THE JURY DELIBER. ATED IN THE ORCHARD. The Pleasant Operation of Eating Apples Served to Lighten ths Men- tal Toll of the Jurors While They Debated the Case--Court Was Meld In an Old Shanty, Where the Plain. tiff Pleaded His Own Cause. Not the least primitive things of half 'a century ago in Canada werd the courts of justice and some of the weighty deliberations therein are rath- er amusing to modern readers, how- ever serious they were to the persons involved. In 1792, Courts of Requests were established by a statute of George 111. which gave power to two or more Justices of the Peace to decide mat- ters of debt up to forty shillings. In course of time the large majority of | the commissioners proved themselves to be-,utterly. incapable of presiding over tribunals, and unworthy ot the confidence of the Government or of the people. An act was passed which abolished the Courts of Requests, and, in their stead, established what we now call Division Courts. © This act came into force in the year 1840, . and these courts (simildr to County Courts im~England) were established in On- tario, or, more properly speaking, Up per Canada, as iL was, then called, ior the proper trial of cases in which the amount? at issue did not exceed the sum of $125. They were presided OVér by & barrister, who was als Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, and generally termed "Judge," and who made the eircu:t of the aifferent town- ships in"whica the courts were held about once in every two months. These courts proved successful in preventing the ill-effects of litigation amongst the poorer settlers. Tne cases were gep- erally decided in a manner 'truly patriarchal. The presiding judge used to hear the evidence on both sides of the question, and then gave his judg ment accordingly, and this decision was arrived at more from an equitable point of view rather than strict inter pretation of the letter of the law. The cost in those days was trifling--(a pity we cannot say the same to-day)-- and the plaintiff and the defendant generally returned to their homesteads perfectly 'satisfied and happy. Below is a letter written in 1855 by {& resident of Toronto to a friend in England, giving a highly interesting | account of a visit he made to a court house situated in the backwoods about nine miles beyond a village called Keenansville, which latter place was located about twenty-five miles from the shores of Lake Simcoe. Acconm- panying this letter were some very clever pensand-ink sketches. The first illustration, entitled The Exterior of the Court House," gives a very lair idea of the public build ings in the country districts at that time«"The second illustration of "The knterior of the Court House" is cley- erly drawn and full of life, and re- minds one of some of Leech's draw- ings. The third of the illustrations, where the. jurymen have retired to deliberate in an apple orchard, strikes one to-day as being very strange and comical, especially when contrasted Wi.i our present commodious county court houses. No doubt these good men and true, after having eaten hall a dozen "Snow" apples, were the better able to distinguish good from evil. The following is a copy of the let- ter referred to: A short time ago 1 Accompanied a young barrister who was about to plead a cause before one of these courts in one of the remotesi parts of «we county of Simcoe. We set off one fine afterncon in a one- horse vehicle, technically termed a "buggy." and reached that evening a small hotel in the flourishing village of Keenansville, about five-and-twenty miles from the shores of Lake Simcoe, which said village consisted of a saw. mill, two log houses, a tavern aud a store. * Our host, a comical Irishman, who prided himself on being the foun. der of the village, alter supplying us with a capital supper, res us with beds evidently intended for short people, causing us to coil up in a manner by no means agreeable, Next morning we set off, through a beau- tiful and tolerably well-cleared coun-. try, for the court--a distance of about nine miles, over a road quite rough enough to sharpen eur appetites suf fdciently to enable us to enjoy a se- eond breakfast with the judges, who had slept the night before at the | douse of the Clark of the Court, Mr. McManus, who rejoices in the posses aion of a capital tarm and a kind and nost hdspitable wite. He had shortly defore moved from the log shanty in which the court was heid, and in #hich he had lived since he first lo- sated himself in the woods with his axe some five-and-tweniy . years ago, to & substantial brick house, the pride of Mrs. McManus' Neart. After break- fast we adjourned to the. court house; ¥hich was already filled with a crowd of plaintiffs, défendants, witnesses and | dpectators. The apartment in which @ court was held had been the prin. cipal room in the old house, and had been. divided along one side by a strong wooden bar to keep the crowd at a respectful distance from the judge and the Bar. After several small cases had been satisfactorily disposed ot* the ope in which my learned friend had been retained came on, and, as the amount at stake was considerable, the judge availed himself ol a power his Ae possesses of summoning a jury ve to take the responsibilit ol the decision off his ty y "The jury had stowed themselves in & corner of the room; the plaintiff, an artful fellow, commenced pleading Lia own ciuse, and after crossexam- ination of witnesses and a little per. jury, my friend replied in a most pow- eripd spRech, demolishing his adver. Rr} An a manuer which established his # ih that region as a lawyer and orator for the ages to some, When the cass was closed a difficulty pre- ted itself in the fact of there being no rooin to which the jury coald re- tire to consult upon their verdict. The however, soon arranged this by telling the to betake themselves to some quiet spot out of doors, and e i herg on their honor not to b to anyone until their retarn. jury a ly went out; and. after looking about them, they, with ong consent and with wonderful fore sight and sagacily, betook themselves {to thé orchard, and squatted down un- {der an apple tree to combine mastica- ition with argument. In about the {tims required to 'edt half a dozen | apples apiece, and to cram their pock- dant, the crest-fallen plaintiff apply: THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1011. . lets, they returned, and, as was fully | expected, gave & verdict for the defen. | ing for a new trial, and vowing that | | want 'of a lawyer." { The correspondent did not, relate | what became of the threatened 'appeal. ! FARMING HIS HOBBY. He Is a Gentleman Agriculturalist | 'Who Really Grows Things. | Those who are accustomed to see- ing Sir William Mulock, K.CM.G., Chief Justice of the High Court, for- | {mer Postmaster-General, surrounded | by all-the might, majesty, dominion, {and power of his lofty position should {get a glimpse of him in his private | : { Canton, 1L.O.O.F., in uniform, to capacity of gentleman farmer and lov. jer of the country beautiful to appre- | ciate another side of him.

A dozen men offered theirs be- fore he had more than cleared the | step, and from there' to Toronto he and Sir Alan Aylesworth spent the time in close comfabulation. A Gentle Idealist. {_ Sir Bandford Fleming, {LL.D., M.lnst. C.E., enlightening the thistory of the Cement Merger, has | been described as a "gentle idealist." {He is a native-born Scot from the | "Kingdom of Fife," where he was born | 84 years ago. {he learned surveying and engineering, | sciences that he' put into practice on | a large scale after he came to Canada 186 years ago. He was chief engineer {of the Northern Railway as far back {as 1857, and of the Intercolonial a | fow years later, [U.P.R., in whose servi¢e he remained till 1880. In those days he was among the best known men in Canada out- | side of political life, He also gained | an international reputation by his ad- {vorncy of Greenwich time as the {standard time of the whole { world. It is 42 years since he first | submitted to the Dominion Govern. { ment a plan for a Pacific cable, which, {in connection - with overland lines, {would complete the electric circle of {the globe on British soil. Among the | books which he has written are a | history of the Intercolonial, "Uni. {form Standard Time," 'The Prime | Meridian Question," "A Cable Across ithe Pacific." He belongs to the Brit. | ish Empire League, but politically he belongs to ne party. A Well-Liked Member. { Adam B. Crosby, who |R. L. Borden, represents the city | and county of Halifax, is one of the {few native born Irishmen in the House of Commons, and it goes with. out saying he is, therefore, one of the wittiest. Born at Belfast, Mr. Borden's running mate came to Can. ada at an early age and has been prominently identified with the busi. ness and municipal life of Halifax, {being twice mayorvof that city. Adam | Crosby is one of the men who secure {a foothold on the ladder of publie affairs by climbing the rungs of good fellowship. His personality durin the last general elections carrie Halifax for the Conservative party while their leader was stumping the country. Tt is said that Crosby knows every man, woman and child in the city of his adoption by their first names, and that as a canvasser he is unique. Be that as it may, it is eertain tha if there were a few {more Adam Crosbys in. Parliament, the proceedings would not be so uniformly dull. --The Mace in Satur. day Night. - Whaling In the Gulf.
