The Scott Act Cases.

Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court yesterday, ten Seott Act cases were dis osed of. The first case was dismissed ;

he second postponed for one week ; the

hird (first offence) fined $50; the fourth tirst offence) $50; the fifth (second offence) s100: the sixth (second offence) S100 ; the

eventh (tirst otfence ) $50: the ei¢hth post voned for one week ; the ninth dismissed ; he tenth (third offence) two months’ im irisonment.

_ Mr. F. Peters, who appeared as counsel for the defendants, in relation to the case exposing for said : (1) 119 of the Canada Temperance Act, owing o its peculiar wording, cannot be held o apply to Charlottetown , and that sec- ion being the only one under which a per son can be punished for exposing for sale,

he defendant must be discharged ; no pro- secutions under that section have been ittempted in Canada—-the section is only ipplicable to the Temperance Act of 1884. ”) Although the Canada Temperance Act 1as been declared valid in’ prohibiting the ra viries of the Dominion Par-

sale, itis wif

levision of the Privy Council given in the

vase of Russell and the (Jueen. (4) As re- rards the summonses issued m all these ten ises they are defective inasmuch as _ the

name of the prosecutor does not appear in hem as required by section 101 of the Canada Tempe ance Act. (Dd) That the Magistrate is incapacitated from trying these™ cases, because he is practically at

‘same time the prosecutor and the judge inasmuch as his salary is payable out ol he funds of the city; and these Scott Act

ines being the property of the city under he recent Order-in-Council, he had an_ in- erest in collecting the fines. In one of

the eases the evidence was that the Macgis- trate had instructed the Marshal to lay a wrosecution for exposing for sale. By this Act the Magistrate had incapacitated him-

self from trying the ease; as also by his instructing the police to lay prosecutions igainst three whose names were mentioned as selling liquor in the evidence riven in the Power case.

On all the points raised, except those in f exposing for sale, the Magistrate

others

the case of lecided against the objections as raised by defendant's counsel—-the case for exposing standing over for judgment. With regard being prosecutor as well as judge, the Magistrate said that he did not deem him-

o his

self incapacitated from trying these cases m that account, for although he did

lirect the police to lay these prosecutions varticularly he did so in order that an ap- arent breach of the law which came lirectly under his notice sitting as Magis- rate,might be heard and adjudicated upon. Not only in these cases, but in all other ases where it was brought to his notice as Magistrate that an offence had been com- nitted he felt it to be his bounden duty to see that prosecutions were laid, and this lid not in any way interfere with the im- partial discharge of his duty, sitting judici- ally to try these cases.

Mr. Peters gave notice that he would move for a certiorari in all these cases to juash the convictions, and suggested to the

Court that a test case or cases might be agreed to.

The Magistrate said that inasmuch as now the whole control of the Scott Act

ines was, by the recent Order-in-Council, ziven to the City Council, it was not in his ower to make arrangements regarding the ‘ucure proceedings in these cases. He had given his judgmerifts and these judgments would be carried out unless the convictions

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND,

Right Rev. Dr. Melntyre, Roman Catholic Bishop of Charlottetown, Prince fdward Island, has been spending the

A DESCRIPTION OF

past week with the Christian Brothers at the Sacred Heart College. Bishop Mg Intyre’s visit to California is partly a

pleasure trip, partly for the sake of health, and partiy for the purpose of seeing his relatives and renewing the ties of friendship with many old members of his flock resid- ing in the Golden State. The Bishop, who is accompanied by two of his priests, the Rey. Fathers Gillis and McDonald, is a refined and cultured gentleman of the old school, and though apparently considerably past 69, is still as hale and hearty as many men considerably his junior.

SCOTCH EXILES.

‘Out of a population of 120,000 in Prince Edward Island,” said the Bishop in conversation with a Chronicle reporter, ‘* there are 50,000 Catholics; out of these the majority are of Scotch descent. You see in 1782 and since then there have been several exoduses of Scotch highlanders expatriated after the massacre of Glencoe or expelled from thelr homes by the land- lords, like the Scotch crofters of the present day. The greac Catholic Clans—the Mc- Donalds, the McKinnons, the MeNeills and the McIntyres—emigrated in a body and settled in the lower provinces of Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island, and it has been recently estimated that of the Catholics in these lower provinces there are 150,000 of Scotch extraction, the Acadians coming next with 100,000 and then the Irish, fol- lowed by other nationalities.

“Oh, yes,” said Father Gillis in answer toa question, “tthe Islanders still retain all the old traits and characteristics of the Highland Gael. They are a simple, gener- ous and hospitable people, andl may say that all the older inhabitants speak Gaelic. Indeed, in Cape Breton the sermon is preached every second Sunday in Gaelic.”
