torn up certain notes.He says of this transaction, 1 did not want any person to know of it, and I did not want my clerks to know; I did it outside my business.It was not entered in my books.He has thus given a reason for it.Ido not say this with the object of throwing blame upon him, but that is not the strongest position to come before you, he does not come before you in as strong position as if he had come wtth all his notes, and said \u201c Although I did not let anyone else knew about them, still | kept them myself; here are the notes, and these $20,700 were swept off by regular transactiong, and these notes, the authenticity of which I ain now attacking, amounting to about $3,000, are forgeries, manufactured after the whole transaction was ended.\u201d If he had been in that position, it would have been a stronger position, but lus position is quite different.Cross-examined as to when these last transactions between him and Secath took place, he said it was on the eighth or ninth of May last year, that there was a certain note renewed then for the last time and for thirty days.Now, he was asked, \u201cdo you swear that that was the last transaction\u201d and after saying distinctly it was,\u201d when the question was put to him again by myself he said he would not swear to it.There was another portion of McCready\u2019s testimony which is rather curious.He admitted that some time in the month of June he aud the prisoner ceased to be on good terms, although previously they were on such terms that he, McCready, had given hun over and over again large amounts of paper without any security at all during two years.He was asked what brought their friendship to an end.Now, he said and.he said it most distinctly, that it was the hanging over of the notes.Paul was asked the same question and lie said it was the hanging over of the notes, but according to McCready\u2019s statement there were no notes hanging over.Hesaid that the last transaction was ou the eighth or ninth of May last, in the shape of the note at thirty days, so that the whole transaction in that case must have been cleared off by the middle of June, and there could not, if that were so, have been any notes hanging over when their friendship was broken off.If the hanging over of the notes wus really the cause of this coolness in friendship, from some time in June, it is clear that McCready is wrong in saying that the regular transactions between them in connection with this accommodation paper were cleared off at the beginning of June.1f he is not wrong it is perfectly clear that something else was the cause of the cooluess ; it is evident that that could not be the cause, if his statement is true.But it certainly was the case if Paul\u2019s account is correct and there has been no real attack on his account, I say if that account be true [and it is supported by an authenticated statement from Seath\u2019s books], it is not at all wonderful that McCready should say : \u201cI got cool because he did not pay his notes.The only obligation was that these notes should be paid off \u2014they were not paid off, and so I was annoyed at him.\u201d \u201cThat would be perfectly clear if the balance of his statement were consistent.Paul's account is quite consis tent with McCready \u2019s.Yos to his getting cool with Seath, because Seath did not pay these notes.It is a natural obligation that these accommodation notes should be paid off; and as they were not paid of McCready became cool towards him, because jf Paul's statement be correct, Seath théh owed McCready about $12,000: If Paul\u2019s account be true, McCready has given what is an incorrect account of his reason for this coolness.According to his account, McCready was annoved at Seath because he was not paying oft\u2019 these notes; therefore, these notes must have been renewed, or they would have been protested, and McCready would have bad to pay them.Then the next point which is peculiar in McCready\u2019s evidence is his statement of what occurred at the banks.We have several witnesses as to this, and their evidence 15 verv marked as to what interpretation you nay place upon it.L must state what this evidence is, because it has been given to vou in a different manner to what it was stated by the witnesses.It appears that about the 4th of September last year, there was a note at the Union Bank unpaid, which called the attention of pay it and his mater and caused Mr.Nash to ask him the question, \u201cDo you =ay that that is a forgery 7\u201d \u2014to whicli he replied, © Ask Seath,\u201d\u2014at the same time he =aid he would not pay it.McCready would not say whether it was or was not a forgery.It would seem that he (McCready) then rushed down to the Molsons bank, where he knew there were other notes, and he saw Mr.Elliott, the cashier, and Mr.Thomas, the manager, who both atfirm in the most positive manner that McCreadv- would not say they were forgeries.He was asked in his examination here it he declared that they were forgeries and he said \u201cyes.\u201d He was asked if he said this loud envugh to be heard, and he said, «I declared it loudly, so that anyone might hear me, 1f they wanted to.\u201d Mr, Thomas asked, and Mr.Elliott asked, the question; and they state that they did not get a directanswer.Now my attention was very much attracted to that.I wanted to see what it all meant, and I put the question to Mr.Elliot :\u2014 \u201c What did you understand by that; did you-understand him to mean that they were forged 2?\u201d I asked this question because it 1s important to know what impression was given by him at the time these alleged forgeries were discovered, and I wanted to find out, although he did not say in direct terms, that they were forgeries, whether he said what was tantamount to it.However, I asked Mr.Elliot the question, and he said, \u201cI was under the impression that he intended to evade the question.\u201d T then asked * What was the impression left upon your mind 2?\u201d to which Mr.Elliot answered, \u2018 He could not say other than he thought that they were forgeries.\u201d I asked Mr.Thomas, and his impression was that Seath and McCready had had so many transactions together that McCready could not remember anything about these and having got no value wanted to get oft paying.\u201cDid he say they were forgeries?\u201d I asked.Oh, he answered, my impression is, he did not not say they were forgeries, because he was not quite certain it was a forgery.McCready tells us that after he had dis- tinetly told Mr.Thomas they were forgeries, Mr.Thomas said \u201c Keep it dark, do not say anything about it, but get paid if vou can.\u201d Now I can hardly conceive that Mr.Thomas would say that.It would not ouly be a very dishonorable thing for him to do, but it would also be a very serious offence.What he really did say was something like this: Mr.Thomas was asked the question as to whether Mr.McCready ositively stated they were forgeries, but Mr.McCready did not say they were, and Thomas replied that, since he did not seem to know \u201cperhaps you will get paid if you keep quiet.If you are in such a state of confusion that you do not know whether they are forgeries or not, do not go bellowing around the country and ruining the credit of your debtor.\u201d That was a wise injunction.That is a very different story to that told us by McCready.It hasa prima faciae effect.McCready had seen the notes and he should know that they were forgeries, yet he allowed them to lay around, knowing that thev were forged.There was no reason to suppose that Mr.Thomas knew they were forgeries.In fact he distinctly denies that he was informed by McCready that they were forgeries.So you have got before you testimony showing that there are other modes of explaining this evidence than that suggested to you, namely, that he went and told these persons from the first that they were furgeries.According to their testi- mony he scems to have done nothing of the kind.There is another way to look at it which is unfavourable to Mr.McCready\u2019s testimony, and it is this, McCready and Seath had been great friends.Forgery is a very hard word to say, and it is proper for you to consider whether he hesitated to use it against his friend.The impression conveyed to Mr.Thomas\u2019 mind was that he could not say whether he had, or he had not signed it, and he (Mr.Thomas) could not say whether Mr.McCready really was in donbt as to the genuineness of the signature, or whether it was from delicacy of feeling for a former friend.What took place with Mr.Nash is certainly open to the same interpretation.Did he want Seath himself to say it was a forgery ?It is certain, however, that before Nash, he did not say it was a forgery.In reply to Mr.Nash\u2019s direct question.\u201cIs it a forgery ?\u201d he said, « Ask Seath,\u201d and Seath told me, says Nash, \u201c It is an accommodation note, and there is the beginning and end of it.\u201d Now we come to Booth\u2019s testimony, and Booth\u2019a testimony is not open so far as I can see to any such objections as these.I may also tell you that so far as I can see Ido not consider that Booth\u2019s character has been injured.I do not see why he is not to be trusted on oath.No man has ventured to swear that.The attacks on his character have been generally of an insidious character and of a kind I do not approve of.The evidence has certainly disclosed a trail of misfortune where Booth his passed, but between that and jumping to the conclusion that he is not to be believed under oath is a very great leap indeed.You have been told that he went into the employ of different commercial firms aud one after another those peo le failed among them Messrs.J.& D.feBurnev.Mr.McBurney, however, would not say that Booth was not a credible man.Booth was asked if he had been indicted.He said \u201cYes and the Grand Jury threw out the Bill.\u201d Now let me tell you that a man who 1s accused before the Grand Jury is accused in a most unfavourable way.[t is an accusation without any defence.The Grand Jury pass upon the naked accusation and when they threw out a bill they decide tliere is no foundation for the charge.Twenty-three men deliberate and decide that a man cannot and ought not be tried before twelve.So that when a man cones and says * | have been accused before the Grand Jury and the Bill was thrown out \u201d he stands before the world as if the accusation had never been entered.The accusation is thereby declared to he utterly unfounded.You have been told that Booth went into the employof Austin & Sanvelle, and that the transactions of that firm were of so disgraceful a kind that both those gentlemen fled.Booth remained and as it was supposed that he was the leading employee of the house, and was not free from guilt, proceedings were taken against him and he was subsequently discharged by the Grand Jury.Curious to say in cross-examination it turns out that he was re-employed by the creditors of the estate, if not with the approval, at least with the koowledge ot the learned counsel for the defense.I do uot know thatany- thing remains against this man.As | said before thereis a trail of misfortune where- ever he has passed but nothing can be said against him for that.We know that very able book-keepers are employed by houses in misfortune, and that being the case, it may be explamed that being an able book- kecper, people in business who may not be so accomplished are very glad to have the services of this man, and so it is that in houses that fail we \u2018ind æ very able book-keeper, there wis one question put by the defence to which I would draw attention.He was asked [did you say a certain ting co Maltby, [will refer to this evidence mn order that you may know exactly what has been said, because it has not been perfectly put before vou.He said *1 was cmploved by McBurney & Cou, a their confidental clerk and manager unde power of atterney.conversation | in my cash, and of having asked Maltby to mage fictitious entries in the books to cover these irregularities.\u201d Now, it was said that the man Booth ought to have recollected, and should have been at once able to disprove the allegation.On the question being repeated, he again said, «1 have no recollection of having been short in my cash.\u201d Then the defence produced Malthy to vsk him, but they were not allowed to put the question, and there was an end of it.Some people might presume that there was something might be proved by this witness, but let me tell you, that even if it was proved it would not be good evidence.Ît would be bad evidence.The Courts have laid \u201cdown rules for the governing of evidence, and those rules must be followed, otherwise confusion would ensue.This evidence of Maltby had no thing whatever to do with the case, and the paities were not justified in bringing him up.There is nothing brought before this Court which might indica'e a doubt of Booth\u2019s testimony.You have been told that every feature of his face shows cunning, but yom must judge for yourselves as to that.[ caunot see anything in his evidence to show this.Then again it is said the evidence of Me- Cready and Booth is all as to the declarations or admissions of the prisoner, because Booth had no knowledge of these transactions until he found out the existence of the notes himself, and until Me- Cready told him, so that Booths evidence is really of no great value in this case, except in so far as the declarations are concerned.Now.it has been said that no man, except he were insane\u2014no sane man knowing what he was doing\u2014would do and say such things as are credited to Seath by Booth and McCready.It has been said that the prisoner is a clear-headed man of business, and was not likely to act in such manner.It is for you to judge.You will see that jtie a very plausible story totell.Now we come tu other ques- tious in the evidence pointing either to the guiit or innocence of the prisoner.There is a piece of evidence that seems to me to be as stronger in favour of the prisoner as it can be.The prisoner Las come here with a written statement or account, shewing the whole of the transactions down to the very end.Ihave already remarked to you that in June, the time when McCready says he ceased to be intimate with the ; risoner, there was according to this statement y12,000 of these notes ontstanding, and Seath reduced that b the end of the year to $3,927.56.Now, if he had not done that, McCready would liave been out of pocket about $9,000 more.Here you have a perfect statement of all that has taken place, there are balances brought down and everything is shown accounting for these notes, and all he had due to McCready at the end of these transactions was a balance of $3, 927.56.That was all he owed McCready at the end of these transactions.You have that against McCready\u2019s contradie- tory story that the whole thing was wound up in the beginning of June last, and that although it was all wound up he ceased afterwards to be friendly with Seath, because he was not paying these accomino- dation notes.He says that he went away to the seaside, and that when he came back from Orchard Beach he never went to Seath\u2019s place again.It has been asked why should he have gone on giving Seath these accommodation notes?But why did he give him the first ?After having given all this accommodation paper without any security, except an occasional letter of guarantee from the prisoner to pay it, you can certainly draw no arga- ent from the circumstance that, being in, he should go on renewing it till it should he paid.Then you come down to this statement of the witness Paul.He is not attacked.No body has attempted to attack his character, and unless you believe that he has perjured himself, when he says he saw the note in question signed by McCready, you must bring in the prisoner difficult that you cannot decide which side has told the truth, you must give the prisoner the benefit of the doubt.Now we come to the one point\u2014one on which the greatest time has been speut, and that is the comparisons of writing.Comparisons of handwriting, although it is a very ancient form of proof, and is doue every day, is always a matter surrounded with great difficulty, and so great has that difficulty been deemed that the Legislature, imitating the law in England, has passed this statute.(His Honor here quoted from the statute, showing that a comparison of disputed writings is permitted to be made by witnesses, such writings to be submitted to the:Court and jury as evidence of the genuineness or falsity of the writing in dispute.) What people say about writings and the picking of them out is of very little importance.But what people say when they enter into the explanation of an account is of very great importance.Yon have abundant notes here, with his signature.here is one thing certain, and that is that McCready writes a very uneven hand.1 is perfectly clear in writing, but it is one of a man whose education has not been carried to a very high point there.He writes irregdlarly, and his signatures vary considerably as you may see.It will be for you to say whether there are any characteristics in this note to make it entirely different from any of these genuine writings.If so, it will give rise to the presumption;that it is not genuine, but if not, it will give rise to the contrary presumption that Is to say that the note is genuine.We now cotne to examine this one point\u2014one on which great care has been bestowed, and one that bears solid criticism so far as it goes, and that is the writing of the letter R It has a very great peculiarity.Tu the note said to be forged, the loop in the middle of the back line turns up, while in the original it turns down.This peculiarity exists in this note, and not in any of the others.It has been very properly said that in the hurry of examining those 300 notes, they may have only picked out those in which the loop turns down.We come next to the two dashes under the small \u201ce\u201d in \u201c McCready.There is a very curious piece of testimony there.McCready wax asked about it, and said «My two dashes incline from left to right.\u201d Theu, again, in cross-examination, he is asked, and he says \u2018\u201c The marks I put below the small \u201c6\u201d lean towards the big \u201cCC\u201d \u201c Cready.\u201d That is & sax they go from right to left, which 18 exactly as ik.is in tue note said to be forged.But there is a culiarity in the note said to be forged.said I gave mine a sort of curl, in this they | are straight, that is to say the

which admitted that peuple who had seena man write 12 vears before might give evidence, but There was oue thing that L did not agree with in the course of the address by the defence and that was the on=laught made upon scientitic testimony.Scientitic people are, in reality, charlatans.That is a very common idea.Doctors laugh at lawyers and lawyers laugh at doctors, and people say of those who have used the microscope, ¢¢ Ail this is very microscopic,\u201d and so on.But, nevertheless, there is a residue of truth in the testilnony of scientific people and as the knowledge of science increases, it may be more used.Persons who cannot write very well themselves and who give their opinions on questions of handwriting proffer the most audacions kind of cvi- dence you can imagine.While Dr.Baker Edwards has not been allowed to go into the matter very generally, he tells you a very remarkable thing which he has discovered by examination with the micrescope and remember that a man using the microscope is doing nothing more than a man wearing a pair of speetacles whew he looks at the clock.He is doing just the same as a man with a microscope.He is trying to use artificial means to make clear what is not clear to the naked eye.Skilled people who use the microscope are in the aoit of using the artificial means more than others.Dr.Edwards says, \u201cI am in the habit of using the microscope to see} things more clearly.\u201d By using the microscope you may see things thot you never saw before, and that is all.Dr.Edwards says I used this very strong magnifying glass to discover what I could not otherwise discover.He saw a remarkable peculiarity in the fact that the pen was constantly lifted from the paper and constantly put down again in the writing of that sig: nature, and in cross-examination it was shown that McCready did sometimes lift the pen, and that he did not always close the \u201c0\u201d in Robert and that he did not always make the loop in the \u201cd\u201d the same way.The remarks of the learned counsel for the defence that such testimony might be biassed in favour of the party who brought him here is unwarranted.Dr.Edwards was brought here by the Crown, and I do not see that his evidence is open to that accusation.There is one thing that I had almost furgot to mention, and it is a very important thing.Men have a very shrewd notion sometimes that they see a thing wheu they do not, and one very extraordinary thing was this that on a lot of the so-called genuine uotes being put into McCready\u2019s hands when he was under examination, he, after a most elaborate and lengthy examination, said that he did not know whether one of them bore his signature or not.I wish todraw your attention to this.How dangerous it is to say that a man is a forger simply upon a comparison of writing.To sum up ina few words, you have got before you two men who swear to the guilt of the prisoner.Those two men are McCready and his bouk- keeper, Booth.On the other hahd you have the man Paul, who makes out that Seath is not guilty, and that, there fore, there is a foul conspiracy against him.You have to look at the accounts given of these transactions by McCready, and as against those you will have to look at the accounts produced by the defence, and which nobody as attempted to throw doubt upon.Tt has not been concocted, because if it had you would have erasures in the books.There is nothing of the sort, and this account is not the only account of the transaction.There is one thing I had almost forgotten, and which was referred to by counsel on both sides and a good deal insisted on at the taking of the evidence, and that was the evidence as to the prisoners having paid notes after he knew, it was alleged, that they were forged.It was he who produced these other notes.He gave them to his lawyer to produce, and he is quite willing that they should be here in Court.If they were forgeries, he would surely have destroyed them one would think.There was no secrecy about it.After it was known to the Banks that it was questioned, after Seath is alleged to have made \u201ca clean breast of it,\u201d Tie went and paid these notes himself.Reference has been made to the interview of the 6th September where Seath is alleged to have made this declaration or proposition, \u2018\u201c Well, Bob, if I give you the money, will you draw these from the Bank ?\u201d but said McCready, \u2018\u2018 ! will do nothing at all, I will not compromise myself.\u201d That iz not a very probable story.If Seath had the money himself he had no interest in getting McCready to go with his (Seath\u2019s) money, and withdraw the notes from the bank.So there is very little in that.The character of the prisoner was also proved.Nothing was said in his favour, anymore than can be said of any other man.The advantage of bringing forward such evidence, is that until the good character is attempted to be proved by the defence, the Crown cannot enter into evidence to disprove the prisonar\u2019s character.When the witnesses brought forward by the prisoner swear generally that the man\u2019s character is good, it means that they have not heard anything to the contrary ; but it is very | important in this respect, that it opeus the door to the Crown to attack Ifis character.The prisoner\u2019s character has been brought forward, witnesses came up to support his character, and the defence has challenged the Crown to prove this man to be a bad character, or a forger.In fact the defence substantially said «\u201c We defy you to disprovethis man\u2019s character.\u201d His character 1s not of much importance as character is not attacked.Thisisa circumstance which perhaps may weigh with you in considering this evidence.It seems to me that on the whole there is no great difficulty in dealing with this case, the question is whether you can make up your mind clearly ;\u2014whether the one side1s to be believed and the other side disbelieved or whether there is so much doubt in your minds that you cannot attach full belief to either the one or the other.If you cannot be decided, the prisoner of course getx the benefit of the doubt- *l cannot say anything more on this subject that will do any good.It is a very difficult case indeed, and that will be perfectly satisfactory to your country.LIVER, KIDNEY AND BRIGHTS DISEASE.A medicine that destroys the ger or cause of Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Kidney root them out of the system, is above all price.Such} a medicine is Hop
