Parsons H-ogle was a tenat.of W. B. Robson on a farm n the township oý -?îckering and in the faîl of 1894 macle arrangements with Robson ta accept H-og les brother-mn-Iaw, John Carter, as tenant of the (arm, and 10 guarrantee the rent Hogle gave Roben a note for $122.50, which would be equi calent ta paying the rent three months in advance. Carter held the famm until the faîl of 1895, when Robson visited the place on Sept. 21St ini company with a constable and arrested himi and Hogle, who happened ta be there ai the lime, on a charge of having conspire-d to have Carter accepted as Robsons tenant, and thus fix Robson so that he coulti not distrain Hogle's chattels for the ent. [n other words Robson claims that he was dlone up by Ho~ le and Car- ter. '1 he case was heard before the reeve of Markhamn, wbo dismnisacd Hogle and Cafter. Bath Hogle and Cartet testify that ai the time of the arrest Carter offered ta py Robsori bis rent. but the latter dechined 10 eceive iL. Carter noWs sues for the damage resulîing fmom the disgmace of a charge of cor.spiracy. He claimns that at the time he toak the farm off Hogles banda he did flot know that Hogle owed Robson back ent, And therefore could flot have been a party t0 a ,cheme to beat Robson out of bis ent. The real object o! the plaintiff is ta show that Robson had him and Hogle arrested because he wished tu use the criminal law as a lever to enforce the payment of Hogles note of $t22 5o. Robson claimns to be in the position o! a mani who bas been defrauded oit of two year's rent of hie tarm, and who tooli such legal steps as his soli- ctor advised t0 enforce payment. He bolds that men whom he treated generously in regard ru rentaI are now tumnîng round and seeking ta stick htm for damages. Notwithstanding ihe f ct that he had taken Elogles note he could stldistmain Hogle'e chattels at any lime if be iad not t-ansfermed the tenancy to Carter, but flot afterwards Then by the time the uote came due be could not gel anythîng tomn Hogle.

Soon tht-. talk began 10 fly round that Alger had worked a big insuranoe fraud, and that a nest of these ochemnes had been dis- covered in Plckering township, the resuit being that the crown had Mrs. Alger's body exhumed at Brougham, and then the discovery was made beyond doubi that she was a victim of consumup. dbon.
