I1`)-egu1a1'it_V in Pay Sheet Leads in Sl.a11(101'ous Remarks. Ten witnesses were called in the slander case, in which Chas. Sulli- van was awarded $50 damages against J. P. Fitzgerald, in the County Court last week. Both men live in Medonte township. Sullivan was formerly deputy-recve and Fitz- gerald is a large land owner living at Mount St. Louis. Pin-11+ uvifnnccnz vvnvn nnllnrl liv at M.011l'lIZ SE. LOUIS. Eight witnesses were called by the plaintiff and two by the defend- ant. Fitzgerald had called Sullivan a rogue, a liar, and said he was dis- honest and should be doing time. Padded Pay Sheet Irregularities in a pay sheet made out according" to SulliVan s directions formed the basis for Fitzg'e1'ald s statements. The pay roll in question showed $45 as having been paid to R. Haines, a man employed by Sulli- van for 1`oa(l\v01'k, which Haines had never done. The explanation given by Sullivan is this. 4.1.! \J\4v yuu... In order for the township to get 21 Government grant offered for this roadwork the work had to be done, the payroll made up and pa_\'ment made before October 31. It was found that owing" to inability to get the men who were to do the work that the job would not be com- pleted b_\' the set time. Sullivan then su_L'g'ested to the foreman that to get the grant for the remainder of the roadwork, and to get funds to pay Dr. T_\'re1`, whose car was damag'ed on a Government road, that R. Haines be put down as having done roadworl: for $45. \Vith the money so obtained Dr. Tyrer was paid 828.50 by Sullivan, althou.4`h the Council had refused to reco;z'- nize the claim. The remainder was paid to the men who completed the work on the road. "I"l~.-\ lulu!-C4` u-nn\.nunn>nil luv XV worn on me road. The plainti , represented by W. A. Boys, I\'.C., endeavoured to show uthat the irregularit_v was free from dishonesty on his part, since he had received no money, and also that Fitz;>;erald s statements were made with the malicious intent of pre- venting Sul1ivan s election as Reeve. Defendant Does Not Deny Arthur G. Slaght, I{.C., of To- .i'onto, assisted by J. T. i\Iulcah_v, Orillia, appeared for the defendant, and attempted to prove that the ir- rr:y:ulz11'ity was criminal and punish- able with imprisonment, and that Sullivan acted dishonestly. Fitzger- ald made no attempt to deny having `made the statements. Foreman Gives Evidence Wilfrid Johnson, the foreman in cliargie of the roadwork under ,Sullivan, and the author of the pay- 'roll, was the first witness called. He explained the i1're_2`u1a1'it_v, sa_v-{ in_e` that as the work was incom-; plete when the roll was made up,` the work was entered as having` been .done, to avoid making out a second` later pay she<.-t. Men had been ap- ;pointed to do the work and in the event of their not doing: it, Hainesi would have been given the job. Sullivan Never Got a Cent Johnson took his oath that Sulli- van had never received a cent of money. The work was done by the appointed men, who were paid for it.

To a query from Mr. Slaght he said Coun- cil was unanimous in their decision not to pay Dr. Tyrer and that Sulli- van was present. The refusal was never reversed by Council. i No Action by Council Fitzgerald had appeared before the Council and lodged a complaint about Sullivan paying` Dr. Tyrer as he did. The Council took no action, and Fitzgerald, made the alleged slanderous remarks. Should Be Doing Time Craig Craig of Craighurst swore that Fitzgerald said Sullivan should be doing` time, and that there was an item of $45 on the payroll pay- able to Haines, with Sullivan`s team, which had never been on the job.

Mr. Boys then read Fitzgerald's sworn statement taken in an ex- amination for discovery some time previous. In this Fitzgerald ad- mitted having interviewed Crown Attorney Cotter with a view to hav- ing` SL1lli\ z1n prosecuted. He didii t know whether Sullivan had re- ceived the money or not. He ad- mitted that the effect ments would be to spoil Sullivan's election prospects. It was brought out that the two men had previous disputes, one over a line fence and another over FitzL`erald s statute la- bour, which Sullivan, as councillor, insisted on beings: done. This matter was aired in the Division Court. Fitz- gerald said lie had been annoyed by of his state- `Sullivan s action in ciittiiii: some trees.
