Ward is a suit arising out of the domestic dif- ference of Mr. Mrs. Ward of Cannington which in one form and another has been nature the courts for the last three or four years. Mr. Swayzie is the presentlawyer for Mrs, Ward, who on April 3rd 1894, got a decree against her husband for a weekly alimony allowance of $5. The pr 90th case disclosed the efforts made by -: number of solicitors to collect the alimony and on a small scale is another ”.larndyce v. larndyce,” and a fair ill- ustration of the prox erb that the lawyer gets the oysters and the client the ‘shells :vllb. Ward is an attractive-looking Eng- lishwoman of about 35. with danghter of 13. On March 3rd, 1891. she was mar- ried to the defendant, William Ward of Cannington, in Brock township, awidower of about 50. with a family of seven. They Cohabited for two years and then sepn- ' rated and the alimony suit was the next proceeding. Five dollars a week was the order of Chief Justice Armour. the trial judge, but none of this award has ever reached the wife. All she had out of the litigation has been the interim allowance of alimony and the advance made to her by Mr. Sway zie. A transfer by Mr. Ward to his sons of a $4,000 mortgage Security which. it Was alleged, was made to defeat the wife’s claims, has given rise to litiga- tion in a variety of forms. The alimony suit, an action to set aside the fraudulent , conveyance, garnishee proceedings, execu- tions, attachments and police court pro- ceedings for non-support are some of its phases. Acting Magistrate Kirgsford of Toronto, Very well put the situation when he committed Mr. Ward for tri+l for non-support and said that as far as he could see Mrs. Ward’s solicitors were keeping her from getting her money, and that he was sending the case to a higher court, when the rights of all the parties would be determined. Ward v. Ward and Young v. Ward will be found in the reports again and again. Lawyers have got tired of acting for Mrs. Ward and the courts have had to dectde on their rights and again the alimony and their respec- tive priorities between themselves. T. O. Chappel, Beatty, Blackstock 00., N esbitt Gait, Walter Cassels,John Mac- gregor, Charles Miller and B. E. Swayzie are some of Mrs. Ward’s lawyers. Under steps for attachment the $4.000 mortgage and interest have been secured. but only $240 in cash has so far been realized. All this anda good deal more is claimed by the lawyers, and MrsuWard might starve. In January of 1895 Mr. Swayzie appeared on the scene and he commenced by advancing Mrs. Ward $50, she being at that time without the necessities of life. Further advances between that time and June of the same year brought his ad- vances up to $143, which amount, with interest, he sought to get back from the husband. One item of $25 had a history. The lion. S. H. Blake had at one stage of the litigation been counsel in the case, and under his advice the husband and wife had for a time resumed cohabitation. Af- ter their second separation Mr. Charles Miller had seen him and explained that the proceedings to set aside the fraudulent conveyance would collapse for want of the sinews of warand Mr. Blake then. as an act of charity, gave $25 to get a copy of the notes of evidence. Miller, finding Mrs. Ward in a destitute state, gave her the $25 for maintenance, himself paying for the copy of the evidence and being ultiimtely repaid by Mr. Swayzie. An effort was made to attack the character of Mrs. Ward. She was asked by Mr. Ward’s counsel if'she had not said to her husband at the time of sbparation that she could go to Toronto and earn $5 a night by prostitution. The question was objected to, but allowed. and indignantlv denied by Mrs. Ward. The arrears of alimony amount to $490, for which execu- tions are now in the. sheriffs hands; The also was concluded and judgment reserv- F" 'i e “f ‘1 1 best, anda stave purchas- ed from him is sure to give satisfaction.

Mr. Sheldon was fishing on the lake and seeing them start out advised them strongly not to undertake to to cross the lake in their frail bark, which he told ”them, could not ride the rough water out- side the bay; but the young men seemed bound. to go, and after leaving Sight. of Mr. Sheldon have not since been seen. AS they did not return on Friday night or Saturday morning as expected by the: friends, steps were taken to hunt them up, and soon it Was discovered that their canoe had floated ashore. on Big Island, and further search being made the hat of one of them and the bag of pI‘OVlSlODB they had taken with them were also found on the beach. The canoe bears marks where the poor fellows had kicked them- selves clear of it when it upset, which it must have done almost as soon as they passed the point of the island and rtaclied rough water, had they got any disgance out in the lake the canoe Would have drift- ed down to Mmre’s Falls, but the Lot of its being caught on rlie point t f the is] md shows that they Could on;y have none a. very short distance when 'he accident occurred.

Mys'mmous ROBBERY. â€"A very strange robbery was pgrpetmted 1n tins viflage on A deputation of prominent citizens from Penetanguishene, among whom were Messrs. Nelson McCrea, J. C. Beck, G. D. Davidson, G. B. Quesnell, A. McNamara and Dr. Spohn, waited upon the provincial Secretary, Hon. E. J. Davis, on the 23rd inst. Their object was to obtain the promise of a monetary grant from the government towards building or constructing a new road across the ordnance lands situated nearly opposite the reformatory. The owner- ship of these ordnance lands, which occupy a depth of a mile from the river, has been in dispute since confederation, but recently the arbitrators gave their decision in favor of the Ontario govern- ment. At the back of these ordnance lands, in the township of Tiny, there is a large tract of unsold and unsettled lands amounting to between 6,000 and 7,000 acres, to which owing to the nature of the country between the said lands and Penetanguishene, a road has never yet been constructed. [t is claimed, how- ever, that a road could easily and cheap- ly be made through the ordnance lands, and that now when the ownership of such lands has been proven that it would be to the interest of ' the district and the province generally to have a road built at once, so that not only the ordnance lands but the large tract behind them should be thrown open for settlement. The depu- tation proposed a certain scheme and named the amount required from the government, but no decision could he arrived at. As they were unprepared to, say how much of the road they would guarantee to build with, ~the amount asked, this matter will hare A o be disT cussed by the authorities at enetang- uishene and whatever decision is arrizved at will be snbmittbd fo‘ 'th'é inixififéf. BROWNING ACCIDEng.â€"One of the sad- dest; drowning acciieuts that has occurred in [11.3 lucahty for 5 cars past happened on Gull Lake on Wednesday of last week.

It appears the cash box has been kept in a. particular drawer in a. mum upstairs; Mr. Thompson went to it about the time the three o’clock stage starts and took some money out of it. putting the box back in its usual place, andabout 31X o’clock had occasion to return to the box when it had disappen'd, N0 trace of the missing valuables has yet been obtaxued.
