MRS. MIDDLI-Z’I‘ON. Mrs. 'l‘hos. Middleton on taking the stand in part stated to Mr“ Watson; " My mother was in debt. more or less. I got my share of my father's estate, as did also my sisw ter. I knew that my grandfather deeded the farm to John. Charles did not know of this for some time after, and when he found out he was n0t Very well pleased. Charles would have got the farm under the will, but it was deeded to John by the grandfather. .lohn thought his mother quite capable of handling bu- siness matters. John and Alfred got along alright, but when John did anything wrong then he would get a calling down from Alfred. I heard that Charles Alfred threatened to break the deed, but took no pro- ceedings. I married Mr. Middleton about 23 years ago, and before that' time I lived with my mother, broth- er and sister, stopping at the three places. Mother always looked after the business matters for John and they consulted together in such mat- ters. After her death John lived with Charles for a year and a half, after which he left because he was being abused by t‘harles' tongue. I know of no physical abuse; they have not lived together ever since. They are not very friendly, nor am I or my husband with Charles Al- fred, because when he abused my brother John I could not be friend- ly with him. John, 1 think. is quite capable of looking after his pro- petty. He needs advice and always looks for it, but he would not make any foolish bargains. Having no education he‘is not very bright, but is not‘silly. and he has lots to say. He looks after the chores and he. has driven the team on the plow on our farm. There is no danger of. him giving money away or being impos- ed upon. He always goes to some person with more education than he THOS. MIDDLETON. Mr. Thos. Middleton, husband of the former witness. was next quesa tioned by Mr. Watson and in part said that he was a. brother-in-law of the plaintifi'and defendant. I Work- ed four summers for the family and Mrs. Peel was the business head of the family. In 1884 there was a. di‘ vision in the family. the farm being valued at $2,800. I at the time was married to one of the daugh- ters. The two sitters got 50-ecres each for their $700 share. I bought the farm and paid Alfred $700" John was paid $200 on the mort- gage before that and also $100 while I since paid him the balance. The arrangement was discussed by the whole family and carried out. After, that Alfred and his mother did not get along well together and she ap- parently could not trust him. Al- {red and I are not good Mends. At the time of the $400 mortgage J ohnny owed me for four summer' a work.

WWW the farm in order as they thought; to, person with more education man ne has to get advice.’ To Mr. Weldon Mrs. Middleton said that her husband worked two years as a hired man and after that lived on the farm until the property was divided. Mr. Weldonâ€"“ What wages was your husband getting ‘.’ " A.-â€"“ I couldn't say. When Middleton mov- ed away he took some cows. 3. horse, some sheep, a wagon and sixty cords. 01‘ wood, all his wife's stufl‘. Mother Owed Middleton wages."

" A.â€"“ 1 think he is making more mo- ney than I am. He has no horses and nothing to pay out." JOHN H. PEEL. Mr. John H. Peel, a. cousin of the plaintin and defendant, when sworn said to Mr. Watson, John's eyesight was bad and but for that is able to care for his property and him- self, “ Alfred asked me to buy the property from John. However, John would not sell. Then Alfred said. ‘I don't care it I only could get that property so that Thos. Mid- dleton and his wife couldn't get that promrt}... I. To Mr. Weldon Mr. Peel said John was innocent, straightforward and does not think any persan would tell him a lie. “ He seemed like a child until he was 39 years of age." MRS. ELIZABETH GRAHAM. ()n being sworn the above lady stated that she knew John James Peel lor 2] years and he is quite able to take care of his property. lll'Gll PAT’I‘EX. To Mr. Watson Mr. Patten said John James was capable of looking after his property. In fact “ 1 think he is better than Alfred." vise him." This concluded the examination, Barrister Watson stating that John James Peel having already been ex- amined on previous occasions. and also by Justice Boyd, he did not think it necessary to put the defend- ant in the box. BARRISTER WELDON. Mr. Weldon in addressing Justice Boyd stated in part that John in his business affairs had bungled mat- ters. “ The defendant also made a very unfortunate marriage in 1894, and he was undoubtedly the victim of imposition. “ It was the act of a man of weak mind and in the or- dinary course of events he is tied up, and has been for eighteen vears. As long as his mother liVed he was nev- er allowed to do an) business and he was reCOgnized not to be in a sum- cient intelligent state of mind. and no better evidence could possiblv be obtained that he was of weak mind and that he could not look after his own an‘airs. He eventually went to live with his uncle John Peel, who took good care of him. Had he liv- ed this application would never have taken place. Some person always had to look after hm. In his evi- dence Dr. McAlpine stated clearly that John James Peel was of weak mind. I think that any person, whom John placed confidence in, could quite easily impose upon him. Mrs. Parker, the housekeeper, was quite intimate with the defendant, and she stated John was never like any ordinary farmer, he never tried ‘to do anything for himself. She goes ion to say that John said he had inever received anything from Mid- ‘ldleton as his share of the property, except an old grey horse. I submit ‘on the evidence that he is very sus- icefp'tible to be taken advantage 0 . To Mr. Weldon witness said that Johh worked for him spreading man- ure. but. he did not drive him to town in payment. Continuing Mr. Weldon stated that according to the evidence, men who knew the defendant well never did business with him, believing him to JUSTICE BOYD. "At this juncture Justice Boyd re- marked that he would not hear Bar- rister’ Watson's address. as he would have to delve through the“ evidence betore giving a. final decision, on‘ the cue, especially the evidence in re- to the examination of the de- lendnnt, John James Peel. in the late Judge Dean’s time, and agnln last year. be of weak mind. Once an imbecile always an imbecile, stated the Bar- rister. One witness in the case said that he had never heard the defend: ant called a sensible man until the case came up in court. Barrister Weldon laid stress on the fact that His Honor, the late Judge Dean in court, stated that a com- mittee should be appointed to look after the affairs of the defendant. Barrister Weldon claimed that when the defendant did not know who the Warden of the county was or the reeve of the township, he must ‘be very weak; also when he said Bob- caygeon was a city; that Col. Hughes was the biggest man in Can- ada, and King Edward. Premier of Canada. In such instances the defendant showed that he was not very intelligent, and not capable of conducting his own aflairs. Dr. Wood gave testimony on this case the same asbr. Clarke’s evidence in the Michael Fraser case, when he said that he was quite capable of directing his aflairs when under proper direction. The modern _ ten- dency is to disregard the evidence given by the medical profession as shown in the Michael Fraser case and other cm. “I claim that some person should be appointed to look after his Ves- tate and his affairs. If your Lord- ship should decide that no committee shall be appointed to control ‘ his afiairs. then I submit as suggested by yourself, that Middleton and the sons shall not have anything to do with his estate." ' to his business com court. . V V DID NOT GET- CHANCE. Continuing His Lordship hold ‘ in part: The school days are referred ' is a dis- John pute as to ‘ . really attended school.‘ Miner. it. is quite evident that he. ‘ ‘A slow boy, who kept much to blue . and was handicapped by his tweak eye- sight. He was of slow‘intellact so that he could not -enJoy sports. or participate in mental? other boys. and when his penny-did not help him to get, along“ h ,ot school apparently did not try to help him eithelz‘this too often being the case, where the teachers help the boy who is quick of learning but let the slow bay drag. He might hM'e developed with patience‘and pains on the part of his parents and ten- i 1 : (IOIIIK Vt “an. a kind and generous boy. . in his mother wanted him to do t his regard. ‘ ‘ THE [519011117 NATE MARRIAGE. "Then in 1894 car'ne the marriage in which he was victimized. He did not know anything about the black spot in his wife‘s life. but the ! mother again favored the bay and sanctioned the marriage. -In these very matters of marriage men are often fooled. CHANGE FOR BETTER. “In 1900 a great change took place in John. His mother died and he had to shift for himself so a great increasing change took place. he man (Fraser) was getting older all the time and in dementia cases they grow worse as the man grows older. This case is different, the boy growing better mentally as he grew into manhood. Through poor eyes and lack of knowledge he has suffered but he has kind friends. The one befriends him, he will befriend in re- turn and that is one of the good traces in his character and one of the good points in human nature. Of course he might be betrayed. CRISIS IN 1903. In 1903 there came a crisis he had trouble with his brother Charles, when John sued him forj rent and for a horse. He came be- fore the late Judge Dean and John was declared of unsound mind, but the application was never settled. No witness before me in this case has said that John is of unsound mind, so that Judge Dean's opinion is as waste paper. But the Judge asked that a committee be appoint- ed which was never done. John's mind is limited but capable of being when ‘ developed. I find that his mind is subject to development and is be- ing developed at the present time. MIND IS NOT UNSOUND. The evidence in supporting the petition comes short. I can't find that he is of unsound mind . and therefore not incapable of managing his own aflairs; he is capable of managing himself as well. COSTS ARE HEAVY. Refeering to the costs incurred in the case. which are said to be very heavy. Justice Boyd stated that the application was made under ‘ the Lunacy Act. However, he would have to confer with Justice Ridell in regard to the costs of the case. A SERIOUS MATTER. It was a. very serious matter to appoint a committee to handle the afl‘airs of another man and thus take away that man’s rights. "You will not find two men equal in capacity. Mental infirmity, says the statutes. must arrise from disease, age or oth- er causes. or from habitual drunk- enness or the use of drugs. But this man has no disease and is not a drinker. If he were and came under the description as stated in the law, then the Court steps in in mer- cy to the man.’ I cannot from the evidence submitted, step in and take the rights from this man of manag- ing his own an‘airs. Because he may be beguiled by some person is no reason why I should take away his rights. I will go throbgh‘ this mass of eVidence. including the examin- ation of the defendant some time ago and will then give my final judg: ment. while as to the costs I will consult Justice Ridell. I have pers- onally examined the defendant, and from the anSWers given and the man- ner in which they were given. I will be able to form a better opinion, af- oix thé put of chers.

He could tell money at sight as quickly as I could show it to him. and he counted the bills all without hesitation. He said his {arm was worth 82,500.

He was ignorant to a certain extent but has sufliciem comprehension to know how much. property he possesses. His nervous condition is alright and by having more responsibility placed upon him between the first and second examinâ€" ations he showed a marked improve- inent.
