FEBRUARY 7, 1879.

The Ontario Provincial Legis'ature.

Tue Provincial Legislature of Ontario has been in session for some weeks. As is usually the case in representative asssem- blies, the strife of party takes up a large portion of the time; and most of the speeches thus far are either elaborate criticisms on the conduct of the Govern- ment by Opposition members, or lengthy defences by its supporters. Early in the session, the Hon. Mr. Morris (late Govern- or of Manitoba, but’ now member for Ter ontv) moved an amendment to the Address, which was negatived by the Government by a vote of forty-one to thirty-two— there being fourteen members absent. Subse- quently another amendment was proposed by the Hon. Mr. Meredith, leader of the Conservative minority, which was lost by a majority of fourteen. This may be taken a3 the relative strength of both parties in the present House — the Conservatives, under the Hon. Mr. Meredith, numbering abont thirty-six, and the Liberals, under the Hon. Mr. Mowatt, fifty-two, in a House of eighty-cight members.

The principal questions that have come up for discussion are the reduction of the ‘‘indemnity of members” and the “‘ cun- stitntional question ” arising from the de- sire of the Government to prolong the ex- istence of the House beyond the time which the Conservatives consider to be the legal termination of the present Parliament. Four years seems to be the legal term for the Local Legislature ; and that period ex- pired on the 2nd of February. The Gov- ernment, however, contend that the House was not constituted until seven or eight months after the General Elections, as the District of Algoma, for which there are special laws, was not represented until September of the same year! It seems as if the letter of the law permitted the pro- longation, but the spirit and intention of the law are with the Opposition, who de- mand an immediate dissolution.

The question of the indemnity has caused @ great deal of discussion. It is likely that the amount will be reduced before the end of the session, although the Gevernment voted against the proposition in the answer to the Governor's speech. At present the amount is $800, and the prevailing idea is that it should be reduced to at least $600.

Another “ Elevator” Stranded.

To the long list of ‘ Elevators” who have been unseated for bribery and cor- ruption, must now he added the name of Mr. John Hughes. In the late election Mr. Hughes was the Grit candidate for Niagara. He was sent up from Toronto to redeem the constituency ; and with the in stincts of a true Grit, he scattered his money broadcazt to such an extent that one ef the Judges of the land has found it mecessary to unseat and disqualify him. Mr. Hughes now ranks with

James Heanrz testified that he was in | Alley s house and felt it tremble wiile the factory was in operation; also beard a dis- avreeable noise. Thought the contort ol living in the house lessened. Thought the house, apart from the factory, a tip top house. Ite chimnies do nut smoke.

James H. Prown testified chat he had been at Alley’s on business and had heara the noise of the factory while there.

Lemvuet Pairs hved with Mr. Alley and testitied that no inconvenience was felt trom the old shop.

Grorae ALLEY testified that no incon- venience was experienced from the old block shop. The household was nev.r disturbed by it. The uvise of the present factory 1s fur in excoss of the noise of the old shup. The nc ise for the two or three days before the injunction was laid, was perfectly deaf. ening. Ii the machinery were permitted to go on, he would not live in the house at all.

Hexry Smrra worked with Mr. Alley. Have seen thick, black smoke come from the old shop in the southeast corner. Have also henrd the nvise it made, but cannot describe the degree of loudness.

Saran ALLEY testified that the noise of the new factory is very much greater than that of the old. The .sovt and smoke is also more troublesome and disagreezv ble. One day last suu mer the table was laid,— the window was left open fora short time, and «e were called ont. When we came back the plates were covered with flakes of soot which came out of the new factory. We have not been so troubled since the In- junction was laid. Ihave seen the covers on the pots rattled with the vibration while the factery was working. The noise was worst next the factory, and worst of all two days before the injunction was laid.

Mr. Hodgson here asked that the Jury be permitted to view the premises,

Judge Peters refused to grant the request.

Annin Atiey testified that the old blockshop did not annoy them in the plaintiffs house. The new one was a grea faunoyance in every room of the louse. Swoke came in so that the Windows had to Le kept down. Soot comes down in large flakes from the mew factory. Have not felt the inconvenience from sovvt since the factory stopped. In Angust I had to leave the house on account of the noise. It would be impossible for me to lve in the house if the nvise continued.

February 7.

Tuomas Atiey testified that he com- menced business on Prince Street in 1853 ; that there was at that time a gangway nine feet wide between his property and that of Duchemin ; that the macainery Ducheimin then had consisted of a lathe, a jig saw and a circular saw—driven by a horse-power, horizontal wheel. They could only work one machine at a time. We never heard the noise in our house. Since the Duchemins started the steam engine—when the wind was from the north or northeast—disagree able smoke would co:e in pretty large quantities into our heuse and yard. There is no stone wall under the new factory. It is built upon posts which are, according to my idea, not sutticient. The frame is, I think, too weak to drive machinery in. It will shake. The noise of it is sometimes so great that it is difficult to converse in my house ; and there isa shaking, tremulous motion proceeding from it which is heard and felt in all parts of the house. If it eontinnes, we cannot live there. In conse- quence of advice received from Dr. Jen- kins, I sent my wife and youngest daughter away on account of the noise. Soot from the new factory has come inte the house when the windows were down, and the clothes drying in the yard have been cov- ered with it. The nuisance from the svot is greater than that which proceeded from the factory in the south-east corner.

Mr. Morson, in opening the defence, said: We admit the maxi.u that a person must so use his property as not to injure his neighbor. But we deny that the plaintitf has received substantial injury from the defendants, or that the latter have used their property in other than a lawful manner. What may be a nuisance to one person may not be any injury to another; and if we canshow, as weshallshow, ‘hat tie noise of the old block-sho» was grea_er than that of the present one; and if we can show (what indeed the plaintiff admits) that the smvke was worse when the shop Was in |the south-east corner than it is now, and ithe plaintiff made no complaint, then it will be apparent that the plaintiff's present complaint is purely captious. michinery of the new factory is the sume as that of the old. The noise it makes is,therefore, not greater. I is true that a steam engine has taken the

place of the horse power, but the plaintiff

adinits that the running of a steam engine makes less noise than that of a hurse power. Therefore the noise cannot be greater in the new than it was in the old fa:tory. As te-the smoke, it will be reinembered that Mr. Dodd deposed that Alley’s yard and house was full of smoke on the ilth of June. Now, we will prove thar there was nv fire either in the new or the old

Imprisonment for Debt.

If the law of Canada, or the New England

tates, referred to, will answer the desired end, as your correspondent claims, let us try it here, and use our un.ted influence in a4
