After they had didposed of 'this ease th were to visit the various public insti- tutions im the city, with the exception of the penitentiary and Rockwood asy- Tum. ' The jury were only out about five minutes when they brought in a true bill against the priconer, James Young, for committing an assault on Guard William McDonald. The grand jury then retired to pay their visits to the different institutions, The: first case called was Johnson vs. Johnson. J. L. Whiting for the plaintif and Mowat for the defendant. This case was brought hy Wesley Johnson, against his brother, Henry Johnszon and his wife to get possession of part of lot 25, in the tenth concession of Loughboro. This land the defendant claims was given to him and his wife by his father, Lyman Johnson, since deceased, in the year 1879. The plain- tiff also claimed the land as a gift from his father. 'This case has been before the court. three times before. Under cross-examination by Mr. Whiting an interesting passage oc curred between the lawyer and the witness, Mrs. Henry Johnson, wile of defendant, who was confronted with her evidence taken at the time of examination for discovery, and was surprised at one or two statements that she had sworn to. "How long after you moved your new house did you have mrt child," asked Mr. Whiting. 'ft had it before we moved into the house," replied: the witness, after some hesitation. "Then how long was it after that you haa the twins 7" asked lawyer. "None of your business," replied Mrs. "Johnson, in an indignant tone. "None of your business," replied counsel. "Was it a year after?" "You would not expect them that soon, would you?" enquired the wit- ness. "He has had vefy little experience in that line," said Judge Price. "I should think so by his remarks," said the witness, and the matter was dropped. Arter hearing the evidénce the judge gave a verdict for the plaintiff, The next case on the blotter was Craig vs. Mallet. This was an ac- tion brought by John Craig, con- ductor on the Kingston and Pembroke railway to recover a boat house at Sharbot Lake from Lelia Mallet. C. Webster appeared for the plaintiff and T. Rigney for the defendant. The case was enlarged for a day as counsel for the defence had to leave on Tuesday night for Broek- ville. .
