The speaker, then referring to His `Lordship, said that from his knowledge of His Lordship's legal ability and sincerity he felt satised that he would maintain the high traditions referred to. Mr. Boys welcomed him, only in his first judicial capacity, as he h-ad not forgotten thfrequent visits Judge Mowat had paid to Barrie while stationed at Camp Borden, where he held a commission in His Maj- esty`s Forces. His Lordship's record fur ` four years -as an M.P. was mentioned, and ' the speaker_then pressed upon him not. to > forget the troubles of_ the -bar, having in mind that occasionally `members of the Bar who are elevated to the Bench have a ten- dency to overlook that` feature. In this matter, he spoke not for the few members -who impose on the'c_ourt from time to-time but for the large majority of those who nd difficulty in saving time and expensesre- garding the attendance of litigants -and wit- nesses ~at*a trial. Concluding, Mr. Boys hoped that His Lordship would long be spared to discharge the most important and onerous duties devolving" upon every Sup- reme Court judge. Inihis reply, His Lordship thanked the Bar for theswelcome and congratulations given him, nding fault only with what he ` feared was the all too attering `account of -hissability -and qualications. His in- tention was to endeavor to be a `patient '3 judge -and to devote himself earnestly to theginvestigation and determination of all ` cases that camebefore He thanked Mr. Boys for the refegce to his relatives ' and exprpssed his i ` ` n to'do his ut- most :to hve up to the examples set for His Lordsh_ip,;then referred to several prom- inent barristers who had practised in Sim- doe County and mentioned the names of D _Alton McCarthy, Wm.

Sentenced for Assault` The two criminal cases l4aOto do with the same offence, Donald McKay and Fred Clark of Stayner being charged with rape upon an Irish girl employed as a domestic in Stayner. She is eighteenyears of age and had -been in Stayner but three weeks, having come to Canada -a little over a year ago. McKay is a medical student and Clark a farmer and their ages are 24 and 18 respectively. According to the girl s story, they induced -her to go with them in the car by stating that they wanted her to_ go`to a dance at Wasaga Beach. The case against McK-ay was given to the jury at 10.30 Wednesday night and it was 4.45 the next morning before they reached a verdict, nding McKay guilty of indecent assault: When he was arraigned, "Clark quent plea for leniency was made by John Hood on behalf of the prisoners. _His Lord- Sanderson vs. Co. Simcoe This was an action brought by the County 1 of -Simcoe to recover the sum of $1293.75 of certain payments made to F. M. Mont- gomery during 1919 -and 1920. Under the provisions of the Registry Act the refund payable to the County is 90 per cent. of the net earnings for the year 1919 "and 1920, each having exceeded the sum~of $6000. According to the return. for 1919, the ex- pense of the Registry Office for that year was statedpto be $5,354.75, but the plain- tis alleged that it should have been 8687.- 50 less. For 1920 the return showed ex- penses pf $5234.92, which the plaintis al- leged was $750 C more than it should be, . m-aking a dierenpe of $1437 .50 in the two years. The -amountsto which the plaintiffs took exception were those paid to FredcM. ' Montgomery, `who had been Deputy Regis- trar for over `forty years, but had retired owing to ill health and had not been active in the office during those two years. The plaintiffs _.held that if F. M. Montgomery. were retained in an advisory capacity, the defendant should have paid him out of his own pocket; particularly as the defendant , _and deputy are presumed" to be com- petent to perform the duties for which they ' are paid. 'llhe' plaintis held that the pay- . ents to F M. Montgomery were an at-' tem'pt\to superan'-naate him at half his for- mer salary at the expense of the County of Simcoe. i V C It was `shown that Registrar Sanderson and J. W. Mallon,,Inspector of -LegalV0f-l .ces, had -gone to Mr. Montgomery s house and arranged that he be continued -as -an advisory clerk and `be. paid $750 a year, which was half. the amount of the salary he had been ,receiving., In their examina- tion, both Mr. Sanderson and ,M1;.Mallon_' admitted-that Miss McPhee,' the present deputy`, was quite competent` to advise on 21:51 u-nuuu u unvnu The following composed jzhe Grand Jury: Harry W.

The plainti is a movie theatre owner in Orillia, Wilson is the owner of! a pool parlor in`Detroit and French is a gentleman -living` in Or-ilplia; In December, 1920, the plaintiff bought from the defend- ants the Royal Theatre business inO1-illia, paying therefor $850 cash and assuming a promissory note for 8700. Soon afterwards the plainti discovered that the business had not been paying -and had been declining mane wlmout any Knowledge of the County. Mr. S anderson s defence was that he had Mr. Montgomery employed in an advisory capacity for part of 1919 and the year 1920 with the consent `and -approval of the In-5 specter of Legal Offices -and the Attorney- Gener`al of Ontario. 7` W A I 13-11 vn --__-,,,,v V I - -- UL I.-uc uuwe. .
