Mondav it was thought he had sufficiently recovered to leave that institution and as he had no money nor friends it was considered advisable to buy him a railway ticket to Toronto, where he ;aid he wanted to go. He was taken to the station in the ambulance, and placed on the train.

A. MOORE EAST COLBORNE Presbyterians Still Seek to Recover Property From the United Church John. W. Aird, whose suit on behalf of himself and all other nonunion members of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church at Grafton, Ont., for recovery of the Church property from the United Church of Canada, was dismissed by Mr. Justice Rose on May 4th, entered an appeal at Os-goode Hall. Aird's action was directed against Wm. H. Johnston, J. Hutchinson and John Underwood, elders of the United Church in Grafton, who had taken over the church property and manse after a majority vote favoring union. His contention was that the property was deeded by the late Johin Grover to the Presbyterian Church which made the Westminster Confession of Faith the rule by which public worship and divine service is directed." and submitted that as this is not a rule of the United Church the provision of the will did not allow that church to hold it. He submits that the judge erred in holding that the property was subject to the provisions of the United Church Act and in holding that a vote by the congregation on this act was unnecessary. He also claims that His Lordship erred in holding that Aird was not a member of the Church serving the Westminster Confession of Faith" within the terms of the Grover trust deed. At the trial the judge held that the heirs of John Grover were not proven as heirs for that reason the deed was proven as valid. Aird submits that this was a surprise and -the judge should have allowed the admission of the deed as an exhibit.
