ing yor were never toour place.” He said, “What next?” He was sitting in the wagon with the reins inhis hand. He remained there about half an hour. Power went with him, I next saw Millman in Warren’s barn. I remember that parties called ut our house one night shortly before my sister was lost,

One was Frigzle. They hada horse and rm - a al

wagon. They droevé imto our yatd. They

asked how the sick bey was; also ** were

there many in the house,’ and ‘could they goin.” They asked my father. He said the boy was very low and no one could see him. They asked George Profit to light their pipe. They turned the horse and I did uot know their faces. I turned the light onthem. I knew Frizzle, but I did not kaow Muttart. Cross-examined by Mr. Hodgson—I took the tracks to be those of a man. I saw no tracks of a woman. It was only where the horses had eut up the ground in the spring of the year that T could see any tracks. By the marks in thé hay field, 1 thought one person had walked’ through the hay. The wood taken that night was off Ramsay's land, and I saw the stumps a few days afterwards.

To the Judge—I had to go through the field to pass down through the Mad Road. To Mr. Peters—I don’t know whe cut the trees or when they were cut. They attracted my attention, and I stepped up tothem. The trees were taken away. Ididn't notice the direction.in which they were taken. To the Judge—-The Mud Road going on to the main road has two torks (or branches) which join before we come to thé hay field. ‘SHOMAS CAMERON (sworn) -Examined by the Attorney-General—I live’ at French tiver. 1 took part in the search for Mary Tuplin on the Southwest River. It was I wh» found the handerchief. [Handkerchief shown.)

[Boots showa.} The foot-print was similar to that—[pointiug to the sole.] I saw only ove track representing that sole, leading toward the water.

We met three other peo- ple just aftur we arrived. William Ingles first picked it up and threw it down as use- less; that drew my attention to it. There wa3 to be a search on Thursday night.

Jehu Colson and I came, and while Woeiting we saw the light and heard the spash. I thought it was by the water fence. I con't know who made the splash, It was about half-past twelve o'clock.

fHomAs Power (sworn)—Examined by the Attorney General—I was examined before the Magistrates. I know the prisoner. I live at Eel Creek, Southwest River. Iam a_ brother of Patrick and Francis Power. I have seen

M:ilman at my tather’s house. He lives about half mile away—the third house away. He has often been at our house. I have been at

his. We have always been friendly, I heard that Mary Tuplin was missed on Thursday, the 30th June, I was at Kelly’s Cross. I le*t home on Tuesday, about 2 o'clock p. m. My brother Francia went with me. We got te Kelly's Cross about sundown on Tuesday evening. We were at Mrs. John McMurrow’s, alont two-and-a-half miles from Kelly's Cross, and about twenty-four miles from home. On Wednesday we were at my uncle’s, John Ashton’s,*on South Melville Road. We left or Wednesday evening and got home on Thursday morning, the 30th, about 4 o'clock. We were home on Friday. 1 was home on Seturday torenoon. 1 saw the prisoner on Thursday, the 30tb, about § o'clock a. m. He came just to where we were harnessing a horse by the barn, and then we went to load poles --Francis and Patrick and I. We. went toa road by the side of our farm, called the New Road.

house.” He said, ‘*She has not.” We didn’t say anything more about the matter that i re- member. My two brothers and him walked up by the cart to the back of the farm. He remained there till 10 or 11 o'clock. Then he started to yo away. lL told him before he left to get the work on the road done that atter- noon, Iam Road Overseer for the precinct, and had sold a piece of road in whieh Milliman and my brother hadashare. I said he need not take a horse. So then he left. When 1 came out of the house after dinner Millman was at the door, Pat and 1 went to harness the horses, and when we got the horses har- nessed, Millman held the plough aud I drove the horses till we got to the road. I asked Millman if the girl had been found. He said it was strange about the girl, und perhaps she had gone down to the East of the Island like her other sister, who was away about six weeks. He says t'ere’s something strange about the matter. He said afew nights ayo there was a horse and wayon drove up to the house. ‘Iwo boys were in the wagon. They asked for Mary but her brother Jabez went in and got the light, and when they saw the light they turned and drove oif. He said “James Evans, me and George Hendeisoa tuld him.” I told him that the morniug we were coming home, we met a wagon on the County Line Road with two boys and a girl in it, and [ said, ‘‘ Would it be Mary Tuplin in the wagon?” He said “It might be.” ‘That's all. We parted about haif-past two. We went from the road and I paid him his share of the money for the mending of the road, I afterwards heard that the wagon was running quite different from what I told him.

and his wife. I went to Schurman’s and asked him if he 1emembered the morning of the 30th June.

{Mr. Hodgson here objected to hearsay evi- dence. }

[saw Millman on the same Thursday even- ing at our place. He was opposite the tront door. My brother Patrick and William Miil- man left tegether. They had been by them- selves in the early part of the day. 1 next saw Millman on Friday or Saturday, Satur- day is, [think, the day. We were cutting down bushes, Willigm Millman. came tg the tield and told Patrick to stick to what he had told him. [asked him what it was. Mill. man made no reply, and Lasked my brother what it was, He told me that Millman want- ed him to say thathe seen him on Tuesday evening at the line between Paynter’s and Millman’s. 1 asked my brother if he was there. ide told me he was not. I then told Miliman not to try to draw my brother into anvthing. He said he should stick to what he told him. Millman then left the field. I don't remember seeing him again till I saw him arrested.

Cross-examined by Mr. Hodgson—-] left for Kelly’s Cross on Tuesday, aud stayed there all Wednesday till 5 o'clock in the evening.

George Prorit—( Black Horse) —(sworn)—- Examined by Mr. F. Peters—TI live at Lot 18, about 300 yards from Mr. John Tuplin’s house. Iknow the Tuplin family well. I remember when Mary disappeared. 1 was at Margate that day, but got aan between sun- down and dark, James Woodside, George Clark and Dougald Ramsay were at my house that evening.» They left about ten minutes past ten by the clock. I could not say that she was right. John Tuplin came to my house while they were there. He sat down but did not stay more thun three or four minutes. It was then about half-past nine. After Tuplin left I heard something. I heard two shots. I was then in the house cutting George Clarke’s hair. There was not more than three or four seconds between the two shots, The shots came from the direction of the river. It would be near about 10 o'clock, Woodside was then untying his horse. I heard nothing but the shots, John Tuplin came again about eleven o'clock, and spoke to my wife. Iam not related to either Tuplin or Millman.

Cross-examined by Mr, Hodgson— Woodside did not come in after the shots were fired. The shots were fired about ten o’c!ock. ‘There was not much wind that night, I dou’t kaow the direction it blew from. The sound of the shots came from the east.

Joun Supspury (sworn)—Examined by Mr. Peters, I live at Spring Valley, about two niles from Mr. John Tuplin’s. I know both Tupltin and Millman. I heard of Mary Tup- iin’s disappearance. On that evening 1 was tirst at New London; I came from New Lon- don and made a call at the Church to take home my misses from the meeting. The Chureh is not more thana mile by a straight line from the Southwest River. When I got there the meeting was still in. I tied my horse and talked to a man named Hall. man; and then stood at the Church door till the meeting came ont, when ‘I took my wife home. Before the meeting came out I heard two shots from the d re tion of the Southwest River. That was b tore the Church came out—about fifeeen or twenty minutes before. I don’t know what time { got home that evening.

To a juryman—One shot appeared to be sharper than another.

ANDREW WoopsIDE (sworn)—Examined by the Attorney General—I remember the 28th June list, I was at a lecture at Clifton. I arrived home at twenty minutes to eleven. Myson was with me. IJ hearda pistol shot and a scream or two—or a continuation of one —in which there was a perceptible lowering of the voice. I heard one shot. I was about amiie and three-quarters from home. It was sometime between ten minutes to ten and twenty minutes after. I was walking the horse very slowly. After hearing the shot I commenced to trot the horse, and the noise would perhaps prevent my hearing a second shot. When | heard the shot I thought it might be as far awayas Margate. It seemed tobe in the distance. The sound of the shot was quite clear and distinct. When iheard the shot I was between William Cotton’s and William Ryan’s, about half amile fromthe main river. I would be about a mile and three- quarters from home round by the road. When I got home I looked at the clock ; it was twenty minutes to eleven.

Cross-examined by Mr. Hodgson--It would take about twenty minutes to drive from where I heard the shot to my home. It was very calm that night—a bright, clear night. {I could not hear any word—only just a screech.

Dxstkovep BY Firg.—The barn of Mr. John Driscoll, a well-known farmer of Lot 48, was destroyed by fire on Wed- nesday last, together wlth all its contents, consisting of five cows, one horse, two pigs harness, grain, hay, ete. It appears that one of Mr. Driscoll’s little sons had been playing with lighted matches, one of which fell into the hay and set fire to the barn. Mr. Driscoll was absent from heme at the time, and when the fire was discovered it was too late to save either the barn or its contents. It was with difficulty that the farm house and other out-buildings were saved. Mr. Driscoll has the sympathy of all in his loss.
