Hard times do not appear to have caused any perceptible falling off of litigation in Oraugeville .nd vicinity, judging by the iuteresti'jg and varied dishes served up at the Fall Assizes in that town. Urangeville has probably more law to the s<)iiare foot than any •ther similar town in Untario has tu the yard. Among the many mturesting cases tried last week there were two from this northern part, viz : McDon- ald vs. U'Hanley, mentioned in Inst week's Ad ranee, and the Fawcett se- duction case of Dundalk. We quote from the Advertiser's report of these cases : FOR BnBACH Ot PB0.1USK John U'Hanley, a young farmer, of Glenelg township, county uf Grey, courted his secuud cousin. Miss Mary A. McDeuald, of the same township. Mary reciprocated and on the 26th of December last the couple became en- gaged. It is at this point that their stories drift apart. Mary says that John's promise of marriage wasi uncoti- diiiunal and that it was agreed that the happy event was to take place six weeks from the date of the engagement. Act- ing upon this understanding Miss Mc- Donald purchased her matrimonial outtii and willed fur the coming uf the biido- jtronin. But J>ihn ta'-ried. He is a ddvout member uf the Uoiuan Catliolic church and, when he propused to marry Mary, he says he tenderly told hur that the coiisunuualioii of the mania^'u depended entirely upnn the sanctiun uf the church, which. It appears, does not as a rule ap- prove of the marriage of cousins. Ac- cordingly, U'Hunley set out to ascertain whero ho was at in this connection. His parents told him that he couldn't marry his couiiiii Mary and the parish priest concurred in this view. U llanley, thore- foro, decided to abandon his malritnunial ambitioiifi so far as Miss iVlcDoiuld was Cfiicerned. Ho continued to viuit the jLung lad)', however, during the fallow- iu!^ month but never hinted of any change in his plan.?. Two weeks before the date which she alleges was fixed for the marriage O'Hanlfy paid his last visit to Miss McDonald and then suddenly cca.<<ed his attentions. She mot him at a dance afterwards and he was still silent as a SjihiiM. Nuw Mary is an essential y practical maiden, and, although she, too, is a good Catholic, Rhe doesn't believe in the church iiiterferving in her little love af- fairs. So wh'-n her tickle lover faltered in his devotion she hastened to the ueighboring villaKO of Markdale and consulted Lawyer Lucas. Hs wrote a letter to O'Banley, who, in his turn, went to the parish priest for advice. The priest, Father Hawk, wont with O'Hanley to see Miss McDonald au4 'uld the young lady that tite relatioimhip was distant enough to allow of the marriage taking place under a dispensation. But O'Hanley evineea no desire to take ad- vantage of this privilege and the wedding w^ evideutly aa far o& •» erer. Theu Mary sued John for damage* f«r breach of premise. At the trial on Monday Miss McDon- ald did not prove a model witness, even her own cuunsel, Mr. Lucas, failing to extract much informatinii from her. She told Mr. McK»y, of Owen Sound, who appeared for the defendant, that she was 23 years of age and that O'Hanley was the owner of a farm that ww worth about fflOO. O'Hai.ley himself admitted the promise of marriage but claimed ihat it was conditienal upnn the consent of the church. He said the priest told Mits McDonald in his presanco that they were too closely related to" get married. O'Hanley admitted, however, that bis own sister had married her cousin. Judge MoMahon, who is himself a Roman Catholic, charti:ed strongly in favor of the plaintiff and" in half an hour's time the jury returned with a verdict of |200 in her favor. THK PAWCKTT CA8B The Grand jury tound a true bill against Alex. Fawnett, of Dundalk, fur the seduction of Margaret Black, a 16- year-old ^drl of Melancthon township, and the trial of the accused was com nienced on Tuesday and concluded yes- terday. Mr. G. G. 8. Lind»ay, of Tor- onto, was the Crown prosecutor, Messrs. Myers and Uushson appearing for the defence. The story of the seduction as told* by the prosecutrix and by other witnesses was to the effect that Fawcett had paid Miss Black consider- able attention, passing himself off as an unmarried man and promising to marry her, and hid finally accomplished her ruin. As a nutter of fact, Fawcett is married ana the father of two children. He went into the witness-box in his own defence and denied any iinprsper connection with Miss Black, who, he alleged, had herself invited familiarity by immodest conduct on mere than eno occasion. Mr. Lindsay's cress examin- ation of Fawcett was the feature of the trial. Judge McMahon granted a re- serve case un two points at the request of the accused's counsel and charged against the prisjner. The jury was out about three hour, and returned with a verdict of guiltys The judne sentenced Fawcett to one year's imprisonment in the Central prison at hard labor. tar A despatch from Owen Sonnd dated Monday says : William Smith, Alias Johnston, only a few weeks ago releassd from the Central Prisen, Toronto, came up this morning before Judge Creasor for trial upon a charge of burglary and was sentenced to five years in Kingston Penitentiary. Smith i« a well known criminal character, and it is generally conceded 'that he fnlly deserved the punishment now given hiiu. Theoffence of which he was eharged was that of entering the residence of Father F. X. Grannotier of St. Mary's R. C. Church he-e a few niuhts aijo and carrying off with him a demijohn uf sacramental wins. In the spring of 1805 Smith was cauiiht red handed at midnigl.t ransf c' • ing the residence of B. Allan, Division Court Clerk, and on hi* arrest it was dis- covered that the clothing he had upon him was part of what had been stulen (rom the gsnts' furnishing establishment ofT. W. Douglas a few nights before. Of these offences he was proven guilty and sentenced to 18 months in the Central Prison, which sentonce recently Hxpired, and immediately on regainin>; his liberty he seems to have ro engageil himself at his old profession with the above result.
