Aug 10th On that day Mrs. Reid came into the_bank and presented a note of $46 (the note pro- duced) explaining that Mr. McKeggie was giving her $20 and she was also straighter ing the old note by giving a new note for the full amount. Mr. Beecroft said` that Mr. McKeggie had made the note out. Mrs. Reid said that she had made arrangements with Mr. McKeggie. The witness, how- ever, would not discount the note until Mr. McKeggie returned from dinner. whfreupon she wanted the $20 at once, as she wished to go out of town on the two o'clock train. Her request was not granted and in the meantime he had sent the note up to Mr. Lusty to see if he had endorsed it. Mr. Lusty and Mr. Wedlock swore that they did T not endorse the note. The only evidence for the defence was by Mrs. Reid herself. The jury then retired and brought in a ver- dict of guilty. The sentence of -the court was one month in gaol.

Mrs. Shannon's step-son went to the shanties a year ago this fall, taking a team belonging to Mrs. Shannon. In the spring upon re- turning he sold the team to a Mr. Jolliife for $05. Mrs. Shannon then entered action against Jolliffe to recover possession of the horses which she held were wrongfully taken. Considerable evidence was taken, and judgment was given against Jolliffe as follows :-He must give up the horses and pay $5 damages and costs. " THO Flllllfnlliv Anna an:-n:_..L `II...

The amount was subscribed, and a company formed. The plaintis, it is said, subsequent- lv found the horse was not worth the money, and also that he was not a thoroughbred registered stallion, as they allege he was represented to them to be.
