(sworn) gave evi

dence explanatory of a survey and plan of |

the locality made by him on the Ist July, and also reported the soundings. He found

the total fall of tide from high to low to be seven feet two inches. At the lowest spring tide the |

soundings onthe bed referred to. varied from ten inches to four feet seven inches. This was the depth at the bush pointed out by Shaw. At three stakes which Mr. Shaw put down the soundings were: (a) three feet, (b) two feet one imeh, and (c) one foot one inch. Mr. Shaw elaimed that he was locating oyster bed» there. The soundings were taken about fifty feet from the channel. IT asked Shaw at what point of his farm he could see the Cove. He said he would show me and I went with hin: to a spot on his farm whence I could see the water off MeKenzie’s Point. I could only see stake No. 5 and Shaw’s bush. Some trees hid stake No. 6; I could not see stake No. 4 and the others. I saw some other parts of the water in the bay,

but could not tel! at what point. I could not get a good view on account of the trees. I don’t know whether the water I

saw was in the channel or on the flats. It would be hard to distingnish stakes at that distance. It would be 334 chains from where | stood on Shaw’s farm to stake No.5. Ihadto stand ona fence to see the water. I could have #een a boat on the water in view if one had been there. The trees obscure the view. Shaw wanted me to go back again at seven o’clock and take the men with me. It was then late and I did not go.

too

Cross-examined by Mr. Stewart—One of

the men who was with me placed the stakes. I could tell by the way the pole struck the mud when the hard bottom was reached. In the evening, I saw a person fizh out some thing with his hands. 1 could not tell what they were.

James McLean sworn (examined by the Attorney-General).—I remember the 20th of August. I intended crossing the Me- Kenzie Creek that evening, but found I could not do so. The tide was too far in and [ had to go round. There would be two feet of water in the river flats before there would be water on the bar. I can’t tell the exact time. It was about dark when I left home.

Joux W. McFapyewn (sworn).—I remem- ber the day on which the oysters were said to have been fished. I was stumping on the south side of the river, back on my

own place. I could see that the MePhees were cutting and binding grain. I never

tixhed oysters in Lamont’s Cove, and have never seen anyone else fishing there. 1 have dug mud there but never found any oysters. I was down on the shore.

To Mr, Stewart.—I gave evidence before am not little

good friends with Shaw. It is a while since I spoke to him.

Joux D. McFapyex.—I remember the evening of the 20th of Angust. I was eut-

| ting grain on the north side of the road.

We worked late in the evening—till sun- down or after. I then went down towards the shore to see my stock across the river. I stopped at the bank on Lamont’s land and saw my stock. I looked at the river. The flats were covered with water. I could see the channel at Lamont’s Cove and could see McPhee’s shore. I saw the boat that-evening. The boat was at an old slip, within a yard or two of the bank.

I never saw a man fishing oysters off | Lamont’s Cove. I used to fish oysters, but never in Lamont’s Cove.

boat. She was neither planed nor painted. There were no stains on her, nor any signs that she had been used in fishing

oysters, After the proseention of Shaw I had a conversation with Shaw. I met him this side of MePhee’s Creek, That was before I had given my evidence to the Magistrate, and after I gave evidence be- fore Mr. Hackett. Shaw caught up to me

| passed Shaw’s house.

Cross-examined by Mr. Stewart—I did not put in any grain that evening. Mr. Shaw got that into my evidence before Mr. Hackett through strategy. I was stooking or binding until about sundown. I did not see MePhee’s boat while I was stooking or binding.

James Lamost (sworn}—Examined by the Attorney-General—I remember the August quite distinctly. We were entting wheat im the forenoon. In the afternoon we bound and stooked. After tea we took in a load of hay seed and then went down to the shore to cut round a We knocked off just about sundown. When working in the lower field we could see the channel opposite Lamont’s Cove. I could see the shore, but not up to high water mark. The tide was

| coming in and there was about half tide

when we left there. I saw no one fishing in the Cove that evening. I know where the mussel beds are and could see them from the field. There was no boat there. If there was a boat there it could not es- cape my eyes. T could not see the place where the boat was tied. After leaving work we went home about 20 chains away. We drove eastward to Long Creek and It was just dusk, not dark. I saw Mr. Shaw inside his gate in the lane going toward his own house. I have no doubt about this. it became dark in a very short time.

Cross-Examined by Mr. Stewart — I never saw the mussel beds bare off La- mont’s Cave.

Avex. S. McPuee (recalled)—To Mr. Peters.—My wife was examined before the Magistrate. She is not able to attend here now; she is unwell, having lately been confined.

Monrrea, July 3.

The Star cable says: London, July 3.— Lord Aberdeen was much gratified with the reception accorded him at the Do- minion Day dinner here Saturday night. He was anxious, he said, that it should be thoroughly understood that in going to Canada ine fully recognized the duty of a governor general was to abstain from all party politics. He and Lady Aberdeen were both earnestly desirous to realize and fulfil the duties of the position in its high- est sense. Sir Charles Tupper in his speech yigoronsly defended Canada from the charge of neglecting imperial defence and other duties. The Marquis of Ripon, who followed Sir Charles, paid an elo- quent tribute to the memory of the late Sir John Macdonald. Owing to a slight illness, Sir Donald Smith, who is in London, was unable to be present at the dinner.

N. B., was here on Monday, the guest of Senator Howlan.

Mr. Henry O'Meara, formerly of Char- lottetown and now of Boston, was the poet on the occasion of the unveiling of the statue to Adm ral Farragat.

Query? Was it for corporal punish- ment that Mr. W. L. Strickland was chosen to respond to the toast of “The Ladie=,” at the banquet last night ?

Among the passengers who left Char- lottetown yesterday to join the Miramichi at Summerside, was Madamoselle LeBel, returning home for the holidays. Madam- oselle Lebel has for the past year filled the position of teacher of modern languages in Miss Russell’s school for girlx, and has made many friends here who will weleome her return.

Admiral Tryon, who was lost in the Victoria, was a descendant of Governor

Tryon, the last royal governor of New York, who took so active a part against the Americans during the war of the revolution. It is

now stated that Admiral Tryon admitted the fault of the collision in which the Victoria sunk was his, the movement which was being attempted being impos. sible in consequence of the nearness of the vessels to each other.

No person runs the slightest risk in- passing her along as the queen of elocution, the most gifted woman of her art that has been abrood in many a day—Central Canadian, Carlton Place, March 3, 1892. At the Lyceum to-morrow night, July 6th. :

A Farratess Wire.—A man named Charles Bartlett, belonging to Portland, Me., arrived in Moncton on Monday in search of his wife, who had eloped with a | trnckman named Charles Donovan.
