Tus Dairy EXAMINER. ij JUNE 22, 1883.
The Recent Appeal Cases.
Tne public are indebted to ‘A Barris- ter’ for the information he affords re- specting the two appeal cases in which the judgments of our Provinci«! Court were lately reversed by the Supreme Court of Canada. But we feel sure that every reader will say that if the language of Tue Examiner with respect to the Judges of our courts was unjustifiable, the language of ‘“‘a Barrister” to the editor of Tue ExAmrner is still more so. “A Barrister” declares that the language of Tue Examines is not in accordance with truth, Is it not true that the de- cisions of oar Supreme Court have, not once, or twice, or thrice, but repeatedly, been reversed by the Supreme Court of Canada? ‘A Barrister’’ will not dare to say that it is nottrue. And if it be true what are unlearned laymen to conclude ? Either that the Judges do not know the law, or that they de not give sufficient study and consideration to the cases upon which they adjudicate. Toassume that the Judges do not know the law, would indeed be an “ unmerited slur.” We respect the Bench of this Proviace too much even to insinuate such a thing ; and to conclude that the numerous re- visals are due to want of sufficient care, is the only alternative of the unlearned laymen who pay the taxes which support our Courts, and who are compelled to foot the enormous bills of costs which are the inevitable result of appeals to the Supreme Court of Canada. A mo- ment’s consideration would convince “A Barrister,” or indeed anyone else, that if a “slur” has been cast upon our Supreme Court, or if the respect of the people for the Court has been in any degree weakened, the cause lies in the fact that its decisions are so often set aside, and notin any language which Tae Examiner has used or could use.
The information which “A Barris- ter” affords will, no doubt, to some extent, satisfy public opinion respecting the two cases referred te; and as for the ability displayed by Judge Peters in the liquidation of the Bank of P. E. Island, po one, whether debtor, creditor or shareholder, will, we are sure, call it in question for a moment.

The Howell Murder Case.
Tue trial has resulted in a verdict of ** manslaughter”; aud popular sympathy endorses the verdict. The crauk old man has ’scaped the galiows, and will probably end his days in the penitentiary. No one would care particularly to see him hanged; and so the public mind is satisfied.
Perhaps we are not in these days sufficiently scrupulous about the punish- ment of crime. The law says that the penalty for murder is death. But we don’t like to put a fellow creature to death ; and so we strain a point, and call it manslaughter. We should have a care lest the point be strained too far. The sentiment against the execution of the death penalty prevails in the United States; and the result is that murders are frequent, and private vengeance does the work which the law fails to perform. A case in point occurred only the other day. A man named Dukes shot a man named Nutt. He was tried for the crime, but in spite of the evidence was acquitted by the jury. For some time he was io immizent dan- ger of being lynched bythe indignant populace. Nutt’s son, however, deliber- ately laid his plans to take Dukes’ life, and accomplished his purpose last week by shooting him dead in a public place. Public sympathy is with the avenger. The chances are that he will not be found guilty by the Jury; and Duke’s son—if he has a soun—will doubtless deem it te be his duty to avenge his fathers death.
Instances, such as this, of the evils resulting, directly and indirectly, from a lax administration of the law, should be noted as warning for us.
—‘*What right,’ asks the Patriot, “has a petty paper in this small city to scold the managers of a great Exhibition in a large sister Province?” Just the same right asthe largest paper or the greatest man in the biggest City of the largest Province of this Dominion. The managers of the Ceatennial Exhibition are expending public money; they should expend it for public purposes ; and they are as amenable to public criti- cism as any other public body in this country. of Free Thought, Free Speech, and a Free Press.

THe Anmy Worm.—Caterpillars in great numbers have putin their appearance in various places about town, and are doing considerable damage to ornamental trees, more particularly to the maples. In some places in Pictou County they are so numer- ous and so destructive that they are called **the army worm.” On Friday last, on the Eastern Extension Railway, near French River, Merigomish, they got on the railway track in such numbers, that when crushed by the wheels they most effectually greased the rails, and actually stopped a train. The train hands had to scrape them off and sand the rails. On Saturday, four miles below New Glasgow, they were so thick on the railway track as to nearly stop the express train. The second growth of trees in that locality are said to be stripped as bare as if a fire had run through them. —Truro Guardian,

THE MALPEQUE TRAGEDI, Roderick Howell on Trial
For the Murder of William Wallace.
—_—_-- THURSDAY'S PROCEEDINGS, —_-——————
EVIDENCE OF WILLIAM HODGSON,
Witttam Hopeson (sworn)—Examined by the Attorney General—I live at Mal- peque. Ll remember the time the shooting took place. On hearing of the shooting, about ten o’clock on the night of the shoot- ing, I went down to Wallace's, Henry Wallace showed me the tracks on a small snowbank, about eighteen inches or two feet high. He said there is where Howell stood when | took the gun from him. The footprints were about the depth of a shoe. The tracks came from McGougan’s field, across the line fence, to the spot where Henry Wallace pointed out where Howell stood. It appeared to me that the person who stood there went off through Howell's field across the road. I did not trace the tracks further. Henry said, ‘There is where my brother was lying when I came up.” There wasa blood stain there about three feet from the tracks on the snowbank, towards the south, the snow was blackened. I picked up a small shred of woollen material out of the dark spot, also a piece of cloth, The woollen was dark. The dark spot looked like smoky snow. This dark spot was about three feet from where Wallace fell first time. I saw the deceased, Wallace, at ten o'clock on the night of the shooting. He seemed to be suifering great pain at times. I said this is a horrible affair, did Roderick Howell shoot you : ‘‘He shot me all right,” waa the reply. I asked him how did it happen or had they arow. He said ‘‘No, we had not a word; when I came up to the pile carrying the poles, he said drop them poles, I threw the poles down and wemt towards him. I was preity close up to him when I saw he had the gun. The gun was pointed right at me, I[ wasso close I thought I could catch the gun before he would fire. I put out my hand to catch the gun and before I made another step the gun was off.”
Cross-examined by Mr. Hodgson — I know nothing about what Henry Wallace showed the witness McKay. The crest of the bank, where Howell stood was undis- turbed. There were no signs of a scuffle. What-I picked up off the dark spot on the snow, I took to be wadding from the gun.
DUNCAN MACGOUGAN’S TESTIMONY,
Duncan McGovean, (sworn)—Examined by the Attorney-General—I live at Mal- peque. The deceased, Wallace, was not a quarrelsome, disagreable man. I was present in Wallace’s house when his wounds were dressed. Onexamination of Wallace's pants I found that the charge entered above | the bone situated below the abdomen, and came out in front of the inner seam of the pants. None of the charge seems to have gone behind. The pants were shattered. it was not around hole cut clean. The deceased said to me he could not live.
Cross examined by Mr. Hodgson—The deceased was in a falling position with the right leg back and fore leg forward when he received the shot.
This witness finished the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Hodgson opened the case for the prisoner.
(Evidence for the defence.)
Epwarp Larkins examined by Mr. Hodgsen—I am acquainted with Mrs. Wal- lace for fifteen or sixteen years. I was at her house the day of the funeral. I asked Mrs. Wallace if she had given the poles to Howell. She said Howell came there one day when her husband was away. He ask- ed her about the poles and she said she did not remember burning any but one split pole, and when William came home he would make it all right, He said there was not enough there to make up for what was taken.
Cross examined by Mr. McLeod—I un- derstood from Mrs. Wallace that Howell claims more longers than she admitted and she left the matter to her husband.
DAVID GALLANT TESTIFIES,
Davin GaLLant—examinved by Mr. Hodg- son—l owned the gun once which Howell used. I fired one shot outofher. After I fired this shot I loaded her a second time and laid her on the ground. I heard some geese coming along. I touched her and she went off at half cock. It was not the fault of the gun. She was wood bound.
Cross-examined by Mr. McLeod—(Tried the gun). She won’t go off at half cock now. Iam an old gunner. It is two years since | owned the gun.
ALEXANDER THOMPSON'S EVIDENCE.
AL®XANDER THompson (sworn)—Exam- ined by Mr. Hodgson—I am acquainted with Howell. I had a conversation with Wallace about the poles about a fort- night before the shooting. I told him to watch my poles. He said he could not watch hisown. He did not blame Wallace for stealing the poles. He said they were a bad set.
Cross-examined by Mr. McLeod—The prisoner was not pleased about them steal- ing longers. He said he would pepper them if they did not stop.
After Recess.
FREDERICK PETERS EXAMINED,
Freperick Perers, (sworn)—Examined by Mr. Hodgson. I saw this gun about three days ago. It now cannot be moved. Three days ago, there was a place on it that is not here now, that would send the gun off by simply touching the trigger. It struck at that point three times. It will not dosonow. It went off just now at half cock. (Witness set it off three times at half cock.)

Dr. Schliemann says the Greek of to-day does not differ from the ancient nearly as much as does the English of to-day loo that of Ohaucer; and moreover, Greek scholars, especially in the University at Athens, are constantly endeavoring to bring the language nearer to the ancient standards. The pronunciation, however, he says, will remain the same; for they have proof that this is the pronunciation used more than a thousand years ago.
