Chief Justice Ritchie.

Juper Rircuie has been sworn in Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. He was born in Nova Scotia, where he studied law with his brother, now a Judge in Equity in the sister Province. He repre- sented the City and County of St. John in the General Asembly from 1846 to 185}, and again from 1854 until August, 1850, when he was elevated to the Bench. He had a seat in the Executive for a short period, prior to his appointment as Judge. On the death of Judge Robert Parker, Judge Ritchie became Chief Justice of New Brunswick, a position which he held until October, 1875, when he becaine Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of Canada. The St. John Telegraph remarks that the advance of Judge Ritchie, in every step of his career, was very rapid, and he has been found equal to every position in which he has been placed, and will, doubtless, adorn that to which he has now succeeded.” In fact the appointment seems to give general

satisfaction. SUPREME COURT.

For the Crown the Attorney General and Charles Palmer, Q. C.; for the prisoners, E. J. Hodgson, A. A. McLean and F. Peters.

Tue Arrorney GenerRaL—The prisoners stand indicted for stealing from Neil Mc- Neill, John Bell and John McSwain. While these persons were staying at the Seven Mile House, their sleighs were robbed of groceries suitable for Christmas times and other valuable articles. Search was made for the thieves and two men were discovered to be running away. They were pursued and found to be the prisoners. Afterwards a horse and sleigh driven by the prisoners

back to the Seven Mile House. The prisoners at first denied that the horse was theirs; but after a time Crosby began to cry, and admitted that the horse was his.

To Mr. Hodgson—I do not know how many guarded the premises. know that any ef those on guard laid hands on either of the prisoners. No threats that [remember were made. After they con- fassed there were some talk about a fight. it might have been an hour after they were captured that they confessed.

‘To Mr. Peters—Do not know that Crosby was induced to confess on the ground that |he would get clear if he gave evidence to convict Dockendorf. Do not kuow as Crosby was taken by the throat and threat- ened.

To the Attorney General—-Crosby con- fessed and said he was sorry for taking the things. Dockendorff, after a while, con- fessed that they took the things ; and said that he and Crosby just left town for They were sober. They ran pretty well.

To Mr. Hodgson -I had a few words and blows with some of Dockendorff’s brothers about an election time—Charles, I think. I did not threaten to have revenge on him.

Joux McKinnon, sworn—Corroborated the evidence of Essory, adding particulars of minor importance.

Joux Bett, sworn—To Mr. C. Palmner-- Was present at ‘‘Seven Mile House” on the night in question; and had seven or eight bags taken from my sleigh, together with some cups, saucers, a pound of tea and other articles, of the value of, perhaps, four dollars. I went to search for the thieves, and caught Crosby, who was trying to es- cape me. Essory afterwards caught Dock- endorff. Part of my things were got at George Moar’s, and Crosby confessed that he took them.

To A. A, McLean—Crosby stopped when I got up tohim. I did not take hold of him. He went with me back to the ‘Seven Mile House.’ We stayed in the sitting-room perhaps half an hour. Dock- endorif also came back to the house with George Essory. I asked Crosby to confess. He asked me to say nothing aboutit. I made no promise. I did not hear that Hs- sory made such a promise.

To Mr. Hodgson—I had no scrimmage with any one there. There was a noise in- side the Seven Mile House, and I heard that a man by the name of McKinnon was struck. I don’t know what the row was about. It was before I missed the goods. I don’t remember to have heard threats made either to Crosby or Dockendorff. 1 did not hear that Ronald McDonald is hiding or keeping out of the way.

To the foreman—I was not in McDenald’s at the time of the row.

Newt McNemt sworn—I had plums and currants, tea and sugar, a buffalo robe and other articles taken from my sleigh on Christmas Eve.

[ Witness corroborated foregoing evidence as to the search for and recovery of the stolen articles. }

Crosby confessed to me that he took the things. Ithink he said Dockendorff had no hand in the theft.

The Osborne Case.

On the conclusion of the entries at the Westmoreland County Court, Dr. Tuck arose and said that there were in jail Martha Osborne and Harry Osborne, and on bail Eliza Osborne, indicted for murder, and John Osborne, indicted as an accessory after the fact. After detailing the state the case was in, he said that after consult- ing the Hon. Attorney General and Mr. Hanington, they had concluded to allow Eliza Osborne and John Osborne to go upon their own recognizances, and Martha Os- borne, being a married woman, and Harry Osborne, a minor, on John Osborne enter- ing into recognizance to appear at any Cir-

Tue ArrorNey GENERAL did not wish to prejudice the prisoners. He would rely simply on the evidence adduced. He called—

Grorce Essexy, who was at the Seven Mile Hoase on the night in question, to- gether with Neil McNeill, John McKinnon, John McSwain, John Bell and others. IL saw the prisoners there that night. They came in and asked for a feed of oats for their horse. They got the oats and went out. John McKinmon was present when they got the oats. Idid not see them til after there was a cry that some articles were stolen. The first thing I heard was when the prosecutors came and said their things had been stolen off their sleighs. Neil Mc- Neill, John McSwain and myself went in pursuit of the thieves. We saw the prisoners and headed them. They said they came from! George Moar’s... We went to Moar’s, and found they had not been there. Then we gave chase towards town. Crosby was first caught. We chased Dockendorff till he got within 20 yarilagof the woods. One of us cried out ‘‘Fire at him.” Then he stopped. He asked what we wanted him for, and we told him to go,back to the SevenMile House. We did not tell him particularly what we wanted him for. But when we got back to the house we asked them if they stole the articles. They both denied it. Wo asked them if they had a horse and sleigh. They said ‘‘no.’”” We then went in search of the horse and sleigh. We saw a track from the main road towards Moar’s mill ; and follow- ing it a short distance into the woods, found an old horse and eleigh which we drove

Allow a cold to advance in your system and thus encourage more serious maladies, such as Pneumonia, Hemorrhages and Lung troubles, when an immediate relief can be so readily attained. Boschee’s German Syrup has gained the largest sale in the world for the cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung Diseases. It is Dr. Bosehee’s famous German prescription, and is pre- pared with the greatest care, and no fear need be entertained in administering it to the youngest child, as per directions.

f ROUTS.

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Dear Sir,—We see by your daily of the 16th inst. that the S. again hard up. And now that the reading public are strictly peainet ° — —

apers onl ou oug o se anxlous- ly oeryboay, neeine to look up the DaILy Examutnzur for local daily news and tele- grams from the outer world.

With many others, your correspondent must say that it is really too bad that the Northern Light should. fail up so very early in the season as she has, and _ to do so dur- ing such mild weather. But like the blithe old maids of 80 and upwards, we have hopes of better days. ‘There 1s certainly one fact from which we can draw consola- tion, and that is this (that we read in your Daily of the 16th inst. also), that the mails are now going to be sent via Cape Traverse, which certainly was by nature (ever powerful) destined to be the medium of winter communication with the outer world. It has been the only possible means since our first having winter mails to and from the Island, and, from all experience, must necessarily ever be the route for that purpose. It is now a well known and established fact that any attempt to cross the Straits daily, at any place other than from Cape Traverse, on the Island, to Cape Tormentine, 1n New Brunswick, would be extremely foolish and unprofitable ; and if money was expended in any other place, for the purpose of cross- ing the Straits daily,—or, rather, attempt- ing to,—it would, no doubt, be considered on a par with the building of the Evyptian Pyramids of ancient days. And now that the good and only successful old route, under the trained skill of the world-famed veterans, Messrs. Irving and Muttart— who, like our noble banner, ‘‘have stood the battle and the breeze” of many years— are again being entrusted with that impor- tant duty of carrying our daily mails across the water. We hope that we will again have regular communication—notwithstand- ing the light indication of frost that so sud- denly and effectually moored the Northern Light.

Ere I conclude, permit me to say to the travelling public, through the columns of your everywhere-to-be-seen Daily, that the distance from County Line Station to Cape Traverse is only twelve miles by the road. It only takes from one to one and a half hours to make the journey through a level, fertile country. It was by rail to County Line Station, thence by teams to Cape Traverse, that Honorables Senators Haythorne, Haviland and others went to Ottawa last winter when all other means failed ; and they, as wellas many commercial travellers, pronounced this the most convenient route to the Capes. In view of an increase in the number of peo- ple taking this route there is now being fitted up suitable sleighs for the purpose of taking passengers and luggage. Mean- while there is quite a lot of single teams being held in readiness to drive through on favorable terms. Teams and sleighs can now be had at any time of day or night to drive through to the Capes, and certainly all these facts go strongly to prove the im- mediate necessity of building the branch railway, which is now surveyed, and is only a distance of eleven miles. If now running it could be turned to good and profitable account. Yours, etc.,
