James Curtis, Sheriff of Queen’s County, (sworn)—Immediately after the under precept of the Woodside farm, |

the Land Office and gave it to Mr, Strong. Mr, Strong told me that I need not have been in such a hurry with the money. In reply 1 told him that I did not usually keep such sums of inoney in my office for any length of time. Mr. Macdonald$ was present at the time,and heard the conversa- tion. I think I saw Mr, Strong make an entry of the sum inthe book. I dv not think he gave me a receipt for the money ; but he marked it and I had every con- ideuce in him and didnot pay much at- tention to the getiing ofa receipt. In { fact the obtaining of a receipt never gave me a moment’s thought.

CHARLES R. SmMaLttwoop, of the firm of Warburton & Smallwood, (sworn)—I paid money into the Land Office for Silas Wonnacott, in February, 1888, and _receiv- ed a receipt endorsed on the deed which I inow produce. The payment was by check )on the Bank of Nova Sevtia. The check was for $186.50. (Produces check.) The cheek is made payable to Land Office or bearer and in the body is marked for Silas Wonnacott. Ido not remember to whom I paid the check, but I have no doubt it was to Mr. Strong. The receipt on the deed is in the hand-writing of Robert A. Strong.

Arruur Nrewsery (sworn)—I am Assist- ant Provincial Secretary and Treasurer. Last Spring Mr. McKinlay and I began a comparison of the township ledgers and the cash book to see if there were any amounts in the ledgers which were not entered in the cash book. We began with the Ist July, 1878. I merely assisted Mr. McKinlay by galling up the amounts, he would look after the details. In checking

used a redone. Sometimes Mr. McKinlay would take the cash book and I the ledger, and at other times 1 would take the cash book and he the ledger. We went through four or five of the ledgers, beginning with Lot 1. (Ledgers with check marks thereon shown.) These green pencil check marks are mine. I do not remember seeing the other check marks there at the time of our examination, and cannot say who made them.

Joseph A. McDona.p (sworn).—I have been a clerk in the Land Office since Octo- ber, 1879. My duties are to attend to searches, post the ledgers from the cash book and from the counterfoils of the sales book, and to look after the plan, registers and other documents in the vaults. All the hands in the oftice- make entries in the Jedgers, It never struck me that there were entries made there that were not in the cash book. 1 saw Sheriff Curtis pay Mr. Strong the amount realized by the sale under precept of the Woodside farm. (List of items in default shown witness). [ copied this list. 1 do not remember that there are any items other than those on this list in default. i had no access wo the cash box. Mr. Strong kept the cash box, and in his abseuce Mr. McKinlay would have charge of it. I do not know that anyone else had access to it. There was no com- parison of the township ledgers and the cash book made during my time in the of.- fice. Mr. Pope and Mr. Strong instructed me as to my duties when I first went into the office. I am well acquainted with Mr. Strong’s writing. (Cash book and receipt book with entries w re Patrick Cunning- ham’s transaction shown witness), The writing on the counterfoil of the receipt book is that of Mr. Longworth, and the entry in the cash book that of Mr. Strong. I knew nothing of the erasure on the coun- terfoil of the receipt book until March, 1839. (Township ledger with entry in con- nection with saine case shown). This entry is also in Mr. Strong’s handwriting. The ease of Widow McCloskey, Lot 30, who paid $400 on the 19th March, 1888, was

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

—_——

A Roland,

Sir,—tin the Patriot of the 22nd., which was handed me yesterday, under the head- ing “* Souris Notes,” reference is made to a new system of book-keeping which the writer infurms us the Tories are goiag to introduce here. i do not think it is at all

selling | necessary forthe leading Tories of this

place to make any change whatever ia their As their custom- ers as well as their cieditors can testify, they have always paid one hundred cent

tothe dollar. The writer of ** Souris Notes” might let us know something about the system of keeping accounts adopted by the leading Grit luminaries here for some years past, and which has proved so bene- ficial to some of them at least. As an out- line of this system would be interesting, it is to be hoped that the writer of ‘* Souris Notes” will give it to the public before long.

Yours, &c., CUSTOMER. Souris East, Dec. 4th, 1888,

Lawsuits Between Farmers.

Judge Reddin has been at Souris holding Court for the last three or four days, Some of the cases on which he was called upon to give judgment were a little off the beaten track. The case between William Burke and Robert Dingwell, lasting the beat part of two days, was one ot the toughestot the term and is still unsettled, the Judge postponing it till March. But the suit that took the lead beyond ail o' hers was the one brought by Archibald Fishor, farmer, against Charles Mills, farmer, both of Little River, for damages caused by the setting out of tire last summer whereby the plaintiff alleg- ed he sustained a loss of $120 through the burning of his property. John 8. Mae- donald, Attorney-at-Law, appeared for the laintif, and Richard Reddin, Attorney-at-

w, for the defendant. This case was finally settled by the plaintiff acknowledg- ing judgmeng for $40, each party tc pay hsi JownAgosts. This suit is important to far ‘should be made a note of.

iming Another Blow. ee meneame ANOTHER EFFORT TO HANDICAP CANADA IN iTS TRADE RELATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES.

Wasurneton, Dec. 5.—Senator Hale to- day introduced a bill providing that articles of merchandise, grown and manufactured in the United States and transported {through any foreign country in bond, for the purpose of reaching the United States, jor for shipment to any foreigu country, may enter the United States free of duty ; articles of merchandise manufactured in the United States, and passing through Canada, may also pass agam through the United States in bond free of duty, pro- vided such articles are intended for use in Canada and not destined for foreign ports ; articles, if transported across Canada, and intended for foreign shipment, cannot enter the United States free of duty except for transportation to a United States port for shipment abroad ; articles of merchandise grown or manufactuered in any foreign country, if transported to Canada and then to the United States, are subject to a duty on entering the Unfited States. The bill also provides that such articles as are transported across the ocean and landed at *& sea-port of the United States, and that pass through Canada in bond for the United States as their final destination, having paid duty at a sea-port of the United States where bonded, are not subject to duty upon again entering the United States for their

tinal destination. ‘ DIED.
