BRIXG RESULTS Action was entered in the Supreme Court of Ontario Monday by John W. Alrd, on behalf of himself and all other members of the Presbyterian Church at Grafton, against William H. Johnston, J. C. Hutchinson and John Underwood. Grafton, seeking recovery of the church and manse prop-eray at that village, long known as St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. It Is expected that the action will come •before Hon. Mr. Justice Rose for hearing at the Spring Assizes of the Supreme Court, which opens at Cobourg or. April 16. The case is being watched with extreme interest throughout the Dominion, as it may have an important bearing phases of the Church Union Act. iA-t the recent session of the Ontario Legislature, application was made by 'Mr. Aird and the congregation he represents to the Private Bills Committee for legislation covering the unusual situation which has arisen in connection with the church property. In view of the fact that the matter is already before the courts, the Private Bills Committee did not report to the Eregislature on the application. The statements of claim and. defense, filed Monday, are very extensive and cover more than a dozen foolscap pages. The plaintiff, in his statement of claim, points out that the church property and manse property were conveved to the trustees of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church by John Grover, Esq.. and Hon. George Strange Boulton. It is claimed that In conformity with the provisions of the trust deed, the congregation worships under the Westminister Confession of Faith.

Palmateer does not state what the transac- deal. The two men differ as to what occurred in Montreal. The accused says that with money of his own and $3,000 supplied by Palmateer they together purchased 24 cartons, each ces of morphine, which they bag and took to the station in Montreal and there deposited it in check bex. the key being given to e accused.
