During the pm Week or have the name of the Toronto Commission House Company has occupied a. prominent position in the reading matter which‘finds .1 place under the head of “ Police C‘onrt News." \Volf Simon, one of the directors of the Company, recently answered two charges, one for perjury and one for larceny, preferred by Samuel George Ginncr, a fellow-director. From hints (ll-op- ped by counsel during the progress of these trials at the police court, it became apparent that there was something “ crooked" at the bottom of the concern. Enquiries made show that the whole «(fair was a “ bumble" speculation. got up by men as devoid of honour as they were of that useful commod- ity, cosh. THE msn. 0n the 27th of May the following persons met together and organized the Toronto Commission House Company :â€"â€" Samuel George Ginner. lVolf Simon, Josiah Dar- lington,John Potter and William Darlingtcn. The moving spirit in the scheme appeared to be Ginner, who held out bright hopes of untold wealth being rapidly accumulated. In fact, when the salary list was struck, the directms and officers already felt themselVes growmg rich, and were h ppy. First came the president Josiah Darlington. with 3|,500 per annum, while John Potter, as vice-presâ€" ident was to receive the modest sum of $1,000 for his services. “’0“ Simon was required to fill the trustivorthy position of inspector of merchandise, for which he would be paid $1,200. The future business was no doubt expected to be heavy, sn-l would often re- quire another inspector of merchandise, so Win. Darlington was awarded the position. coupled with that of shipping clerk. For this he was to receive at least " a fair living salary” of $800 per annum. Ginner provid- ed for himself as managing director at a salary of SlUO per month. to be paid weekly. Everything being satisfactorily arranged in reference to the remuneration, the next move to be made was to procure the whore- withal to remnncratc each other. The for- tile brains of the oilicers and directors soon concocted one. A joint stock company, with a capital of $100,000. met With approv- al, for it sounded well. Shares to the numb- er oi 2F .00 were to be issued audput on the market at a fare price of $5 ear-h. '(‘vinucr who had a small commission business, was to be handed $50,000 Worth of shares for his good will in the concern. The under- standing arrived at was that this $50,000 was to be put forward as a “blind" in the shape of paid-up capital, and as soon as the money could be realized on the sluires, it was to be divided up amongst the directors. This also was favourably received, and the next step taken Was to apply to the Ontario Legislature for incorporation under the “THERE’S MILLIONS IN IT I” A VERY YOUNG PI‘IRENOLIGIST. “’hen to the flowus so beautiful The Father gave n name. Back came :1 little blue-eyed one (All timidly it came}, And standing at its Father’s feet And gazing in His facq It, said. in lnw and trembling tones‘; “ Dear God, the nmne ‘thou gn’vest me, Alas ! leyc fnrgot.” Kindly the Fa'FIxér Ioo'ked‘h'im t‘lown And said: “ Furgct-meqmt.” “ Pro Bcno Publico.” A HA [’1’ Y CONCEIT. gouty. EMILY ‘CAR'I'DR. Joint Stock Companies’ Act. In the meantime shares Were printed and a “ responsible” man Was shod to put his name down for $2, 500 worth. merely to give character and tone to the undertaking. This was done, the “reSponsihle" man being told ’that the shares ’would be cancelled as soon us a charter of incorporation was procurred, and that 'he Would 'he handsomely treated for the use at his name. 'Ginner resigned his position as managing director and accept- ‘ed that of travelling agent, at the same sal- ary, with all expenses paid. THE TOTTER. The travelling agent went skirmishing in ’country places for victims. in the shape of shippers of produce, etc. Butter, eggs,pork end such like stufi‘, were sent in and sold. "and the money was consumed in paying sal- ‘sries and expenses. Thirty days drafts and ‘notes were given to the owners of the goods and they hold them yet, although twice thirty days have expired. Simon either be- came convinced that something was going Wrong, or that he was not getting share for share of the spoils. Ho commenced to get noisy, and to look upon his co-directors as rogues. The “ responsible" man also com- menced to feel uneasy in his mind about the there: he had purchased. just to oblige the promoters. He consulted a lawyer. who told him that should the airy company col lsnse after they had receiVod their charter, the creditors would hold him responsible to j the value of the shares he had signed for. I This news was not comforting. and the "re- l sponsible” man set about undoing the e‘vil l he had done himself. THE FALL. One half day only remained to the “re- sponsible" man to have the application "for i the charter withdrsWn. Finding that Sim )n l was growing cold tofimrds the scheme he in. duced that person to accompany him to the Parliament buildings, where Simon with- drew his name from the !application. This wss the finishing stroke, and the Toronto Commission House Company Vanished into the substance from which it emanated-air. Simon then proceeeded to the warehouse of' the now defunct company. on Front street. threw the ofiicers and directors into the street, and put the key of the building in his pocket. The remaining stock was sold, and ‘the money receiVed Was paid, always less commission and expo-uses, to the consignors. Ginner became Wrathy at the turn of nflairs and had Simon arrested on a charge of per- jury. This case Was dismissed by the mag- istrate before a plea Was entered. The Pres' ident then had a warrant issued against Simon, charging him with larceny. Ginner was about to be called as a witness for the prosecution, but Was not allowed that priv- ilege. While the case was in progress he was arrested by a constable from ‘Voodville and taken to that place to answer several charges against him of obtaining goods un- der false. pretences. Simon on the larceny case. was discharged. Further actions against the travelling agents and directors are expected, but one thing is certain, the plaintiffs will. at the conclusion, he minus law costs, as well as the amounts at issue. The late president has gone back to the business he resigned to assume controll of . the vast affairs of the company, viz., i peddling through the streets small wares, lsnch as towellinqs, hendkerchiefs, combs, etc. A coal but daring burglary was perpetrat- ed on the residence of James Squelch, Esq., Merchant.
