TIT.-\ nnun-nnbnlnn tkn nnnnlp nu fkn UULIBS. VVe congratulate the county on the coinvparatively few criminal cases laid before us. Only two cases were sulbmitted for our consideration, both being of the far too frequent occurring tragedies, automobile ac- cidents." In one case a true bill was returned. In the other we did not deem sufcient evidence was pro- duced before us to warrant the re- turn of a true bill and no bill was returned. We regret the misunder- standing arising out of our return of the indictment of one McKerrow. The facts are that the evidence" which the Crown had available (nine witnesses in al-l), the Crown st.a.tIng that the three remaining witnesses were really unimportant, munely, Dr. Lewis. the nurse who attended the injured in the hospital. and the constable. So that we were given to understand that we had all the evidence of importance and rendered our decision accordingly. T6 in nnnnllinrr tn nrn\QiIh-r Han fnll It is appalling to consider the toll of death caused by the use, or mis- use. of the automobile. and We strongly urge that 1e.;is`1ati0n be en- acted whereby the license of o1`-- fenders be cancelled covering a. period of time according to the de- gree of carelessness. luux llt.`Cl'.SlU1l zu:uu1'uu15L_v. . .

This play needs no introduction to Barrie theatre goers, as they will rememtber it was played here about ten years ago by a noted New York cast. Mr. Nelson H. Belll has been engaged to produce the play under his direction, and the reports from Midland, Orillia, Gait, Renfrew and other places where this play has been given are most commendalble. A company of 100 people will take part. Special scenery and costumes are used, and altogether the Royal Chef should prove a. very attractive addnitaion to Barrie amateur theatri- cals.

He was married to Mrs. Prid- hani, a war widow, in October, 1921. He knew the defendant and was aware that he was on in'tim:ate terms w-ith his wife at the time he married. Late in the fall of 1921 he moved to Tottenham, but his wife would not go with him and remained in Alliston till the follow- ing spring. She went to Tottenham in the spnimg of 1922 but was not contented there and made frequent tniips back to Ailiston, and in a few months moved back to Alliston. About three weeks after she went hack to Alliston the plaintiff went one evening to her home and found Stephenson there with her and mak- ing love. He listened at a window and lien-rd his wife say Don't. hug` me so tight, Bob. On another oc- casion when plaintiff came unex- pectedly he found his wife and; Stephenson on the couch iiuggingi and leissiiig. He went in and had` .a talk with Stephenson and the de-: fendant promised to keep away. Some time later when the plaintii`t`i came to .-\l1iston he found that his wife and Stephenson were both, ':4\\`n\` Nnvt ux thnv rvnf rift` tho` By-law to Coi1struct.

R-eeve Filsher declared that there was no better advertisement for a. town than a row of cars alongside the street. But what I do object to," continued the Reeve, is to see two cars albreast and a policeman walli- ing along and saying nothing. 1 was called upon in Orillia recently to park 1l1`,V car properly. It was suggested that mot:orists be asked to park their cars on Collier St. You can't get people to move to Collier St. The police are absolute- ly asleep, said Aid. Wai1=win. The question was raised as to how the merchants feel concerning the park- ing of cars in ninont of their stores. in reply it was pointed out that the merchants a1'e 3. little timid in ex- pressing their .iews for fear 0t'1os- ing trade. I~`i.-st Deputy-Reeve Pat- terson felt that there should be a limited time given for parking. .-\ld.

Running 13;, a 5-0 Victory at, Alliston. -Barrie stayed in the running for the chamipionshvitp of the So-uth Sim- coe League when they handed A1- liston a coat of whitewash on Fri- day atfternoon last. Besides keep- ing in the running themselves the locals prevented Altliston from clinch- ing the pennant in three straight games. As things stand now it all depends on to-da-y s game whether Alliston takes the ag or whether another three-cornered scrap will have to be staged to declare a win- ner. Barrie contributed her hit on Friday. If Ivy turns the same trick to-day, Alliston, Ivy and Bar- rie will be as far ahead as they were before the play-off started.

It is rathet peculiar, but neverthe- less true, that Barrie always plays better ball away from home than at home. Losing both games at home in a ehampioniship play off is almost a. climax. \Vinning two games a;\va_v from home is, well, words fail. W'hether it is the atmosphere or not, the locals invariably play in and out ball on the home sand lot, but almost as surely play sparkling ball on an outside eld. I-`rida_v's game, while not the lightest game of the sea.son by any means, was a twhriller from start to nish, and any lessening of vigilance on the part of the Barrie ball tossc-rs would have been more than taken advantage oi` by the All-iston slug- gers.

I understand from your report that the Misses Beardsley are about to retire and I sincerely hope that they will receive appropriate recogni- tion of their long and faithful ser- vim: Seniors Trim Camp Borden 9-6; Juniors 8-6 Tin Over Ponefang. The High School 1'ugb,\' artists started the season in the right way on SZ1'[l1Tda}' when the juniors trounced Penetang 8 to 6 and the seniors handed Camp Borden :1 9 to 6 licking. It was the rst game that most of the plztyers had taken part in and their initial pet`1`01'mancc was most creditaibl. The \\'ea.ther was just right for playing rugby, al- though 1|, wind from the north made it hard for the team dei`end.ing the! south Ioiichline. However, no ad-' Vaiitage was taken of this fact 1)} either team, and so it gtired but, little in the play. ! n_n_ Both B211'rie teams were colxsider-I ably ou1.wei};hed, but that seemed; to umke little diffe.x'eoce. Although the line was too heavy to buck con- sistently. they went Z1l'OUI1d the 011119, for good gains. All the players on` the junior team played good ru`bg_\'. Pete Hall, captain and quarter, had to m_o1d a team from raw material and the play on Saturdzty showed! that he has done the job well. 139-! sides engineering the play, he pull-1 pd Mi` 2 nmmln nl ninp runs and in LU lllLllu it lt"Ll(ll JFUUI lLlr\V lll2,|Llflld!| Be- pull- ed off a couple of nice runs and iv, addition, some tleatlly tztclcling. A1- vin Luck and R-oger \Vilson were also much in the Limeligltt in the tackling department. The whoTe backeld division pla.yed sterling 1`tt.;by, and although rather light, made nice gains arountl the ends. Alvin Luck, besides proving :1 dead- ly tackle. scored six of the eight .po.ints.

At her death in 1900 the present occupant. Miss Caroline Beardsley. succeeded her, and for the past. twenty-tltree years, with the assistance olf her sister and her weltl-known brother, the County .VIessenger, who were all born in the buriltling they now occupy. have rendered faith-ful service to the county.
