Vessie had only eight dollars, according to evidence, and Boy sug- gested the taking of another can of honey to make up for the dollar Mr. Vessie was short. Mr. Boy in his evi- ‘ deuce swears that he asked for two ‘ cans, tendered the ten-dollar bill, got . his eight dollars in changeand left the house. He swears also that.he bought the honey for Tom Pollock, who gave him the ten-dollar bill, on the way up from Holstein, and a short time be- ta. reaching the home of Mr. Vessie, Hochims too that he did not know the till was worthless and that he de- Ivered the honey to Pollock and gave m the eight dollars he got from Veda. Evidence was taken on Saturday afternoon and evening before Police Magistrate Telford of this town, with the result that Boy was committed. Constable Carson served the sum- mons on Boy to appear for trial at the time but the accused failed to turn up and was not seen here since until Sat- urday last when he was taken from Wiarton by Mr. Carson, where he was arrested at the instance of the author- ities here. In December 1902?, lulu-James Vessie of the township of Egremont, had a warrant issued for the arrest of Chas. Boy, who was alleged to have passed a worthless ten-dollar bill on him in exchange for two cans of honey and eight dollars no good money. Durham, May 26, 1904. DURHAM CHRONICLE MacfAHLANE Cl].

He bore his sickness with great patience and Christian for- titude and although anxious and hope- ful for a time that he would get better; ghe was enabled to say “Thy will be :be done." He was a member of La- f tona Presbyterian church and for } many years precentor. During Mr. Smith’s short stay in Valetto he endeared himself to all who knew him and much symmthy is felt for Mrs. Smith and family. ric conducting the services. In course of his. remarks Mr. McQuarrie said he thought everyone had some special characteristic by" which they Wcre known and Mr. Smith’s was meekness, love and an amiable retiring disposi- tion.

It was most fitting on the oc- ’casion that the children and friends ; of the venerable pair should do honor l tothe aged couple, and accordingly they a it assembled with the exception ,‘of George who is in Vancouver, and 1 I‘homas in Manitoba.

Moreover, he thought ; an innocent man would not have left l the country “ to keep out of the way ” l as the accused swore he had done. but i would “face the music” and establish i his innocence. He had to dissent from i the position taken by Mr. Dunn, and ;committed Mr. Boy to stand his trial 1 at Owen Sound. ‘ Mr. Telford on the other hand thought there were circumstances in ziconnection with Hoy’s dealings that ishowed conscious knowledge of in- ' tentional fraud, and instanced the ten- idering ofafive dollar bill to McCal- i won in payment of a seventy-five cent 3 debt, when he had the change in his The hills, (which were placed in Court, ) were “ Confederate Bills ” issued during the time of the American Civil \Var, or as We understand them they were mere “ Army Bills” good only till the war closed when they would be redeemed by the Government. In presenting his argument in be. half of the accused, Mr. Dunn. pointed out the inadmissahility of evidence given by Mr. Crawford, Mr. McCal- mon and Mrs. Gadd, and also exâ€" plained the necessity of the Crown to prove that Hoy passed the money with fraudulent intent. this he claim- ed had not been shown by “one jot or one tittle of evidence," and that a commitment should not be made under the circumstances. To the Police Magistrate Mr. Roy admitted being served with a sum- mons at the time by Mr. Carson and also that he went up North to keep out of the way.

The place of the boozer is limited in business circles. Booze and business don’t go well together, and the man Who hangs to the booze will have to drop the “biz” sooner or later. The man who imagines it is necessary to indulge in booze in Order to develop a business takes a narrow view of life, and is en- tering on a very doubtful course to promote his financial influence and his financial standing. There me some who look for the booze, every time they do business, and there are some business men who suppIement the business withzthe booze, too often los- ing alljthe pr oflts of the business ”deal, It must not for a moment be imagined that we charge a man with a se1 137:8 crime who takes a glass of intoxicants but we do charge a man with foolish- ness who spends the amount of the profits made every time he puts a deal through.
