reer BERRY, APRIL 15, 1880. Rubbish. the elections in Dritaln tro spec ndents to Urit sheets o Dogltming to sling their ribiish. One of them took the trouble to tally a special 'message to the Toronto Globe of Monday, ath Inst, of which the following trash Jorma a pat : «A Baden letter describes the Queen as ral against Beaconsfield, alleging d ed her respecting the real feel- fng of the country, and alienated the most sortion of her dominions," We very much donbt if there are a score "of men within the dominion who believe any such trash. "The Queen exasperated'-- Blow ye winds! Who discovered that «the Qacen was exasperated?' Her Majesty would likely be telling this special corres- pondent all about how she felt. Shame! Shame! ' Keep the name of our noble Queen out of thecommon tattle. England's Queen t uxasperated" at an old, faithful and valued servant because unstable public sympathy £ wr the moment turnad against him! Very 1 kely indeed! And were it possible that she could forget the valuable services of a trusted adviser and get "exasperated" over 1, who was to know of it? Will they at- tiibute to the worthy Sovercign of such a realm a weakness we would deplore in any woman : first to get «oxasperat+d" without cause and then to have the indiscretion to exhibit this "exa:piration" to the public gaze. Ifsuch is the use the victors mean to make of the victory the sooner it is roversed the better will it be for all. e---- Accommodation to Far®ers. We are much pleased to fiodjthat Mr. D. Urquhart, who may emphatically be called the tarmers' friend,as far at least as concerns a full supply of all the best machines, Imple- ments; Repairs &c &c. wanted on a farm-- lias opened a depot in Davis' Llock, Perry st, Port Perry, where the farmimg community muy be supplied with every thing they re- quire inthe agricultural machine and. im- plement line with all necessary repairs, He $ias secured a comfortable office with large and commodious show rooms attached, and everything is arranged in the ost satis- factory order. Repairs all ranged and numbered on suitable racks where partive may sec at a glance whatever they require. He has'on hand several varieties of the most approved Plows; amongst his Gang Plows js that general favorite the Paxton, Tate & ©o's Gang Plow, He hag something new But just what is wanted iu the Land Roller dine, a something which no farmer can do well without. He has three varielivs of ohwice Mowers and two varieties of Reapers. In fact he bas everything a farmer can re- quire, Grain Grinders, Horse Powers, Cutting Boxes, Seeders, Rakes, Turnip Sowers, Coro Planters, &c., &c. Farmers all know that Mr. Urquhart al- ways holds the front rank in keeping them supplied with the best quality of everything in the line and at the very lowest rato at which these can be supplied. Don't fail to give him a call and see what Le has got on hand. Sn Better Times. We are not particular to enquire very minutely into the canse but the effect is obvious we all know that times are butte) and still improving but whetherall the im- provement may be attributed to the N.P. we leave to others to determine, but certainly no one will dispute the fact that between the N. P. and the altered regime at Ottawa the agreeable change for the bitter has been secured. Mr. Boyd, of Bobeay zeon, floated some hundreds of thousands of fect of squared timber into Scugog Lake about the time that the Mackenzie party was at their height, three years before they got their discharge.-- Here the timbers lay in the water, the pro- prietor did not know what to do with them lie did not like to give them away and there was then little other use for them and ther they Jay and tnmbled around year alter year. But after the defeat of the Mackenzie Gov- ernment and the Sir. John Government had got fairly under weigh times began to improve and the value of all our materials 10 incrense, Mr Boyd began to look after This timbers and now some sixteen or twenty men are busily engaged regeuing thes timbers from a watery grave, putting them aboard the cars here, hurrying them on to market and obtaining a capital price for them. So much for the change of Govern ment ------ Welccme Visitors. * Weare much pleased to learn tha! our town is to be by the holding of the next sswion of the Ontario Annual Conference of AM. E. Church of Canada hero. This is u which the inhabitants of Port Perry w to appreciate as evinced by the hospitality of thelr homes to the rs and other who may attend {he Conference will open at the M. E on Thursday, 29th inst. uf probationers and can- ithe y 0f Lindsay Assize Court: : Phe Assize Court for the Coiintg of Ontario was held at the Coiftity {own during the past week, and Was by ho Hivans tine interesting bo this fochlity as we contributed our full shire to the exhibition. Some of our inhabitants Were iniide to occupy much fitore consp post than the cir- eutmstances of the cases wonld warrant. Mr. Justice Burton presided and the fol- fowing was the Criminal Lill of fare: ucen vs. Thomas Cooper-- Murder. Gucen vs. oar 6 Albert Vulenline.-- Attempt to commit a felony. Queen vd, Grang r.--Rape. Queen vs. Joseph York.-- Perjury. Queen vs. Benjamin Crandell.-- Champerty. Queen vs. Benjamin Crandell. --Perjury. The first cas, The Queen VE. Cooper-- Mu der, entirely broke down. Mr. N. F. Paterson, prisoners Couns: gicceeded in securing a verdict of « Not Guilty." We think no other verdict was possible under the circumstances. There is a pro- position in logic which says, «that which proves too much proves nothing," so in this case tho attempt to prove too much proved nothing for there was certainly no evidence to warrant a charge of wilful murder cither at the in [uest or »fterwards. The Queen ve. Benjamin Crandell, Subor- dination of Perjury, was another of those ases in which it is sought to prove too much, and Mr. N. G. Bigclow, prisoner's Counsol, succeeded in having the indictment quashed. ' All will be plensed that Ben. has come out of the ordeal unscathed, and thanks to the efforts of an able Counsel and the ur- erring wisdom of the blind godess of Jue- ticd, Mr. Crandell has been restored to his family and®socicty without a spot or stain as far ag the present charge goes. The Queen vs. C. H. Granger--Rape.-- The evidence in this cage filed entirely to prove the crime alleged. Jonocence was 10" attempted to be urged but there was no proof that the prisoner was guilty of the crime of which he was charged, and he was acquitted accordingly. Some one must have been anxious to get Mr. Crandell convicted of some crime as even the crime of Champerty wag preferred against him; but this was more thao the Grand Jury could stomach, and they threw it out and exonerated Ben from the charge. All concerned InAy PpOBSess their souls' in patience, for when they {catch Ben napping they may trip him up but there is precious little chance of finding himInapping at his post, and parties seeking to rope him in may {hiemsalves got entangled in the ropes. The Barnes prosecution farce in which he prosecutes four parties, viz: Valentine, Adams, Powell and Gerow, for conspiracy. &c., &c., has met the only fate of which it was susceptible--an unconditional burst.-- Mr. N G. Bigelow, Counsel for the defence, showed the farce in its true light aud ex- tinguished it. This disposes of the magnificent criminal bill of fare in which some in Reach and Port Perry were wade to figure so con- spicuously and against whom were charged All the crimes in the Calendar--Murder, Perjury, Arson, Conspiracy and having ex- hausted all the namos that the inventive genius could discover they wind up with Champerty or Saltpeter or some such term. And what have they made it? The alleged murderer was pronounced not guilty of the crime, The charge of Perjury melted away and the prisoner was discharged. The alleged Conspiracy and Coutemplated Arson vere only made ridiculous and laughed out of Court; and the parties acquitted. The famons Champerty charge was not even honored with an airing before the Court. This kind of thing might all do ifit ended here, but suzh is by no means the case. In the first place men's reputations are blasted by Leing made to figure in the Criminal Calendar when they have no right to be there ; 'they are put to a world of inconveni- ance, loss of time and waste of money, and their future prospects in life greatly marred. But it does not even end here for every tax- payer in the County is made to suffer by naving to pay a portion of the money squandered in such legal nensense. The furce just ended as regards the parties from Reach and Port Perry alonc--although there was nothiag to warrant the ghost of a con- viction in either cass--will cost the rate payers of this County some two or three thousand dollars. It is about time that this costly Will-v'-the-Wisp" Criminal procedure was breught to a close. Dear knows, our Criminal justice costs us enough without having te pav thousands of dollars for Crim- inal injustice. If the foglemen in such trumped up cases were obliged to pay the entire costs when the farce played out the country would not be disgraced and robbed by so many fancy Criminal Calcadars and vanishing criminal prosecutions. CIVIL SIDE. The civil side was by no means heayy but several,of the cases were quite interest- ing. - 'Phe suit between Calder and Gilchrist re- garding thecorrect boundary between Jots 19 and 20 in the 2nd cou. of Thora was well fonght. A verdict was given in favor of Gilchrist. Mr. N. F. Paterson, was counsel for Gilchrist. 3 Mr. Thomas, sues Mr. Thompson, for damages fora breach of covenant ina leas: Thomas got a verdict for $10 damages N F. Paterson, counsel for Thomas. The next case Williams, v. Williams obtained a verdict for $189 N. Paterson, was gounscl for Williaws: -- Division Court. The Division Court for the municipalities of Reach, Scugog and Port Perry was held on 'Thursday, 8th inst. ' His Honor, Judge Dartuell, presiding. The Court staff, Messrs Burnham and Watkis, were at their posts.-- The bar was represented Ly Mes ra. Barras, H. L. Ebbels; C. H,_ Campbell F. Yarnold finkson 5 o were 12 cords of it. hark, A young man, son of Mrs. King, cottober- utes the ev © of his mother and father swears that at the request ot his mother he had written pif. reminding him of the con- ditions on which the paper had been migoed and that there'@ould be no contract exceyt Ly the executors. : Mr. Griffin swears that Mrs. King told Nim that shebad signed fora towbstone from Lup. We were present only during a part of the trial Lut it must have been a murky case for in winding up the counsel for the defence called the attention of the Court to the re peated attempts ut swindling the public practiced by such parties and claiming pro- tection for the public against such. The Court gave judgment foe the det, and followed it up by adding tbat during the seven years in which he bad acted as Ju'ge dany cases had come before him which be considered "fishy" but the present isa cuse of the most determin. d , well we for- bear, His Honors strictures wera strong, but doubtless nostronger than he regarded it his duty in the public interest, and doubtless they will have their desired cffect in deter- ring the pif. aud all others who witnessed ths case from repeating the attempt to play sharp. The next case Jones » WitLcox was again postponed on account of the absence of the def. . Mr. Elbels, pifis counsel, said they would not seriously object to the postponement but they have a material witness from Brantford and Dy the def. paying the cost connected with the witness being here and also on con: dition that sufficient opportunity be allowed before the trial comes off to secure the pre- sence of the same witness, as he is a very ma- terial witness and they would not consent to have his evidence, for as well as having wold the goods referred to the witness hax had several conversations with the parties concerning the purchases, hence as well ax giving evidence he will be necessary as re- buttle, The case was put off on those con- ditions. The noxt case Youne v. Riowannson. PIF. rought this suit to recover $98 from def. as damages sustained through breach of con- tract. PI. had leased a furm to def. for$150 a year; but the last year $50 was to be al- lowed off the rent on consideration of clear- ing so much land, but the def. having failed to clear the land the plf. employed a party todo it and sues the def. for the amount of damage. PIf. sworn--to Mr. Ebbels--Def. is not now on the farm, his lease expired about year ago. Let af. have the farm ata low rent on condition that he would clear and fence so much land,def failed to do the work, I employed one Smith to do it and charged def. with the cost, def, had agreed that if the work was not done by harvest I should get it done, det. was willing Smith should do it, don't know anything about clearing land can't say what it is worth to do it, leave ali such matters to those who understand it. To Mr. Barron--Don't pretend to know the value of such work--Iithow nothing about it, I um willing to let those who understand it value the work, have already told you that I dun't pretend to value such work and it would not be right that I should for 1 know nothing about it. " Mr. Smith sworn--to Mr. Ebbels--Am » farmer, have farmed all my life, have been «ight years in this country, know something of clearing land, am now living on pif's farm when T am at home, have been a year on tle place, was hired Ly det. for a time when he was on the place, assisted him to clear up some, am now on the place myself, began tc clear up as soon as 1 got on the place and went on clearing as fast as I could, the land is much more difficult to clear in conse quence of def not clearing when he shoulo have done. Kept a record of the time spent in the work of clearing, can't do it myself. got Mr. Gi'roy, a neighbor to doit for me, went to him and told him how many days 1 had been and he sct it down, did not go every night, wentevery Saturdays when I had been clearing during the week, had several hands helping me, had Wilson, Martin and Gilroy. Itis worth more than 50 cents a hundred to split rails, Isplit and put up 2,- 400 rails. To Mr. Barron--Have no contract with plf now for splitting rails. The cross examina- tion was carried on to some length but it did nol amonnt to anything further than creat ing some laughter. Mr. Gilroy sworn--to Mr. Ebbels--Am an experienced farmer, well acquainted wit) the work of clearing, have done a great deal of it, it is worth wore per day to clear land than to do the ordidary work on the farm, would not work at it for less than $1.25 » day, helped Mr. Smith for atime, to clea good hard wood Jand is worth from 12 to 14 dollars an acre, this was not hard wood land and it is worth more to clear it. > The Court said that if pif. got the $50 the amount of reduction which be proposed making in defs rent, he thinks that pif. should be satisfied, for while def. did not complete his bargain he bad cleared part of the land and ifhe were charged the full rent it ought to be satisfactory. Def's counsel said that a decision of that sort was certainly allowing the pif. all -that he could expect but def. would be willing to fet it go at that. : PIfs counsel demurred snd asked the Court ifit was intended that del should give $50 besides the $26 paid info court. The Court sid {he $25 paid iuto court would be part of the $50. PIF counsel considered pif. had sustained damage which def sbould make good. The Court xaid he had no objection to al- low pif. an opportunity of showing that he had sustained damage but it will alse be for the def. to show that pf. is not entitled to all the $50. . * The next case was Ross v. Cozi. Thie case pe brought by pif for balance of account. To Mr, Crozier did not hear you say there Mr. the wood vile, drow ii cords of it, M Re ET i cxsterens shown is not the one on which she méde her | Andrew May sworh--to Mr Campbell.-- Have o clnim against the Co'y for § 4 this is for digging a well at Prince Albert station, itis over five years ago, have nevet been paid, frequently demanded payment from Mr Holden but he always put me off. To Mr. Ebbels--Did not make shy agree- ment with Mr. Holden, father arranged for the job, helped father in the work, father tnrned over the claim to me,he transferred it just after the work was done, there was no writings passed between us. hp Joseph May, father ol pif. sworn--to Mr. Cumpbell--Mr. Holden employed me to dig the well, had the conversation with him at the Prince Albert station. To Mr. Ebdels--Holden spoke to me at the Prince Albert station, it is so long since 1 cannot remember the exact time, Holden agreed, to pay for the digging right away, never asked money from Holden, handed the claim to my son soon After the work was done, did not know anythiog of Mr. Robson in the transaction, he never asked me to dig the well. Mr. Ebbels here claimed non-suit as Andrew May had no right to sue in this case as tLe claim had not been properly transfer- red. PIf. was non-suited. Now we have HiLsors v, Tm Wmrsy & P. P. R.Co'v. The pif. in this case sues the Railway Co'y for $14.50 forn pump put into the above celebrated well in 1871. Allen Hilborn sworn--to Mr. Camplell-- The account ix correct, it®is for patting a pump in a well for the Co'y at the Prince Albert station, father was sick at the 'time and I did the work. To Mr. Ebbels--Mr. Robson said to father while I was peescnt that he had been order- od by the Railway Co'y to order a pump put into the well at the Prince Alberg-station, of course I expected the C'o'y would pay for it, had then an open account with Mr. Rohwon the balance would be in his favor. Mr. Robson never settled with ns for the pump. Mr. Robson has no interest in the suit, never heard him edvise the gunit to be eqtered, father sent the account to the Co'y by Mr. Rohson it has never been paid. Mr. Robson "was now sworn but his evi- dence only went to show that he had been instructed Ly Mr. Helden to order Mr. Hilhorn to put "a pump inthe well at the Prince Albert station and that he (Robson) had no interest whatever in the present suit. Mr. Holden wag now put in thie box -- Witness here handed to Mr. Ebbels an out- lawed note for $30 against Mr. Robson. Here Mr. Robgon reminded witness that while hegwitness) was parading the $30 note he (Robson) held an account against him (Holden) for $108. The Conrt--We have no desire to hear vour private business discussed it is the pay- ment of the pump we are after. Mr. Holden--to Mr. Ebbels--Consented to allow Mr, Robson to get the well dug and the pump put in as Robson represented that these parties were owing him and ;1 expect +d that the amount wonld be turned on the note T held against Lim, never asked Robson to get a pump for the Co'y, never was asked for the price of the pump till a few weeks ago. Mr. Holden denied to Mr. Campbell that Mr. Robson held an account against him. The Court said it appeared {hat the rail way company had got the pump and had paid nothing for it, no attempt has been made to show that anything has heen paid for the pump. The pump has cither been paid for or it has not, he will allow the matter to stand over but his impression is that the Co'y is liable for the pump. How in creation James Holden, even at his mightiest, could expect to slide ont of paying for a pump he had ordered over 5 years ago and never paid for--and could not even attempt to show that he or anyone else bad paid for it--is to say the least of it not averly modest. Ifit takes five and a half vears to prmp $14.50 out of Holden how long would it take to pump $108 ? | \ Council Meeting: The mwuaicipal council ot Reach met at the town hall on Monday 12th just. members 111 present. The minutes of the previous meeting were end and approved. A memmial wag read from J. Coulter, lesiving to be detached from Pine Albert wwction and attached to Manchester section as the condition of the roads make it impos- sible for his children to get to scheol except avery short time in the year, but if cotnected with the Manchester section from the shorter distance and better road the children could attend regularly. A communication was also read from the snperintendent of the general Hospital, Toronto, stating - the Conditions on which patients cin be admitted to the hospital.

From the fool- ish way in which the party had acted it is little wonder that he broke the railing the wonder ig that he did not break both his own neck and that of his horse.
