The reports of the teachers show an enrolment for the month of 1,372—29 more than during the month of February, the percentage of attendance being as follows : Prince Street, $1; Queen Square, 88; West Kent, 89.

a judgment has been recovered under the Seduction Act of 1876, shall be entitled to obtain relief under the pro- visions of the “Indigent Debtor’s Act,” or the “ Act respecting Arrest and Im- prisonment for Debt.”

Hon. Mr. Peters explained the pro- visions of the Seduction Act as it existed at present, and showed under what cir-

offence came within the criminal He pointed out that if the proposed change was made a_ person who was fined $200 could be kept ip prison for three vears and six months He thought this was altogether too long a He did not think the measure should pass; bat he would have no objection to the passing of a sec- tion which would provide that the term of imprisonment should not exceed three or six months. Under the law as it exists no person can “swear ont” who is able to pay. He believed the passing of the pro- posed measure would not advance public morals, and asserted that the law, even as it exists at present, was sometimes used for extorting blackmail.

Hon. Mr. Gordon said that young men were sometimes punished under this Act when they were innocent,and in his opinion it would be a retrograde movement to pass a measure such as the one under consider-

sumstances the

code.

ation. Education rather than legislative enactment was the way to elevate the morals of the people.

Mr. McKinnon did not agree with the

Attorney-General respecting the duration of the period of imprisonment. He thought

that a person imprisoned under the act could be got out under habeas corpus. There must be some good reason for the

making of this change in the act, otherwise it weuld not now be brought forward. He moved an amendment which provided that “‘when any debtor applies for discharge under either of the said acts it sha'l be in the discretion of any of the judges of the

supreme court to re-commit him fora period not exceeding six months.” He

thought this amendment, which was in line with the Ontario law, would meet the views of the House respecting imprison- ment. It left the whole matter in the dis- eretion of the judges, who could be depend- ed upon when circumstances arise to punish a man according to his deserts. Mr. Robertson expressed himself as in favor of the measure before the House He said that if men legislated more in the

interests of women there would be less heard respecting woman suffrage. Mr. Rogers (Alberton) did not think

that the mere fact of a man paying (say) $200 under the civil law prevented him from being prosecuted under the criminal law. He argued in favor of better protec- tion for women in respect to the matter under consideration, and thought that the proposed change was a step in that direc: tion. He thought, however, that the term of imprisonment was too great; that it should not be more than one year.

Hon. Mr. Peters pointed ont that under the propesed bill a mau could be impris- oned for three years and six months, whilst he could not be imprisoned for more than two years when the age of the girl made the offence criminal. He thought the passing of the proposed law would therefore tend to make the Legisla- ture ridiculous. He suggested that the term of imprisonment be made shorter, and expressed the opinion that one year was too long.

Progress was reported.

House resumed committee on the bill relating to thefappointment of sheriff 8, with Mr. Robertson in the chair.

Hon. Mr. Peters moved that the bill Le reperted agreed to.

Hon. Mr. Gordon moved that the report of the committee be received this day three months. In sodoing he put in a strong plea against making any change in the manner of appointing sheriffs, and said they should be selected by the Judges as at present. He thought the sheriffs of the

| three Counties discharged their duties well,

and were competent for the positions they held. He was very sorry to hear the

| aspe:sions cast upon them the other day.

|

} ' j i | '

Mr. Shaw, in seconding the motion, also spoke highly of the manner in which the sheriffs discharged their duties, and said he was decidedly opposed to the proposed change in the manner of appointing them. The House divided on the amendment

Hon. Mr. Farquharson moved an amendment to the effect that section 8 be changed by providing that the value of shares shall be left to the discretion of the companies seeking incorporation under the Act.

The amendment was discussed by Messrs. Peters, Sinclair, Farquharson, Rogers (Alberton), A. Peters, Shaw, Bell and others, and adopted.

DRAMATIC

audience at to witness the

Tuere was a large Lyeenm last night sentation of the drama Case,” by the Dramatic Club of St. Dunstan’s College. The drama is of the heavy order, with a vein of humor crop- ping up at intervals. The scene is laid in France at the time of the battle of Fon- tenoy, and = as the plot develops interesting and stirring scenes are depici- ed. The play was well staged, and the manner in which the various characters were interpreted was highly creditable. The part of the hero “ John Renaud,” was well taken by Mr. John A. Maedonald. Mr. P. F. Doyle gave a splendid imper-

sonation of the “Duke D’Aubetterre,” and Mr. A, A. Sinnot as “ Adrian,” was excellent. Mr. James H. Bradley, as

“Count De Morvey,” was exceedingly good; and Mr. Vincent Blake gave a capital rendition of the part of “Valentine De Morney.” The _ part of “Dennis O’Rourke,” the Trish soldier-servant, was in good hands, Mr. P.

McQuillan “filling the bill” with much acceptance. The other characters were well taken by Messrs. J.LL.Roche, P. F

Duffy, P. Ro Walsh, Glen Macdonald, Ed ward Gillis, William Doyle, W. Sullivan,

Joseph Gallant and Master Claude Blake. Master Blake, who is_ only four years old, impersonated

“Adrian” in the prologue, acting his part “like a little man.” Between the acts the College orchestra played some choice sel- ections in a splendid manner, and the Glee Club rendered several choruses in true College style. at. > - <= —

CHANGES IN BUSINESS CIRCLES,

Important changes have taken place in business circles within the last few days, whereby two well-known and leading firms change their places of business. Messrs. George Carter & Co., have bought the stock of the Bazaar Stere, and intend mov- ing immediately into the store lately oc- cupied by them. To reduce their increas- ed stock they are advertizing a slaughter sale of certain lines of goods. Messrs. Carter will also conduct their seed business in the same premises. They have leased their former store to Mr. Lawrences W. Watson, proprietor of Watson’s Drug Store. favorably known to the public for over half a century. Mr. Watson will move into the premises as soon as they are vacated by Messrs. Carter, which is expected to be towards the end of this month. Both stores are to have exten- sive improvements added to make them fully up to the demands of the increase: business which these two enterprising firms fully deserve, and will doubtless receive. The store at present occupied by Mr. Watson is advertized “to let ” in our want’s column.
