| 4 P1 E& # (%€ the hole which he bas prepared for himself, and say Mr. Irwin, dont you think that hole is large enough to W’l‘ry is both you atn.d;' NcKinno:: anyway. es seem to dowm_n.rx y’l‘m{ing you again for Again let me say that I have not been able to please Mr. Irwin in the past, and I venture to sa{ that there is very little possibility of doing so in the tuture unless by some means I would shuffie off this mortal coil and d?srt to some place where McKinoon and Irwin woulJ conslg:: me to. In his last letter Mr. Irwin me up a tree, perhaps it would be just as well to leave him in Ist, MceKinnon challenges me to prove that anything was done by the solicitor or members of the council to @ffect a settlement with him and then immediately afterwards states that he received a letter from the Solteitor to meet us with that object in view. 1 again state that everything was done that possibly could be done before and after the information was laid to induce McKinnon to comply with the byâ€"law. Members of the Town Council stated that they had met him and asked him to compromise in some way or other and 1 have heard at least two influenâ€" tral citizens say, that they advised bhim to put the money he would spend in exâ€" penses in brick and get his buildimng to conform with the byâ€"law. Another reason that he did not do so was proâ€" bably the statement he made on Nomination night when be publicly stated that he could beat the Town on tive different counts or that his Soliciâ€" tor had advised him so, and that it would not cost him anything to do so and now that he has his own expenses and the costs of the court to pay he 1s whining and threatening to sue the Town to recover his expenses. Me also questions my authority to say that the Fire hi;-)nw is good. Why the yery fact that he did not get costs against the Town is a good argument for my contention, The validity of the byâ€"law was the main issue in the appeal. Does any sane man believe that the Judges who sat in the court and gave 4th,. That this conviction and others were signed in the presence of Thomas A. Harris, Inspector, J. P. Telford and James Carson, by the three magistrates above named. 5th,. That a return of conviction was made to the Clerk of the Peace in accordance with above facts. 6th, That this conviction was pubâ€" lished in the month of June and that not one word was said about it being wrong by any of the parties until the following Novemberâ€"when it was disâ€" covered that McKinnon was disqualiâ€" fied under the Municipal Actâ€"that any exertion was made to appeal the cases referred to and just here let me say. that it was through the generosity of the License Department that the disâ€" qualification was removed the limit of time haying elapsed that an appeal coud be taken, _ All of these statements can be yeritied by those who may wish to do so as the proceedings of the magistrates court, conviction and signaâ€" tures can be seen and bave been seen by those interested in the matter. I will now proceed to give a few answers to MceK innon‘s questions : did not wish to appear before me 3rd. That after other cases had teen disposed of before a bench of magisâ€" trates consisting of H. W. Mocklet, Jas. Edge and myself that MeceKinnon‘s case was brought on a plea entered as above stated by the Inspector, by instructions from McKinnon, that a conviction was drawn up by me as presiding magisâ€" trate, read over aloud and signed by H. W, Mockler, James Edge and myself. 2nd. That when information was laid against him by the Inspector he met the lns(s)ector before the day of his trial pleaded guilty to the offence paid his fine or a portion of it and asked the Inspector to put in a plea of guilty when his trial came up as he. McKinnon did not wish to appear before me Ist. That McKinnon did comumit an offence against the Liquor License Act on election night four years ago. move a disqualification which preventâ€" ed him from being a candidate in a Municipal election which was then pendinlg and that they only signed these documents more from sympathy tor MceKinnon than anything else. If your readers will look over their affiâ€" davits carefally they will find that the whole sum and substance is to try and show that a conviction was wrongfully made without McKinnon‘s knowledge or presence and that they did not know or remember having signed the convicâ€" tions. Again let me state what did take place on the occasion referred to and ther let the public judge in the matter, The statements which I hauve made previously and do now make are : Permit me to again trespass on your yvaluable columns to answer a few questions addressed to me in the letters of Irwin and McKinâ€" non in last week‘s REvIEw and Chronâ€" 1cle. Mr. Irwin must have believed that his case was getting desperate when he considers it necessary to use both papers, Columns of affidavites, McKinnon‘s letter and his other mistateâ€" ments and misrepresencations to try and defend his actions and statements. Now as to the affidavits let us consider these for a moment and see what they contain. I have the best of reasons for believing that neither Mr. Edge nor Mr. Mockler got up the affidayits but they were prexjareg by a Solicitor who wns} paid by McKinnon and engaged to reâ€" Editor of the Review Irwin of The Chronicle in a Hole.
