His address was de livered under the heading of "A Glimpse of the Past," and was listen- ed to with a great deal of pleasure, by all who were present. Dean Ellis presided and introduced the speaker, but remarked that Col Smith needed no introduction to a Kingston audience, If he had to We "one of the most genial and kind- hearted men." In the forepart of his address, the speaker referred, in an interesting liamentary service of old Canada. He entered into the service on May lst, 1559, and at that time, the seat government was in Toronto. Reference was made to the government then in power, the government having assum- ed power on Aagutt 6th, of the pre- vious year. lt was composed of the following : For Lower Capada--Hon. G. E. Car- tier, premier and attorrey-general, east; Hon. A. T. Galt, inspeetor-gene ral, Hon. N. F, Belleau, speaker, legis- Intive council, L.C.;. Hon. V. Si- eotte, minister of public works; Hon, Charles 'Alleyne, provineial secretary For Upper Canada-~Hon. J. A. M: donald, attorney-general west; Hon. P. M. Van Koughnet, commissioner of crown lands; Hon. Sydney Smith, postmaster-general; Hon. John, Ross, president of the council, and Hon. George Sherwood, receiver-general. +"Everyone of these gentlemen rose to positions of honor in the service of the country," added the speaker. "The names of Sir John Maedonald, Sir George Etienne Cartier and Sir Alex: ander Galt, were mm their time and later, household words in Canada. There was a legislative council of fifty- four members, of whom twenty-four were elective; twelve of these came from each of the {two provinces, Upper and Lower Canada. The legislative as- sembly consisted of 150 members, and the speaker's father was speaker of what was then as now, termed the lower house. The speaker said he was struck with the general good style amd old-fashioned courtesy of both houses, as well as the excellent tone, and the almost total absence of personal re- ferentes. The legislators, were men of good breeding and polite manners, and the speaker said that he felt that when any politician aimed at becom- ing a statesman, he could not begin better than by being a gentleman. The speaker told of one of his earliest experiences which was at a ball given at Government House, then occupied by His Excellency Sir Edmund Head, who, in 18564, had been appointed goverpor-general of Canada. Reference was made to the orders received to remove to Quebee, where the first session opened Feb. 28th, 1860. Reference was also made to the visit of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, in August, 1860, when his father and Sir Narcisse Belleau were knighted. At a dinner parly the speaker . was presented to his roya highness. Lord Monek general who was the first governor: occupied Rideau Hall when the seat of government was fixed ap Ottawa in. 1867, and the speaker had vivid recollections of do- ing duty in an old-fashioned sentry box near the front door during the first Fenian Raid, being at that time a private jn the Civil Service Rifle Corps. The speaker referred to his meeting Thomas D'Arcy McGee, whom he greatly admired for his eloquence and genuine Irish humor. In April, 1868, he had walked home with D;- Arcy MoGee, and learned later that they had been followed by those who on the fcflowing night shot and kill: ed McGee. The speaker was present at the execution'of Whelan, convicted of the murder, and recalled that he jail yard was lined with troops and that each man carried a proper sup- ply of ball cartridges, but the scene was quiet and solemn. It was in 18372 that Lieut.-Col. Smith became acting sergeant-at- arms in the house of commons and of those in the chamber at that time but one remained at the present time, in the person of lon. John Hag- gart, now a senior member of the house. The speaker, in concluding his fine address of reminiscences of parliament, made these references: "The most scene | have ever witnessed in the house of commons, was on May 10th, 1878, such being the last day of the second parliament. Utter choas and confusion held high carnival. Leading men on both sides used language which I do not care to repeat, while eves flashed and fists were clinched, and front ranks pressed closer to each other.

The evidence of the | witnesses was taken. William Trous- daie, son of the accused was the first called. He swore that he never saw his father intoxicated. He was in the habit of taking wine out from the ¢ity on certain occasions, but never gave his father any. Edward Martin, of Sydenham, swore that he saw Mr. Trousdale on April 22nd and also saw him on the 24th and thought from his looks that he bad been drinking something, and went with him to the hotel and had a cigar, but did not smell anything off his breath. He also swore that he {saw him before in a funny condition, {but would not swear he was drunk. When cross-examined by Mr. Riguey, witness stated that he did not notice anvthing wrong with Mr. Trousdale until he went into the hotel there Mr. Trousdale bought a for him. He also stated that on turday he asked by Mr. dale where he could. give him a of "something."" What he wanted did not ask. ' George Purdy, another resident of Sydenham, tgstified that he was em ployed as bar tender in the hotel, and was there when the accused came in, wd thought he had been drinking He saw drink some lemon sour and wine, but nothing else When cross-examined by Mr. Rigney, states that he woyld Mr. Trousdale was intoxi cated or he would not swear that was not. Mr. Moreland, license inspector, sta ted that the new law came in force last May and all that he knew was that he heard that the accused was drunk, but he did not see him. The new act, Mr. Rigney said, clear ly stated that a man must be found drunk on the streets or in a public place, and he did not think that there was any evidence to show that Mr. Trousdale was causing any disturb- ance. ; C. R. Webster who appeared for the prosecution, I that the evidence of Messrs. Martin and Purdy went to show that the man was drunk. The magistrate stated that the purpose of this court was not to prosecute Mr, Trousdale, but was for the purpose of finding out where he got the liquor. The accnsed was found guilty of drunkenness, and fined $20 and costs, or thirty days in jail. | at | morning, before and Czar Sa Trous drop he was him some witness swear that not he BROCK STREET METHODIST.
