Bum Mitt "lt is generally believed that we are only on the threshold of one of the most sensational criminal cases in the history of the Province. The insur- ance companies and detectives have accumulated a mass of evidence regar- ding Metunetlum's incendiary fires of which the public have as yet little ide '" and to back it up two of the cus- Deeted individuals have turned Queen's evidence. It will not be the fault of the Crown if the practice of burning barns for the sake of the insurance and for spite does not terminate as far as Mclanethon is concerned. " A singular feature of the conspiracy is that two colored men David and James Ballard have been the leaders, and have become wealthy by their nefarious practices. One of their chief associates is Alonso Smith. and new names are coming to light as partners in the conspiracy. Two of these nam- ed Tinsdale, the crown has secured as Queen's evidence and others are spoken off, so that tefore long the villainous gang or gangs will be run to earth. The Shelburne Economist of last week Bttyibt-- According to a Star reporter there were three gangs of eight each, which " worked " their own districts and yet had some connection for purposes of offence or defence. At one of these latter lately, the owner, who had incurred the hatred of the firebup, was endeayoring to remove stockfrom the burning build- ing, and was unfortunately burned to death. Some suspicion existed that he had been killed and thrown in the fire, and the local authorities summoned government assistance to investigate the death, and the general terrorist conditions existing in the neighbor- hood. An inquest has been held, bat nothing has come to light to show that the death ot young Fenton was not accidental, the enquiries into the in- eendiarismg however have resulted in in the arrest of 8or 10 men who are now in Orangeville jail. The father of the Ballard, was an eeeaped slave who settled in Melancth- on before 1852. He married a white woman and both sons have done like- wise. Their domestic history is an unsavory one, though David and his wife are reported to be conjugally re- spectable. So bad had become the character of the district that insurance companies were refusing and cancelling risks as even honest men were in danger from the malevolence of the incendiarists. Such is the nickname applied to a district between Dundalk and Corbeto ton, which has become notorious of late years for dread incendiary origin. A mass of evidence has come to light showing that an organized system of defrauding insurance companies has been developed, by which property was destroyed for the insurance, with a fire now and then for spite or re- venge. l, Bulletin No. lot, issued by the O.
