The Court thanked the jury for theit pre- sentment; was pleased to find matters in and #round the jail and premises ina satisfactory eondition.

They are setting their new organization dence together placing it before the jury in regular order as it bore on the several counts in the charge and wound up with arcference to the statement of prisoner that he had been enticed. The man he said who could be guilty ofenticing a youngman to the commission of any suck crime does not deserve the name he had side whiskers then.

He had not been aware that any of the bridges on the Grand Trunk were so Tow as to endanger life, this is something new to him, he bad never before heard it complain- wd of and he certainly would have a copy of the presentment sent to the proper author- itics on that line. The Court then thanked the jury and dis- missed them. The Brunson case was proceeded with. Mr McGee sworn--His evidence was sim- ilar to that of Mr Farewell. Thos Hodgson recalled--but this part of the evidence was not material, GY Smith sworn--Was studying law in in ofr Cchoine's office in 1867, The document shown is in my band writ- ,, ing.

Mr Cameron said thero was no case to go ty thie jary, The Court and the crown prosccutor thought it better that it should go. Mr Cameron addressed the jury on the gravity of the crime with which the prisoner ig charged and the severity of the punish- ment which follows conviction, He did not see that the prosecutor had proved anything, he did not sce that the prosecutor Lad pre- sented anything for the consideration of the jury. The question for The deed produced is vot that on which the action was brought. Mr Cameron to the Court--I object to re- ceiving any evidence as to the forgery of a paper which is not now before the court.-- The charge is forgery and he on behalf the prisoner, wishes fo sec the paper which is said to have bzen forged. It is certainly not enough for the prosecution to present one paper here aud from it seck to establish that another paper was forged. . As he (Cameron) under- stands the witness, prisoner is charged with- forging another paper which is not here, and certainly nothing said regarding the paper before the court can have any weight in es- tablishing the charge of the forgery of a paper which is not here. He objects to the prosecution making use of sccondary cvi- dence under the circumstances, The court admits that the document claimed to be forged should be before the court. : Mr McGee proceeded with his evidence.-- Won't swear positively that prisoner is the man who came to our office to obtain a loan and calling himself John Harnden. Thos Hodgson sworn--Denies all know- ledg: of the signature of the decd. To Mr Cameron--My signature does mot at all resemble that on the deed, I nevor negotiated with anyoue as to sell- ing my land. One of my sons obtained from John Harn den a release of the land, He deeded it back to me. This was about a year and a half after the forgery. C Hodgson sworn--I am son of last wit. Tess, Believes tiie signature shown me was not that of my father. Witness went on to desciibe Hise carly acquaintance with prisoner and his knowl- edge 6f what had transpired before prisoner left, = Isaw prisoner in Cannington on Friday of last weck- I recognized him at once, He recognized mo and came forwgrd and called me by name. Prisoner appeared to be keeping house in Cannington. 1 belcive he was cmployed in the cabinet making business, . There were two constables with me, Prisoner was not arrested in his own house. His wife held McCauliffe and prisoner ran of man, he ought to be hooted out of society God help the man who is base enough t so mislead youth. » > Mr Cameron in addressing the jury sct out by referring to the gravity of the charge against the prisoner and the severity of the punishment which follows conviction. The jury has heard the cvidence and it is for them to say whether the evidence is of such a nature 'as to leave no "doubt as to the guilt of the prisoner, If there is a doubt the prisoner has a right to the benefit of that doubt, In the eye of law every man is held to be innocent - until he has been proven to be guilty. Every man by birthright; Las a perfect right to enjoy Lis freedom and noone or party have any right to deprive him of it until he forfeits it by Lis own act. The jury will see that no attempt has been made to bring forward any rebutting evidence, any proof of the inno- cence of the prisoner. Perhaps some gentle- man of the jury may say if there were any rebutting evidence it ought to have been brought forward; but such is not admissable, Certain charges are made and if the evidenee produced is sufficient to prove the charges they arc sustained, if not they fall to the ground, and all the defence doss in the matter ik to see whether the chargus are proven. With regard 10 the deed having been forg- od, the document said to have been forged has never been seen in court none of ushave scen it : the deed here presented is not the one for the forging of which the arrest was made in 1867, it is another paper altogether. The doubts of the prisoner being the party who forged the decd admitting it to be forg- ed are ny less serious. Me is prepared to admit that one's own confession is the most direct and strongest kind of evidence but then itdepends on the circumstances under which the confession is made. The jury will remember that the witness, Christopher Hodgson, remembers no part of the conver- sation between himself and prisoner except that he(prisoner)said he had forged the deed. Just as if prisoner were going to blurt out I forged your father's name to a deed, without any previous conversation on the subject.-- And if any conversation took place and if such statement we:e made in consequence inducements such statement could not be re- ceived as evidence. Besides is it at all like- 1y- that witness remembers the exact words ? No attempt has been made by the prose- and some of the gitls--Scrvant Giqls, I left Foy'sat 7,p m.
