In Owen Sound, on Friday, Mr. A. (,‘r. McKay, M. 1’. P. for North Grey, who was charged with slanâ€" dering‘ Matthew Beekett,aftcr the last general provincial election, was ac- quitted of the charge. The case was tried before a jury and Chief Justice Meredith, and a unanimous Verdict was given for the defence. The alleged slander consisted in Mr. McKay stating publicly that the Conservative Committee Rooms were l-cht open all night previous to the election, that eight or ten white or colored men lay in those rooms drunk or sleeping, and that the whiskey given to a man named Campbell in the committee rooms, had been drugged by Beckett. Campbell swore in ceurt that he had been drugged, and Beckett swore that the charge was absolutely un- true. Mr. McKay said that his state- ments were made in good faith and Were without malice. The case was given to the jurymen who in forty minutes returned a unanimous ver- diet for the defence. Chief Justice Hon. G. W. Ross has said as fan as himself and colleagues are con- cerned there is no foundation for the rumor that a judgeship is to be ofier- ed to Mr. J. J. Foy. The Premier characterizes the story as one cir- culated for political purposes. Mr. Ross says the rumor was circulated probably for the purpose of making it appear either that Mr. Fey was the only Roman Catholic of sufficient note in the Province to merit such an appointment, or that the Domin- ion Government was using the powers of appointment to strengthen the Local Government by the remov- al of Mr. Foy from the field of active politics. Mr. Fey’s continuance in plblic life or his withdrawal from the House is not giving the Premier any concern from a party stand- poin“. Meredith in charging the jury cau~ tioned them about keeping party spiritout of the court. The judge asked the jury to review the whole circumstances. “It would be $311,” said be “if in this country when elections are over, they are over in fact. What good could come of raking up charges, crimination and recrimination.” I: c Fall stock, best Cunndim Refined \VrSL India cam- sugar, in Exu-u Grun- ulutve-d.
