Cyrus Kennedy, alias Remsden, was sentenced by Judge Chadwick to three vears at Kingston for the abduction of a girl under sixteen from her } grandmother at Rockwood. - The judge, in passing sentence, said the offence he had committed was ' a most serious one and he knew that when he was taking . the girl away from her friends he was doing wrong. That was shown by the fact that, in place of his taking her from Rock: wood station, he drove to, another station to conceal his movements. There was no excuse whatever for his conduct. Although the girl was will- ing herself, - as she appeared to be, that did not excuse him. He had taken her away to join a disreputable affair and lead a life of shame. Medi- cine shows were mean affairs. He had also kept her away and | her whereabouts was kept concealed hy getting her to write false letters un der an assumed name. Such shows | should net be tolerated and the pris oner and those like him should be taught a lésson. The punishment in his case should be severe. The full penalty for his crime was five years in the penitentiary. His case might have heen worse, true, but, on en- quiry, it was found that his character was bad. His sentence would be three years in the penitentiary. THE CZAR"S LIFE. .
