A physician was called in to attend her when the first symptoms wero maniâ€" | fested, but after sho began to havre her subsequent experience she refused to take ’ any medicine. The doctor soon after came ' t> the conclusion that ho could do nothing for her in any event. In January, 1877, , she one day became unconscious, and has remained so ever since. ‘t will be a year ago next month since a particle of nourishâ€" ment has been administered to her, with the exception of water, ice, or ice cream. Three monts since she began to be affected with what may be termed spasms, although there is no evidence of pain or suffering when they occur. ‘They come on every glternate hour and last just an hour. At ffirst they were very strong, but of late have grown milder every day. When in this particular condition she rocks that portion of her body extending from the top of the head to the waits, from side to side of the lounge upon which she lies. The motion can be best understood when it is described as reminding one of the action of a penduâ€" lum when in motion. When passive both hands lie carelessly upon her breast; when the spasms are on they are held up. As she rocks to the left, the left hand is carried to the forehead and the right falls upon her breast. In the reverse motion the lefthand is carried over upon the right, and in every instance the hands fall unfailingly upon the same spot, never varying a particle. Her bod is usually very cold, but during the spasms it becomes clammy and feels like that of a dead person. The little girl food, and her case is an exceedingly inteâ€" 1 resting one. A reporter detailed to get at | the facts called upon the parents of the " child, and with considerable difficulty sueâ€" [ ceeded in learniag the history of her case. He was permitted to see the child in her strange condition. Mr. and Mrs. Wagemann at first were very reluetant about giving deâ€" tails, as they had no desire to have the matâ€" ter get into public print, and plainly exâ€" pressed themselves in regard to that fact. But finally, yielding to carnest solicitation they stated that the httle girl had boen exâ€" tremely studious, and had exibited marked piety in her intercourse with those about| her. More than a year ago last January | she complained of great pain in the back of hor head and neck. This was followed by the gradual loss of the use of her limbs.

DURHAM, Co. Grey, POETRY s Confession. , and eurth with doep zanship and that official administration of justice could go hand in hand. : (Concluded.) ‘| At the present Assizes the bulk of the ep | cases were more or less directly hinged on the working of the liquor laws. Three casâ€" °7 j es charging perjury were directly in conâ€" ir | nection with these. In two of them a subâ€" fo. detective, of the name of Benner, was the ‘| party charged. Benuer hsd been picked up promisctiously mabout Orangeville by ; | Government Detective Laird, and employâ€" of \ ed by him at one dollar per day, and all expenses found, for the purpose of going into houses where liquor was supposed to e ; | be sold, and treating himself and others to drinks, and then informing on the parties * | supplying theliquor. On such information , | uot a fow parties had been taken before local magistrates and heavily fined. Mr. Hannah, at Flesherton and Pricevillo Staâ€" tion, after being convicted at Flesherton on such evidence, turned round and charg» ’ ed Benner with perjury. The caso was tried before Just‘ce Burton on Saturday. | Lâ€"ird, the Government Detective, was the , sole evidence adduced in support of Berâ€" iner‘s sworn information that he had drank and paid for liquor at Hazuah‘s on a cerâ€" * / tain morning. On the other hand, Hanâ€" nah, his wife and hired girl, as well as two farmers of the neighborhood, and an Owen * Sound man, all gave sworn evidence to the effect that there was no liquor on Harâ€" nah‘s premises on the morning roferred to, it being the morning of the Tp. Ag‘l Show i | at Priceville, and from that circumstance, l’c!ear in the memories of all parties conâ€" t cerned. No attempt was made even by ® | the prisoner‘s counsel to east any disredit s | upon the testimony of these half dozen 7‘ witnesses for the prosecution any farther ‘ | than to indicate that Mr. Hannah himself +1 might have a personal motive to bring b :guilt home to Benner. Notwithstanding ‘ \this the court charged tho Jury on behalf ' [of Benner. The Jury, however, after hayâ€" | jing retired several hours, returned with | |a unanimous verdict for the Crown, and | | it only remained for the court to consider | | by what method the prisoner Benner| | could be released from the consequences | of the verdict ef guilty, brought in against | him. At the time the case was going on,|‘ | Mr. Ferguson, of Toronto, Counsel for deâ€"| fendant, had suggosted to the Judge the |‘ | propriety of throwing the case out of Court | ! | on the plea that the case in which Benner | committed the alleged per;ury was being |! tried under the Crook‘s Act, while the| County at that time was under the operaâ€" | tion of the Dankin Byâ€"Law, and there beâ€" |! ing thus no jurisdiction under the Crook‘s| t ‘ Act, that therefore no perjury was comâ€"|| mitted. After considerable discussion, the | t 'lcnmcd Judge ruled to go on with the|! :cnsa, making note of the objection. The|! | result is that sentance is deferred, and bail | © has been taken for Benner to appear for 1 judgment when called on. I am told that | as the law now stands, the finding of a f jury when not in accordance with the eviâ€"|â€" dence can be overruled. I fail to ses in |{ the present case on what grounds the verâ€" t I dict can be oveturned. In charging the i Jury the Judge warned them not to be led | Y [ away by the remarks of the Counsel for | > the prosecution, Mr. MeF adyen, who had referred to the eharacter of the prisoner‘s|® occupation, and the motives he might have | 4 in laying information, and so manifesting | t t> his employer that he was doing someâ€"| & thing. ‘The learned Judge, while he could | t express no favour for such an occupation, | © said the Jury had nothing to do with|° either the occupation or motives of the | l prisoner, only with the evidence. It|P occurred to me somewhat strongly that he | t might at the same time have hinted that| 9 neither had they anything to do with Hanâ€" | T nah‘s motives. But Justice Burton dil|t nothing of the kind. Yet the Juryâ€"intelâ€"| n ligent men, as I know some of them to be, | 0 and knowing nothing of either of the parâ€"| d ties, atter carcfully weighing the evidence, | C in accordance with thoir ideas of common | t! sense and fair play, and trying to exclude| J f:om their mainds every consideration but| t! the actual evidence tefore them, found | T the weight of evidence so decidedly | w against the prisoner as to â€" shoulâ€"|lc | der the responsibility of bringing in | f# a verdict of guilty in face of the very | evident feeling of the court. No matter | r: what our opinions may be on the Dunkin | ¢ Act o whiskey, I folt strongly that this| h Jury did its clear and bounden duty, Jusâ€"| in tice Burton and all others to the contrary.| S Justice Burton when addressing the Jury | in on the next case of Benmer, spoke of how | sc he was shooked at the verdict the previous | w Jury had found, and how it was calculated | m to bring the jury system into disrepute. | ag Such language as coming from a Judge on | be th> Bench I do not understand. As com:â€" | to ing from a partizan it would have hbeen |re nothing astonishing. I had thought that | ca we in Canada had yet to learn that partiâ€" | st Some Peculiarities i County Town. ONTARIO 2, 1878. In addiessing the Grand Jury, and othâ€" erwise during the progress of the court, Justice Burton animadverted strongly as to any association of men combining toâ€" gether to obstruct or prevent the admiaisâ€" tration of the law. The impression of course conveyed, and that in no ambignâ€" ous terms to his hearers, was that the Victualler‘s Association or whatever is its proper title, was the combination referred t>. It was spoken of as if it was a Lody of conspirators conspiring against the law. This is a very serious offence, and if it is the fict, surely the law is open to the adâ€" ministrators of the law to take cognizance of such conspiracy. Decided‘ly it is their duty to do so, and the executive for the Crown is very far from doing its duty by the people and country at large if, like Justice Burton, it is clearly aware of the the existence of such combinations. The ‘ The fact of a Victualler‘s Association or whiskey association, or whatever it is calâ€" led, existing, is known to every one. So far as known its members have never made the smallest secret of its existence ; rather the contrary. Consequently there eculd not be the least difficulty in laying ‘ hold of such an association and prosecutâ€" ing for conspirecy if _ such exists. Such a course would be far more becoming in Justice Burton than to so brand an asâ€" sociation when the law could in a formal way and with so much facility take the matter in hand and prosecute for treason against the law. But is agitation only to be allowed tofmake and not to be allowed to repeal laws ? If the Dunkin Bill was repealed toâ€"morrow, would not its advoâ€" cates feel thomselves perfectly justified in starting the day after, if they chose a public agitation for its reâ€"instatement ? Of course they would, and the law would supâ€" port them without seeking to brand them as conspirators. The Dunkin Bill is adâ€" mittedly an experiment. ‘The very terms of the Act make provision for its repeal when desired. No matter what the morâ€" ality of whiskey or whiskey drinking may be, its supporters have as much right by our constitution to agitate for a greater or less amount of liberty in its practices, as others have to agitate for its prohibition. And when whiskey men band together for th» purpose of being more able to manifest | what they consider iniquities in the liquor ; _ Has it come to this, that because & man â€" is a government employee, or employed 1 by a government employee, that therefore ; his onth is to be taken in preference to _ any other half dozen of people whose crodâ€" ibility is unchallenged ? If it is alowed ; that interested motives may sway other _ people, is purity of motive only to be found _ amongst government employees acting in the capacity of spies and informers ? Is it _ impossible that any scallawag picked up by a governmen detective in a tavern or ‘railway train can be influenced by no imâ€" _ proper motives, simply because he is in ‘ such employment ? Such a man is promâ€" , ised a dollar a day to act as a spy upon his fellows. He is furnished by the law with money ad infinitum to purchase drinks for himself and others contrary to Iaw, but 3 professedly to support the law. â€" What sort of work is this? Are we come to this, that to make people drink legally and be moral we must inaugurate a scoundrelly system of first breaking the law, and by so doing demoralizing the morrls of those so engaged ? Has it actually come to this, that the great temperance party of moral and soc‘al reformers give their moral and active support to such a system? That to attain the end of making people sober they must first furnish a certain class with the means to get drunk, make others drunken, and carry on a general system of espionage and demoralization? I trust and believe there are numerous men conâ€" nected with the temperance rauks, and, and that the best of them, who would feol degraded in giving the smallest countenâ€" ance to such a system. Such men beliove in the morality of their cause, and of carâ€" rying it on by moral means or not at all. In Owen Sound, however, it was instrueâ€" tive to notice how leading temperance men there were prepared to bear Benner out, avd even to view him as a sort of martyr to the cause of temperance. But then they rre a notable people about Owen Sound, and go to extremes in all 1â€"| rections so far as I could observe. Yet it is strange how extremes meet sometimes, ‘ and at the close of this second case of Benâ€" ner‘s there was a peculiar illustration of | the meeting of extremes just in front of the court house in the occurence of someâ€" thing like a free fight betwixt a leading Duukin Bill champion and a wholesale liquor dealer. Whether the blows were all on one ride I do not know, but the Dunkin champion was laid low and the whiskey champion enjoys what poor satisâ€" factiqn he may find in physically flooring |, his opponent. I did not see the row, but | from what little I could see and hear of| the Dunkin man shortly before, I can easâ€" |â€" ily believe that his tongue would sting as well as the whiskey man‘s hand would hit. his present evidence at the Assize Court. This being the case, the prisoner deserved the benefit of the doubt, and the Jury without hesitation brought in a verdict aeâ€" cordingly. But had the evidence been ¢lear and emphatic on the side of the prosâ€" ecution in this case as in the other, what could the Jury have done but have given effect io the weight of evidence? else, what is the use of juries, or $what is the use of trial for perjury at all ? TORONTO whiskey man‘s hand would $1 per year in Advance. ,| _ "The case of Frost against Creighton for || slander occupied from the forencon of |Thursday until the afternoon of Fridey. | Frost had been giring his evidence in the | police court, when he swore the moon was | up so that he could see his watch when he |left a certain Dunkin {Bill meeting. On | leaving the court Creighton attacked Frost | in the hearing of a crowd to the effect that | the man who would swear that the moon | was up at the time specified was swearing ‘ | what was not true, and was guilty of wilful [ and corrupt perjury, â€" Nearly 50 witnesses |altogethor were examined, one of whom l was brought all the way from Toronto Obâ€" servatory to prove scientiffically that the |moon rose on said evening at a certain |time. There was evidently a great deal of moonshine about the case, and it cortainly aid not deservo the time that was spent upoun it. ‘There were, however, two reâ€" deeming points that somewhat relieved the tediousness of this case. Alfred Frost, Crown Attorney and brother of the plainâ€" tiff, in giving his evidence described with glowing poetic imagery worthy of Byron or Longfellow, the beautiful moonlight | vision that attracted his gazo as depicted on the lake by the rays of the moon as he was driving home with his brother, John Frost on that "silvery" evening. The "silvery ripple of the water" went to show that our old friend, Jack Frost, had nmoâ€" thing to do with the matter, but after such a thrilling description both court and jury appeared to manifest no hesitation in belioving that John Frost had moonshine enough to distinguish the face of his watch. "Tis not often that dry, matter of fact Crown attorneys can do the postical like Mr. Alired Frost. It was in this case that one of the witnesses perpetrated a bull which it was worth while sitting through all this very tedious case to hear. On beâ€" ing asked by Mr. Ferguson, Q. C., to reâ€" peat what he had just said, witness burst out with "Isn‘t that grammar!" Mr. Ferâ€" guson at once grasping the fact that he had a lusus nature to deal with, asked him in his peculiarly kindly way, if he knew what cross examination meant. Witness, with a look of superlative wisâ€" dom, as much as to say any child knows that said, "of course I do!" "Well, then," | said the learned counsel, "would you just be good enough to give the Court and Jury your definition of cross examination ?" Witness, with the most imperturbable conâ€" | }hmpt depicted on his countenance, reâ€" y plied at once that "cross examination ‘ meant giving an answer straight without i turning ‘round the corner." The court i from Judge downwards was fairly conâ€" P vulsed. For an hour afterwards parties}, could be observed almost unable to reâ€" ‘ strain their gravity when the cireumstance T returned to their minds. Creighton, the { defendunt in this case, is evidently a very » excitable mar, and is moreover a Constaâ€" 1 ble, or Chief Constable of Owen Sound. i Now, of course, a man occupying such m i very impor‘ant office as this must be a i. man of remarkable character. Sach a i man could, from his high position afford to 1 look down on his fellow men, especially r upon such an inferier class as lawyers. » However careful the lieges had to be in i apenaking to his High Mightiness, the Chief t Constable, it would appear as if a Chief|. Constable, or one who had been so, might use any sort of language when addressing any others of the pettifogging community. However, Mr. Frost got a verdict of guilty against Creighton, with $10 of damages, and while neither party will profit much by the ease, it may be a lesson to the one that even a High Constable should put a bridle on his tongue, and to the other that In the ease of the Chatsworth riois a true Bill was only found against one of the parties, and the case is consequently adâ€" journed until another sitting of the Court. Itlis understood the Grand Jury found true Bills or otherwise on these cases with very narrow majorities. A true Bill was brought in by the Grand Jury against Dr. McGregor, ot Chatsworth, for obstructing Poace Officer in discharge of his duty, but owing to the sudden and severe illness of the Dr., the case could not be proseeded with. Anotlhier case of perjury directly arising out of the liquor business was the charge of perjivy against Mary Barton, who had sworn to assault on the part of Inspecsor Harris while he and a constable were searching her premises somewhere between Durham and Motnt Forest. The charge of assault was clearly disproved and a verdict of perjury brought by the Jury, but with a strong recommendation to merey, as Mrs. Barton had evidently been made the tool of others. Pity that the law could not lay its fangs on these othe:s and give them Penitontiary for three years, instead of poor Mary Barton with a child in her arms getting the very merciful sentence of three months in gacl. laws, they are only doing like unto their ’opponentl who seek to manifest, and very properly with no sparing hand, what they consider the iniquities of the whole liquor business, Large numbers of temperance people appear to have come to the concluâ€" sion that the day of comparative restricâ€" tion of the liquor traffic has gone, and that the day of prohibition has come, and they must be astonished if in carrying out their programine they meet with obstructions. They have taken to the arm of the law to force their ideas, and their fellow citizens have an equal right with them to get the law whenever and wherever they can to sanction their practice. There were two cases of seduction, and damages were brought in both cases. How girls can bring themselves to come forward in open court to give evidence in such matters is more thin one can well understand. ‘The effrontery requisite for passing through such an ordeal would alâ€" most cause any right thinking person to question evidence given by such parties. Fancy the giggling und sniggering of the young lawyers and others about the Court when some statements were made. Just imugine all the questions, answors and comments on a long cross examination, ana say whether something should not be done whereby such disgusting deseriptions should not be retailed in open Court, These seduction cases for damages are beâ€" eaming rather too common, and unless in very special cases it will very generally be found that there may have been seduction on both sides. Right minded persons of both sexes I think will bear me out in sayâ€" ing that where there is real virtue in a girl it will in ordinary circumstances prove a sufficient shield of protection, but the girl that don‘t possess this, and exposes herself by loose talk and otherwise to the allureâ€" ments of men like herself has no right to charge any one with seduction. In both thugeuuthil seems to have been too much the case; and while considerable damages in both cases were awarded, the question arises whother the awarding of damages in such cases does not tend to bring about the very result which the law is intended to prevent. Buch is a resume of the principal cases HmthoColfl.doqvifllmm. lars about our County Town. notwithbianding some peosberiitees tivey notwithstanding some peculiarities, Owen Bound is quite a credit to our County, and The trial of James May, of Dundalk, for perjury, requires some little comment. He had charsed Messrs. Middleton and Graham, J. Ps., with compounding a felâ€" ony, in that a party in Dundalk charged with stealing butter some years since, and brought before Mr. Graham, was dischargâ€" ed for want of evidence, and that Graham and Middleton had connived at his disâ€" charge for the purpose of getting the man to leave the placo and dividing the goods amongst themselves. The roan had, On faet, left Dundalk immediately after, and these gentlemen, with others, had bought and paid for part of his moveables, but there was not the shadow of proof to show that they were in any way guilty of such a charge. At the same time Justice Burâ€" ton said it was imprudent of them in the cireumstances to have had anything to do with mesisting the man‘s removal. May was brought in guilty of perjury in both ‘ouu. and subsequently sentenced to sit months in gaol for each offence, a very lenient sentence, and one for which he may thank the learned Judge‘s eympathy for his wife and large family. May offered no proof whatever, and it is an astonishâ€" ment to me why his Counsel had not adâ€" vised him to plead guilty at least in the secoud case. When ealled on to plead why sentence should not be passed, May said he had been advisod to do what he did in signing the information. But the Court, of course, ruled that if he allowed himself to be made the tool of others he must take the consequences. Although not allowed to come much above board this whole case indicated that local feeling and rivalry runs high about Dundalk, and that certain parties isterested in that thriving village are not much interested in advancing each others reputation. The case of Wilton v. Grier was rather an important one. Wilton had some sheep with a neighbor on shares for a year. Wilton went to the neighbor‘s with his hired man to bring home his share of the sheep. The neighbor wasn‘t at home, and Wilton and his man divided the sheep and wards laid an information with Mr. Grier, J. P., and School Inspector for East Grey, that Wilton had stolen the sheep.* Grier associated with himself another J. P., of the name of Webb, and they had Wilton summarily tried and sent to gaol en m charge of sheep stealing. The Grand Jury found no Bill, and Wilton now brought an action for damages. No malâ€" ise was found on the part of Mr. Grier, but a deplorable ignerance of the law, in sending a man to gaol in such a highâ€" handed way on such a charge, and withâ€" out enquiring more narrowly into it. Mr. Justice Burton, while expressing his wilâ€" lingness to support the Magistracy in every right way, denounced the conduct of Mr, Grier as most injudicious and as infring» ing on the liberty of the subject, and more especially as Grier had been for a number of years in the Comuission, and from his position ought to have known better, The defendant was muleted in $250 damages. Before the case was tried Wilton, under advice of his Counsel, Mr. Ferguson, Q. C., iofl'ered to settle on Griers paying him $100, Grier offered $75 but would not budge farther. In conuection with this case there was considerable talk in town aud amonget thase there congregated from all parts of the County. ‘The general feeling seemed to be that this Peace Commissionâ€" ership had been overdone. That the faâ€" cilities afforded in all localities for trying petty cases had been the means of incroasâ€" ing trouble instead of allaying it. That ignorant men appointed to this office with» out any special qualification often caused more trowble before they learnt the smalâ€" lest routine of their dutics than all the benefit that could accrue from their serviâ€" ces after they might have more or less partially aequired t:at routine. The case of Moore v. McKenny was an action for slander, that it would have been ereditable for both parties had it never been moved in. ‘The case had been adâ€" journed over a year, and was considerably charged rather strongly in favour of Moore, but as there was little or no evidence to prove malice, the Jury considered that such a case should be left as nearly as posâ€" sible where it was first found, and returnâ€" ea a verdict for Dr. Moore with 25¢. damâ€" an honest lawyer has something else to do than raise actions for damages against the ynifingtongmcdmm'hâ€"buh at 1 $ 1J
