This calumny he "ably refuted, and during the delivery of his few caustic stictures onhis sccusers he was repeatedly and enthusiastically clieered. `All that he_ hnrlsaid was,`that the books, maps, and other schooliappnrutus, which had been formerly made in England, were now made in Canada and sold at much lower rates, and were ner articles at that. If this be protection, then we sayuthe, more the merrier, but if we understand the term aright, `it means to make us buy an artic1e'ofiiorne manu- facture at at higher rate than we would it foreign article.` We certainly think the_ idea, was .3, good one, tomanufacture our own appara.tns.; even if wehud to pay the same price, the country is n gainer by the operation.

The learned Judge, however, appeared to differ with Mr, Mchlichael and said, that thewords omitted were prescribed -by statute` and must therefore have some signicance in meaning in themselves. V It was then contended by the plaintiffs as their last point, that if the last J` Bill of Sale was even void, as against creditors, ` that still it was good as between the plainti`s and Lee, and that if Lee had been himself the owner a of this property he might have brought an action against the Sheri` for selling it, because it was contrary to the instructions-of Boulton 8: McCarthy who were agents forlelliwell, solicitor" for the . Bank, and that the Sheriff being bound to obey the instructions of the plaintis to sell the pro- perty of the defendant Fraser, it was a trespass upon Boulton it McCarthy to sell thehproperty of Lee, they, by their Bill of Sale, standing in his shoes. In reply to `this Mr. Helliwell was placed in thebox by Mr. Hopkins, and hegswore that he _ did appoint Boulton &'M_c0'arthyas his `agents, _ bnt_ that before the sale took place in reply to_ a telegraphic message from the Sheri , and inding` that it was a light between two defendants, he telegraphed to the Sherif to act in the matter as he saw fit..
