of the victory lunch pickering was con victed in whitby police court last week of keeping a common gam ing house in allowing a slot machine to be operated on his prem ises and was fined 100 and costs it was his second conviction this year crown attorney a f annis told court as he was fined 50 and costs on may 19 on a similar charge the court ordered the confiscation of the machine a similar charge against george foon mark employ ed as a waiter in the eating empor ium was marked withdiawn chief crown witness against wong was county constable john norton of claiemont who played the machine and won 110 on the evening of december 12 last i dropped in two or three nickels to see if i could bring up the pretty pictures the officer said a young chinaman showed him how to oper ate the machine and after he had dropped in 55c he was told that he won 110 he took me to the cash register and gave me the 110 and marked the amount on the back of a blank cheque which was placed in th legister the officer said later he saw the accused wong who it was alleged admitted that he was proprietor of the place the rest of the officers story was that three other ihiceis corporal oliver and constables iiwin and andrews who had been outside in a car while the game was on came in and the machine was seized the blank cheque with the 110 notation was found in a drawer in the counter beneath the cash legister wong it was alleged appeared on the scene from the kitchen and admitted that he was the pi oprietor the machine however was said to belong to one george fielding a w s greer of oshawa for the accused called the courts at tention to the fact that no warning was given to wong or others on the premises regarding statements that might he made regarding the ma chine he further submitted that the machine did not give out slugs or money and there was nothing on it to indicate that cash wag return able if one got a certain combina tion of animals he could play three games free mr greer submitted that accused was charged with operating a com mon gambling house but there was no evidence that wong was keeper or to link him with the machine the only evidence of a payoff was the isolated instance of george mark who was alleged to have shown the police how the machine operat ed and there was no evidence that mark was employed by or was re lated in any way to wong some proof must be forthcoming that wong was the proprietor or owner or participated in a wrongful act said mr greer whofurther pointed out that norton adtnitted that the machine had no markings of paying out money its operation he claim ed was not that of a slot machine or what was commonly called on the street a onearmed bandit he sub mitted that nortons evidence should have been corroborated the contention of crown attor ney annis that wong by his own admission to officers norton and irwin that he was the proprietor of the place and that mark was the waiter was sufficient to secure a conviction and was upheld by the court which imposed a fine of 100 and costs the best results are obtained from tribune classified advs claremont man new president of markham fair board u vx at a very well attended

clergy reserve funds in whitchurch twp in accordance with a recommen- grievance they provided an econ- dation made in the auditors report oimc grievance they were allotted last year for the township of whit- i such a way that with the crown church the municipal council decid- lands and other lands held out of ed to disburse the clergy reserves funds held by the municipality for the schools and totalling around 15000 of which sum 5000 was handed over tottie schoolsjast fall leaving in round figures another 10000 to distribute since that- distribution whit church council has decided that no further disbursements would be made until direction is obtained from the dept of municipal affairs and this has been applied for it is interesting to note how the municipality obtained from the government monies called clergy reserves actually it is a name applied to those lands set aside in upper canada and lower canada under the constitutional act of 1791 for the support and main tenance of a protestant clergy it was laid down in the act that these should be equal in value to the seventh part of all the lands granted which meant that they were to be oneeighth in value of the whole actually however there was set apart for the clergy re serves oneseventh ot the lands granted out of these lands or the proceeds of their sale the provin cial governments were authorized to erect and endow parsonages and rectories according to the estab lishing of the church of england this provision was interpreted to mean that the phrase a protestant clergy signified the clergy of the church of england in upper canada where the cultivation they interrupted the continuity of settlement and made difficult the expansion of roads the province became a sort of chequer- board in which the black squares represented unimproved lands this economic grievance added to the religious no doubt explains the teelings which the clergy reserves aroused sir john colborne set the match to the powdermagazine by endow ing in 1s36 in upper canada 35 rectories according to the establish ment of the church of england then poulett thomson afterwards lord sydenham came out to can ada in 1s40 and one of his first acts was to attempt to remove the religious grievance he persuaded the assembly of upper canada to pass an act providing for the sale of the clergy reserves and the distribution of- the proceeds among the chief protestant denominations this act was disallowed by the british government and for 15 years the funds continued to be a stumbling block in canadian poli tics the left wing of the reformers came to demand their complete secularization and successive ad ministrations came to grief over their failure to settle the problem finally in 1854 the liberal- conservative government known as the macnabbmorin administration put an end to the long struggle by stealing the clothes of the whigs passing a measure for secularization the church of england and the ajority of the population belonged p retained the endow- to other denominations than the men granted to them church of england this interpretaj w the funds were set aside tion caused trouble from an early for
