ge A Curious Conspiracy.

EXTRAORDINARY TACTICS TO GET RID OT UN- WELCOME BOARDERS.

After che close of the last Parliament in Ottawa Mr. J. G. Alwyn Creighton, law clerk of the Senate, came to Montreal] to practise his profession during the recess in connection with an eminent law firm, of which he isa member. He brought his wife anc. a domestic servant with him. He engaged a suite of furnished rooms and private board in the aristocratic quarter of Metcalfe street in the mansion of Mr. John Fulton and his wife. Domestic affairs seemed to proceed along smoothly enough, there being very little intercourse between the parties until a few weeks since, when Mrs. Creighton’s servant girl was requested by Mrs. Fulton to remain at home upon a certain evening to allow her domestic to have the pleasure of goimg out. To this demand Mrs. Creighton’s female help would not consent, and when her mistress was ap- pealed to she justified the young woman's refusal. This apparently simple incident is said to have been the origin of the alleged.

VINDICTIVE PERSECUTION

that was subsequently pursued. The day after this passage occurred Mr. Creighton received a formal notice to leave the pre- mises. Ho said he would when his month was up, on the 8th of January, but not until then. This did not seem agreeable to his Boniface, who insisted upon a sum- mary eviction of his tenant. Such a per- emptory mode of procedure Mr. Creighton probably thought might do for Ireland or the Scottish Highlands, but not for this free Canada, where he was born. He de- murred to the demand, and both he and his wife have resisted with heroic courage and fortitude all illegitimate means to force them into compliance. The first of the series of contemptible attacks which have culminated in the principles and their alleged abettors getting themselves into the meshes of the criminal Jaw was to cut off the hot air in the basement, which made all the rooms above hardly habitable. This was what may be termed

FREEZING OUT.

The scheme fortunately cut both ways, by depriving the other inhabitants of the dwelling, equally with the obnoxious lady and gentleman, of warmth. The device therefore recoiled upon its authors, and proved an abortive method of eviction. The freezing mode not proving 4 success, the next attempt was to put on steam at the very highest pressure, so as to make the upper rooms intolerable from fever heat. This might have sueceeded, but for the ventilators in the windows being left open to regulate and reduce the temperature to a proper degree. ‘The wily schemers next resorted to

refusing to send up the regular meals as for- merly. Mr. Oreighton was again equal to the occasion, for he had still more recherche board sent up daily from a superb culinary establishment in the immediate neighbor-

of their long-suffering guests, by positively |

VOL.. 12.---NQ,, 47." hood. This latter mode was the third grand failure of all the forces at work, but the conspirators were apparently. resolved to harass ‘their stubborn ~ ledgers further. Taking advantage of the. tem- porary absence of Mr. and Mrs. Oreighton from their chambers, the furniture in the boudoir was removed. This was to give the coup de grace to the indomitable pair of sufferers, but it was equally futile with all the other schemes, as Mr. Oreighton had some of his own furniture, which was stored in the city, brought in to replace what had been surreptitiously taken away. Now comes the apex of all these bold and dexterous operations to oust the unwelcome guests. It*was by far the most reprehen- sible and disgusting, as it caused, it is said, painful suffering to Mrs. Oreighton. Find- ing all the previous desperate expedients resorted to entirely fruitless in theirobject, the nanteen plan of procuring a large quan- tity o ro

with other obnoxious compounds, jwas thought of. They were obtained, and placed upon a shovel, set on fire, and the fumes exhaled from this offensive mass were blown up the funnel that conveyed the hot air to the room where the guests were seated. Mrs. Oreighton was nearly suffocated before she or her husband knew whence the vapour came. On rushing down stairs Mr. Creighton found all the peruse subsequently arrested enjoying the un by dancing round the stove like the witches in Macbeth. This last episode occurred on Saturday, and the male victim of this horrid persecution immediately pro- ceeded to his attorney, Mr: 8. Greenshields, and placed the matter in his hands, with instructions to consult Mr. Edward ¢ , Q. C., as legal adviser. Under the guid- ance of that eminent leader in what is un- doubtedly a novel and intricate case infor- mations were prepared and laid before the police magistrate against the following parties for conspiracy to do an illegal act— Mr. John Fulton, of 147 Metcalfe street, tenant of the house ; Mrs. Fulton, his wife, and her sister, a young lady; this maid- servant ; also Messrs. John McLean ‘and Polan, boarders. The case has excited much attention in Montreal, and the result is looked for with interest.

J: is reported that a manuscript of Lord Bacon has been found in the Harleian collection in the British Museum, which was used as @& common. place book by him ; and it is asserted that the quotations in it are notto be found in any of Bacon’s works, while they are all in the plays attributed to Shakespeare.” If this turn out to be true, it will be. strong evidence for the supporters of the Baconian theory.

The Prince of Wales received as a Christ- mas present, a ten-inch shell, mounted on a wooden stand and bearing this inscription ; ‘Presented to H. R. H. the Prince of Wales, by Admiral Lord Alcester, G. C. B., as a souvenier of the bombardment of Alex- andria, July 12th, 1882. Came through the port side of her Majesty’s ship ‘‘Alex- andria,” above armour, passing through torpedo lieutenant’s cabin, struck combing of engine room, and rolled along main deck, when Mr. Harding, gunner, put it in atub of water, for which he received the Victoria Cross.”

While speaking of Golden Weddings our attention has been directed to the case of the McLeod family at West River, Pictou Co., N. S. Three brothers, Hugh, now in his eightieth year, Daniel in his seventy- sixth, and Anthony, are living on adjoining farms with the wives of their youth, having been united, the first for 34 years, the second for 50 years, and the third for 48 years. Wemay mention that the first two, with their brother William of Mount Thom of the same district, were among the 12 who in the year 1827 formed the first Tem- perance society in the Dominion.—New Glasgow Chronicle.

Judge O’Brien, in pronouncing sentence on Thomas Higgias on the 17th ult., for the murder of the Huddys, made use of the following words:— ‘‘Your unhappy fate affords a terrible lesson and example to all those aiding secret and wicked confederacies from which this crime has arisen. Those confederacies have but one issue—crime ; and crime has also only one issue-——punish- ment and death, All these conspiracies will come to an end. The law will be vin- dicated sooner or later, but certainly and finally. The whole web of crime will be unravelled at the last and those who commit crime will find themselves involved in punishment.”

The Gazette, of Birmingham, England, describes the aluminum works of Mr. James Webster, at Hollywood, wnich have cost about $150,000 and produce a ton of alumina within one week at a cost of less than $500. But the orders outrun the capacity of the works twenty times. Mr. Webster produces ‘‘pure alumina, which is afterwards converted into chloride of ‘alumina, from which in turn the metal is ‘extracted by the ordinary process of fusion ‘with sodium.” In this way, iron and silica \are got rid of, and some valued by-products ‘are saved, especially certain blue dyea in- ‘tended to rival indigo. Aluminum is finally alloyed with copper, silver or other metals, and produces a compound which is light and does not corrode. The article in ithe Gazette states that a French company has offered Mr. Webster: over $1,200,000 for his right in France alone, and that similar sums have been offered by Belgian, German and American houses. - Mr. Web- ster has secured patents wherever such are

issued.
