The Hunter Burglary.

REMANDED FOR TRIAL IN THE

SUPREMB COURT,

PRISONER

The prisoner Annie Meinnis, charged with entering the housé of Mr. E. G. Hun- ter on the night of the 5th of August and atealing thereltrom $200 worth of jewelry, was further examined before ‘A. R. Fitz- Gerald, Esq., Stipendiary Magistrate, this (Monday) morning Charles Palmer, Esq.,

appeared on behal! of the prosecutor, and Robert Shaw, Esq., on behalf the defend-) ant. : :

Mrs. Hunter was examined. She gave dotails of the robbery, a description

of the watch, chain, rings and broech stolen, and said that after dicovering the house had been robbed, she deslared t> Mrs. Stewart (who resides in the house next to Mr. Huater’s) that she would have all Charlattetown searched for the stolen goods. She at that time accused no particular person, nor did) she suspect any one, On the morning following the robbery the prisouer went to her and said: ‘*she heard that she (Mrs. Hunter) was going to have the house which she lived in searched.” Tears were in her eyes at the time and she appeared distressed. She, later on, said she had been accused of the robbery, and asked Mrs. Hunter what she would do. Mrs. Hunter told her to prove her innocence, ard have the parties who accused her punished for defamation ef character. During several conversa- tions Mrs. Hunter testified that the prison- er asked her ‘if she returned the property would that clear her. Mrs. Hunter said: ‘*Oertainly. If you return it I will not appear against you.” Mrs. Hunter said that she did not understand from what the prisoner said about returning the jewelry that she had anything te do with steal- ing it.

Mrs. Stewart (who resides in the next house to Mr. Hunter’s) testitied that she had conversations with the prisoner similar to those which Mrs, Hunter had, and that she advised her ‘If she was unfortunate enough to have taken the things to give them up.” Mrs. Stewart also said the prisonsr told her that she spoke to her servant through the window on the night of the robbery, about 9 o'clock, and also that she was ata party that night, and came home between nine and ten o’clock for a lunch.

Mrs. Stewart's servant—Katie Walsh— testified that on the night of the robbery, after nine o’cleck the prisoner passed up and down the street’ in company with two young men. The witness—when they passed~-was looking eut of the front win- dow. Ten minute elapsed between the time they passe l up and the time they pass- down.

The above is the evidence adduced for the prosecution. Mr. Shaw, counsel for the prisoner, produced three witnesses— Mrs. Andrew McDonald, Miss Kate Campbell and Vernon McNeill—all of whom swore positively that the prisoner was at ja party at Mr. Andrew McDonald’s, Spring; Park, from between eight and nine o’clockfon the night of the robbery until the following morning, and that it would be impossible for her to be away from the house long enough to commit the robbery with- out their knowledge.

The prisoner was remanded for trial in the Supreme Court. Howlett was held as witness.

Birrexy sy a Doc.—A Halifax exchange states that a Mr. Matheson—one of the elders of Chalmers’ Cliurch—whilst on his way home from a Sunday-scheol gathering, ‘feeling in love and charity with all creation,” was se- verely bitten in the back of the leg, near the knee, bya large and vicious dog. It was ‘with difficulty that Mr. Matheson was enabled to get to his home where, from the effects of the bite, he is confined to his bed. Action has been taken for damages in this case. Our civic authorities deserve the severest censure for their neglect to enforce their own by-law relating to dogs. Ourstreets and squares are frequently full of dogs, running at large, in open violation of all law. The by-law in

uestion imposes a fine ov the owners of dogs ound on the streets without collars. Dogs -are also to be registered in a book tobe kept by the clerk of the City Coert. Is this enforced? In fact, this by-law, lixe other enactments of ur civic authorities, is a < -ad letter.

‘“We have visited the bottling stores of Messrs. Gréenlees Brothers, at Gresham- buildings, London, and have selected from the vats, samples of their Lorne Highland Whis- key, and have subjected them to careful ex- apunation and analysis. The samples’ were pale, showing their freedom from added color- ing matter, very fragrant, mellow and of pleasant flavor ; in fact, they possessed all the characteristics of pure and well-matured Scotch Whiskey of the first qualtiy.”
