In another case of petty larceny the jury Were asked: “Do you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty?" Foreman: “Not guilty with a. recommendation that he should be told not to do it again.” The Foreman: “We find the man who stole the mare not guilty.” “My 10rd,” he replied, “I am re- tained by the defendant and there- fore I am ‘concerned’ for the plain- An Irish counsel was once asked by the judge for whom he was “conâ€" cemed.” Counsel (not knowing when he’s had enough): “Yes, yes, had he any imperfections? Did he squint?” Witness: “Yes, he had a bad squint, but not so much as you by a good deal.” Counsel: “What sort of a man was this? Was he good-looking?” Witness: “No, sir, quite the con- trary, just like you only with a better nose!” Counsel: “Now, Miss Smith, did you tell your mother all you did that evening?” Lady (demurely): “Would you, sir? n Counsel, who was a very lively member of the bar, was cross-exam- ining the plaintiff in a breach of promise case. The girl admitted that her conduct on a particular evening was, to say the least of it, unconven- tional. The bar benches were over- crowded. Counsel (to medical Witness, tart- ly): “Doctors sometimes make mis- takes.” Witness: “And so do lawyers.” Counsel (deliberately): “Doctors’ mistakes are frequently buried six feet under the ground.” Witness: “Quite so, and a lawyer’s mistakes often swing in the air.” Witnesses are usually treated with consideration by counsel; but it is by no means rare for a witness to score off counsel who has been a little rash or indiscreet. Prisoner (humbly): “Don’t find fault with me for that, my lord; my wife has been hard enough on me for it already.’.’ Judge: “Prisoner, explain how it is that you stole these worthless articles and left a valuable gold watch and chain at hand untouched.” Judge: “Worse? I should have thought it impossible. What have you done, then ?” » Hoary Sinner: “My lord, I allow- ed myself to be caught.” Hoary Sinner: “Yes, my lord, and worse.” Judge: “Have you committed all these crimes?” The Judge (interrupting): “Mr. Wildey Wright, haven’t you got it wrong? Should it not be ‘Mene, pene, tekel, upharsin’?” Encounters between judges and prisoners are invariably courteous if somewhat sardonic: Wildey Wright (unabashed): “That may be so, my lord, but the principle is the same.” Counsel: In addressing the jury he said, “The prosecution at the last moment has abandoned one of the most dastardly charges against my Yun- fortunate client. They have seen the writing- on the wall ‘Eloi! Eloi! lama sabachthani,.” There are many stories illustrative of the presence of mind of Wildey Wright, a famous criminal lawyer at the Old Bailey during the latter half of the 19th century. He had a. gift of turgid, bombastic eloquence. His knowledge of the Bible was rather inexact. Here is one of his efforts. The bar rocked with laughter. Av»...v‘.u yuucuc an 0. K.

Dated at Toronto, this 6th day of February, 1933. IN THE ESTATE OF WALTER FRANCIS DAVID McCAGUE All persons having claims against the estate of Walter Francis David McCag'ue, late of the Township of Markham in the County of York, Farmer, deceased, Who died on or about the 13th day of November, 1932, are hereby notified to send in to the undersigned on or before the First day of March, 1933, full particulars of their claims. Some excitement was aroused here and on the seventh line last Thursday noon, when Mr. Albert Lister’s house took fire. The neighbors gathered and they were successful in stopping the flames before they reached the main part of the building. However, the kitchen roof and some woodwork were burned. The fire was caused from a spark from the chimney lodg- ing in a shingle on the roof. Reports have it that Mr. P. Spof- fard has sold his farm. We wonder if We will lose our good neighbor. We hope not. The social evening which took the form 1of progressive 'crokinole last Tuesday evening, at Mr. W. Powell’s lwas thoroughly enjoyed by all and ‘largely attended by about 75 in num- 1ber, young and old though we are sure none felt old. It was Valentine night, and the house was prettin decorated with hearts, darts, etc. Af- ter the games, each was given a long red streamer with a heart attached to the end on which was a number, then a search for partners for lunch followed. After a fine lunch was en- joyed, a prettin decorated Fortune Basket was produced, from which each one drew their fortune. This provided a great deal of fun. The prizes were awarded, and of these the consolation prize demanded the most attention which was a rubber doll that squeaked, and although we'll just whisper, it really belonged to Bruce, they all wanted to play with it. This brought a pleasant evening to a close. Mrs. E. Nigh, Mr. and Mrs. J. Wideman motored to Aurora afid New- market visiting in Aurora Mr. Wide- man’s sister, Mrs. George, who had been ill for some time. Mr. T. Popham spent the week-end with Mrs. Popham and daughter, who have been living with Mr. W. Stots lsince the serious illness of Mrs. Stots. Another blow came to this unfortunate family last Thursday when Mr. Stots and daughters, Miss Helen, Mrs. Popham and Mrs. K. Stots were on their way to visit the rwife and mother at the Ontario Hos- pital after receiving word of her very ylow condition, and were about to meet a gravel truck a mile east of Malvern when their car skidded on the ice covered highway overturning in the ditch. The occupants of the badly smashed car suffered from shock and bruises with the exception of Mrs. K. Stots, whose collar bone was broken. Needless to say, the victims of the smash were brought home without the realization of their anticipated visit to the sick mothers bedside. Judging from the appearance of the car we feel that they luckily escaped. Fortunately they were travelling at a. slow rate of speed.

Who wouldn’t belong to the Junior Farmers or Junior Institute? In the joint meeting. a very attrac- ‘tive and [high class program was presented consisting of: A solo, “How to Make Love,” by our comed- ian, Sam Davidson; a humorous de- bate, “Resolved, It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all,"’ in which the affirma- tive was upheld by James McDonald and Gordon Bagg and the negative by Robert Julian and Bruce McDon- ald.

A very in- teresting and educational lecture on bot flies was delivered to the young farmers by Dr. LeGard of Weston, and it was decided that something should be done to exterminate them. An open discussion followed in which the speaker answered many questions for the knowledge-seeking boys. “Historical Research,” was ‘the subject of the girls program, and the roll call was answered with places of historical importance or relics. The convenor of the program, Miss Mary Constable, gave a paper on “The Origin of Yonge Street.” Miss Ag- nes McLean read a paper on “Vau- ghan Township.” The history of an “Automobile” was given by Miss Audrey McNaughton. Miss Margar- et Watson taught the girls a song. A paper on St. Valentine was given by Louise Carson.

The Judge remarked: “These are all very bad witnesses, very bad indeed. Have you got a good one ?” Counsel: “Yes, my lord.” Judge: “Then call him at once; if you keep him any longer he will go bad like the rest.” Success isn’t so difficult.
