[Se Cran Despatonxs To Tax Examiner, } RIKL’S TRIAL.
the Evidence for the Preo- secution and Defenee.
RIEL'S INSANITY,
Reena, July 21.
In the Riel trial the case for the Crown closed yesterday mornir g.
George Keer and Edward Walters, store- keepers at Batoche, deposed to Riel visiting their stores and demanding arms and ammunition
Hilliard Mitchell, a Justice of the Peace, has testified that Riel acted from a sort of revenge for being outlawed fifteen years ayo.
Thomes Jackson, Draggist,Prince Albert, brother of the prisoner adjudged insane last week, proved Riel to be the actual leader in the Duck Lake and Batoche fights. The witness thought Riel’s motives were | those of revenge.
General Middleton’s evidence was simply a resume of the campaign. In the cross- examination, Gen. Middleton said Riel talked and acted like a religious enthusiast who was strong on some religious points.
Capt. Young of the Winnipeg field battery testified that Riel, after his capture offered every possible information to assist Gon. Middleton to subdue the Ladiane.
Major Croizer recounted what occurred at Fort Carleton and Duck Lake.
Charles Leonard, who was associated with Riel for some time during the rebel- lion, gave damaging testimony against Riel. The evidence was that Riel’s main object was to get money from the Govern- ment to leave the country. The witness swore to many treasonable acts committed by Riel. In the cross-examination the wit- ness said that Riel frequently acted strange- ly, and said he was to give Ontario to Ire- land, Quebec to Germany, and a part of the Northwest to the Jews.
During the crogs examination a sensation was caused in court by Riel’s insisting upon the examination of the witnesses him- self, which his counsel strongly opposed. Finally the Judge told Riel if he was not satisfied with his connsel he would have to assign other counsel to him. Riel was greatly excited.
This morning Mr. Greenshields addressed the jury for the defence. He recounted the half-breed’s grievances, and blamed the authorities primarily for the outbreak. He said that Riel wasa mad mau, who was in- duced to enter the country by the half- breeds. He would show by witnesses that Riel lost control of his senses shortly be- fore the outbreak and was absolutely un- accountable for his actions.
Fathegs Audore, Phillip, Garnard, and Father Tourman were examined for the defence. The pith of their testimony was that Riel was insane, both in regard to religion and politics.
Dr. Roy gave evidence as to Riel being insane while in Beauport Asylum, and doubted his sanity now.
Dr. Clarke believed the prisoner to be insane.
Dr. Wallace had no doubt of the pri- soner’s sanity, and this opinion was corro- borated by Dr. Tukes.
The case will be continued to-morrow.
British Political Netes.
Lonvon, July 30.
The Salvation Army marched this after- noon to the Parliament House, to present the House of Commons with a monster petitién, urging the immediate passuge of | the Criminal Act Amendment. The peti-| tion had five hundred thousand signatures.
The Government intend to amend the Irish Land Act.
There is trouble in the Tory camp which | threatens to bsing serious result. It was made public this evening that Lord Ran- dolph Churchill declined at the last mument to attend a great Tory meeting at Liverpool, at which he had been advertised as one of the chief speakers. He based his refusal upon the fact that two Tory members of the House for the city of Liverpool had de- clined to support him, owing to the Irish policy of the Oabinet.
The morning Post and Standard both show discontent from the same cause.

Dominion Political Notes. Orrawa, July 31.

Hon. Mr. Costigan was presented with a handsome three-storey brick dwelling house, completely furnished and located in the city, by some of his friends this evening at a banquet.
It is likely that the members of the Gov- ern ent who have left Ottawa will meet the Governor-General on his way from Cas- capedia to Toronto, and that Mr. Thomas White will then be sworn in a Minister of the Crown.
A Desperate Fight for Liberty.
Moscow, July 31.
Sixty criminals were sentenced to exile in Siberia recently. While en route they rose against the guards, and although warned, began a desperate fight for liberty. The battle lasted a long time, and the sol- diers, absolutely unable to conquer them, manacled their assailants. Twenty of them were shot dead. Of the other forty, thirty succeeded in making their escape. Two soldiers were wounded during the fight.

Another Soudan Expedition.
Lonpon, July 31.
The Marquis of Salisbury has ra-opened negotiations with the Porte for a Soudan expedition. Mr. White, British Minister, in an interview at Constantinople, reports that the Sultan is willing to occupy the Eastern Soudan, on condition that part of the cost of the occupation shall be defrayed by Egypt, and the Porte be left with free hands in the settlement of the occupied provinces. The Sultan keenly opposes international control.

The match which the Princess Beatrice has made has not, it appears, pleased all her relatives. Her eldest sister, the Crown Princess of Prussia, does not consider the man she has chosen good enough for her, and her eldest brother seems to be of pretty much the same opinion. This business of
pleasing one’s relatives in the mat@r of marriage is always a difficult and a delicate one, and
is the case of many disagreements and much ill-feeling. But as the Princess Beatrice has pleased the one most con- cerned, videlicet, herself, she can well afford to care very little what her brothers and sisters think of the step she has taken. Besides, as she has the approval of her royal mother, she may think that she was not bound to cousult the likes and dislikes of any other member of her family. The restraints which sur- round royal personages in the very im- pertant matter of marriage make them rather to be pitied than envied, and when ene of them bhappers—as the Princess Beatrice is said to have done—to make a l.ve-match, she is surcly to be congratu- lated. If she is as bappy as,by all accounts, she deserves t» be, she will soon cease to care. much ¢!«ut the disapproval of her fastidious reiutives ou the other side of the Channel.

Additional evidence of the eureriority of the Nova Scotia Mutual is that during the first six months of 1885, 480 new members have been adde’, to whom bonds for $992,000 has been given,
