Monrreat, April 9.—Y¥esterday at the Archbishop’s Palace Mgr. Merry Del Val met the Archbishop. ‘The conterence was secret. But it has leaked out that Premier Laurier and Mr. Tarte have on bended knees implored the delegate to’ approve of the principle of the settlement, and they will see that all possible improvement is made as to its details.

Orrawa, April 9.—Replying to Mr. Gillies yesterday, Hon. Mr. Fielding said that the recent reports of his Montreal re- remarks tothe coal men were correct, and he was always in favor of free coal in case Americans admitted our coal free into their country, but not otherwise. He also held that the coal duty must be considered as part of the general tariff policy of Canada, and not by itself alone.

THE HACKETT CASE. Concluding Part of the Jadgment of the fupreme Court,

There remains to be considered the only

question which raises any difficulty ou this

appeal, namely, whether or not section 19 of the Act of 1891 applies. I will read the section :

“Where, upon the trial of an election petition, the court decides that a candidate at such election was guilty by his agent or agents, of any offence that his election void, aud the court further tinds—

(1) That no corrupt practice was com- mitted at such election by the candidate per-onally, and that the offences meution- ed were committed contrary to the order and without the sanction or connivaice of euch Candidate ; and

(br) That such candidate took all reasonab'e means for preventing the com- mission Of corrupt practices at such elec- tion; and

(c) That the offene’s of @ triviai, character; and

(4) That in all other respects, eo far as disclosed by the evidence, the election was free from any corrupt practice on the part of such candidate and of his agents ; then the election of euch candidate shall not, by reason of the cffsnces mentioned, be void, nor shall the candidate be subject tO any incapacity theretor.

This is not an exact transcript of the corresponding clauses of the Imperial Act (46 & 47 Vic., ch. 5), sec. 22) but it is to the same effect, the object of both being 10 relieve candidates fromthe conseq ences of eorrnpt acts, trivial or unimportant in € aracter, of their agents. But, as Mr. Jus- uce Vaughan Willianrs held in the Roches- ter case (4 OPM. & H p. 160) iu order to obtain the besetic of this section & caudi- date must. bring himself strictly within its terms. Now | admit that the offence proved in the present case was of a trivial and unimpo-tan: charac cr, an | the apgel- lant was acquitted of all the other charges of which the particulars contained @ great number. But, it appears to me, that he has failed to prove; in the first piace, that Callaghan’s corrupt act was contrary to his orders, ana tn the next place that “he took ali reasonable means to prevent the commission of corrupt practices at the election. -He fails, I think, in this respect although it is shown that be did announce at public meetings that he wished the election to be carried on properly and warued his Sapporters against tae com mis- sion of all illegal act®, vet in miy~ opinion he should have done -more than he dil” in respect to this particular agent Callaghan whom he. took with him to canvas a_ particular locality. He knew Callaghan was an agent, he knew that he talked with elec- tore, and it must bavé been obvious to Dim that he was, to a certain extent, in his (Callaghan’s) bands: but it does not,ap- pear that he administered any caution. The bottle of whiskey was in the buggy, but it was not shown that appellant was aware of the fact. There were cireum- stances, however, that should ,bave aroused his suspicion. Oo meeting cer- tain persons who sre proved to ‘nave been electors, Callaghan went ‘with them into the woods and remained ° for some minutes, and O’Brien, the treating of whom constituted the corrupt act which unseated the a peilant, was taken into his own baro. So without going further than the j.dges who tried the petition went, I think we must sey thatthe appellant must have known that something more than mere Caavassing was go:py on, and should have cautioned Callaghan against the use of any unlawful means of influencing the electors. It is true he says he did not authorize him to canvass, but he knew that he was a member of the association which he expected to work for him, and that implies that he expected Callaghan to do the same. ;'

Under these circumstances and follow - ing English authorities, I do not consider the appellant entitled to the benefit of sec- tion 19 of the Act of 1891. The judgment appealed from is,) 1) think, entirely free from error and npust,be affirmed.

The appeal is dismissed with coats.

Judge and Jury,

An exehange tells a story of a well known judge who is noted for his fond- ness for cowveying in his charges to ju- rors his’ own opinions in regard to the merits ‘of the case in hand. Recently, in giving’such a charge, he expressed his views Very plainly, but to his amaze- ment the jury remained out for some botira. *~"

The judge inquired of the officer what was the Totter and learned from him that'one juror was holding out against the cther 1]. He sent for the jury at onte, and stating tc the jurors that he had plainly intimated how the case ought to.be decided said he understood that one jexror was standing out against the other 11. He proceeded to rebuke the juror sharply.

The obstinate juror, as it happened, Was a,nervcus little man, and as soon as the judge was done he arose and said:

‘Your hcnor, may I say a word?’’

**Yes, sir,’’ said the indignant judge. **What.have you to say?’’

‘‘Well, what I wanted to say is, I am the cnly fellow that’s on your side.’’

An Easy Winner.

On Oct. 2, 1795, a wager came off at Brighten between Sir John Lade—who figures -in Conan Doyle’s ‘‘Rodney Stone’’—and Lord Cholmondeley, whom he hd undertaken to carry twice around the Steine, pickaback. As his lordship

‘was stout and Sir John a little fellow,

the ¢onéceursé was large to see it, but he ‘had no backers. ‘‘Now, my lord, strip,’’ said he. ‘‘I undertock to carry you, but not your clothes,’’ whereby he won his bet without any exertion.—Argonant.
