A eele ago Friday Mr. Gowans formerly admitted that it was he who published the extracts to which Major Sharpe has taken objection. The hoaring, 'however, was adjourned at that point.until to-day.

Under cross-examination by Mr. Sedgewick, Captain MacFarlane stated that Major Sharpe had been attached to one of the brigades mobolized for foreign service-at Valcartier. "Do you know why Major Sharpe didn't go to the front?"--*"No Sir." "Have you heard of Major Sharpe having any disputes with. senior offi- cers or with the Minister of Malitia?" Mr. Cook objected to the question "1 {and in an ensuing debate Mr. - Sedge: wick declared that the complainant had to prove that Major Sharpe was on April the first a member of the Expeditionary force and a member of the House. The question was disallowed on the ground that it was a matter of hearsay but when Mr. Cook asked whether 'witness had his own knowledge learn- ed of any such dispute, the answer was in the negative. In asking for commitment of Mr. Gowans, Mr. Cook contended that publication was all that was necessary to warrant a trial of the case, and that such publication was proved by. Job- bett's evidence. He referred to the paragraphs themselves as a gross and indecent insult and to Mr. Gowans' tardly. Defence alleged that there had been no liability to cause a breach of the peace and thus 'justify criminal pro- ceedings, and that," while the com: plainant in a libel action had to be injured 1n is calling 1t had not been shown that Mr. Sharpe was at present either a member of the militia or the House of Commons, the calling men: tioned in the information.
