4h ODESTY forbids us (to use a slang phrase) to blow our own horn, and as it is contrary ei to our opinion (according to the old proverb) when in Rome to do as Rome «does, we

shal] endeavor, as heretofore, to present tacts so undeniable as to be beyond the resch of dis- pute. True, people have gained for themselves a name (not an enviable one) which, to all

appearances, served the purpose they had in view. But wisdom dictates, before posing as leaders in the great race for supremacy, that we should look well to the foundation upon which those assertions are based. To throw the mantle of charity over such people is ou motto ; and instead of revealing to the public gaze, through your columns, the errors into | which they have fallen, we will endeavor to lead them gently into the light. ‘dhae you will acquiesce in what wt say, is a foregone conclusion, namely, as Fathérs of the trade in this Province we treat the several branches uf the trade in this city with the same consideration 1s a loving parent would his innocent offspring ; and to this end we invite such traders to aim high and co-operate in elevating this, the first profession, to the high status to which it is entitled. In the meantime, call and see our handsome goods, in NAPS, MELTONS, SCOTCH TW EEDS, WORSTEDS, etc., made up in the latest styles and cheap.

LAND OFFICE COMMISSION, Public Investigation:

Se

Fripay, Dec. 6. AFTERNOON SESSION,

Enquiry began at 4 o'clock.

JoHN Batt, (sworn)—In Nov. 1885, 1} paid the Land Office $113.96 for Jerome! Gallant. The payment was by check on the Merchants Bank of Halifax. I think 1. inade the payment to Mr. Strong. I have! no receipt now ; but most likey 1 got one and gaye it to Gallant. I cannot say whether or notthe receipt was in the regular. form. (Produces deed.) This is the deed ‘that I paid for. The writing thereon is! that of Mr. Strong. Jerome Gallant is dead now and the property has been trans- ! ferred. (Ledger containing entry of| amount shown.) This entry is in Mr. Strong’s hand-writing. About th's time I also made another payment at the Land Oftice. This payment was for Richard Smallman, and was also by check on the Merchants Bank of Halifax. The amount of the check was $116.98. (Ledger con

ning entry of amount shown.) This is 1 Mr. Strong’s hand-writing. I know it ‘ry well. Witness was here shown the

township ledgers containing the entries of the different amounts not entered in the} cash book and testified that in every in- ‘stance the hand-writing was that of Mr. Strong. (Frank Longwerth, a clerk in the Land Office, was also sworn and examined he entries 10 tie ledgers He also swore that they were mace Mr. Strong.) The four or five sun tL were ;} ald, ind ackn wld ge d oniy iD the ledgers taken to the country by the Assistant Commissioner, were next ‘taken up item by item. In every in- stance the witnesses testified that the entries were made by Mr. Strong. Mr. Ball also identified the entry in re the Cunningham case as being made by Mr. Strong. In the McClosky case, he testified that the alter- ations on the counterfoil of the receipt book were in Mr. Strong’s handwriting, but he would not be positive as to who made the entry inthe ledger. (Letter book | containing copy of Mr. Strong's letter to George Green, acknowledging receipt of $40, shown). This also was written by Mr. Strong. Witness was also of opinion that he paid Dyer’s amount in full. At all events he made several payments for him. M. McLeop, of the firm of Palmer & McLeod (sworn).—I made a payment at the Land Office for John McLeod, Lot 50, on Sept. 28, 1880. The payment was by per- sonal cheque on the Union Bank. The amount of the cheque was $5405. I can- not recollect to whom I paid the money (Deed produced). This is the deed 1} ob- tained at the office. It ig dated April 19, 1880. There is a receipt on the back of the dead, endorsed by Mr. Strong. The receipt is dated Sept. 28, 1880 (Ledger containing entry of amount shown). I can- not identify the handwriting. Francis M. Lonewortu Prete am | a clerk in the Land Office. | was appointed in April, 1882. | received instructions as! to my duties from Mr. Strong. It was my, work tw attend to searches, look after the: documents, and sometimes to post from! the cash book into the ledgers. I have received moneys in payment for lands. I always gave the regular form of receipt. I always handed over the money | received to Mr. Strong, and he would put it in the. cash book. I had no access to the cash box. | Mr. Strong kept the cash box, but in his absence Mr. McKinlay would have charge of it. (Counterfoil of receipt book contain- ing entry in ré Patrick Cunningham case shown.) The entry here is mine. The Sgure **}” in the amount entered thereon | has been erased. I dv not know who made the erasure. (Cash book containing entry of same amount shown.) The entry here was made by Mr. Strong. The full amount paid is not entered here, but is entered in the township ledger. The amount was paid! by check of Sullivan & Macneill. (Check! shown ) Thisis the check I received. 1} passed it to Mr. Strong after vreeriving it Mr. Macdonald and i compared the receipt books with the cash book last winter to see if there were any further amounts that} were not crediled as they should be. It iwas then alteration in the counter- foil was discovered Ido not know of any ‘comparison of the township ledgers with book ever having been made. Township ‘edger shown.) The entry here Mr. Strong’s i remember the time lohu K. McKenzie, of Lot 9, called at the Land Otfice. It was in the summer of 1888, He told me he wailed Mr. Strong $20, but had no receipt. Mr, Strong was at dinner when McKenzie called, but came back before he left. I searched the books to see if the amount McKenzie paid in|

‘the cash

o

ad been credited, but could not find it. When Mr. Strong came back he

gave McKenzie a receipt, and said he would tix the matter up when he went west. ‘be recipt he gave was not out of the re- ,ceipt book. The regular receipt book in juse was in front of me. McKenzie left after getting the receipt. I thought that Strong had given the receipt out of the re- ceipt book he intended using when he went west on his collecting tour. (Plan shown). I put McKenzie’s name in ink here in con- ‘sequence of what Mr. Strong told me. Adjourned until 7 o'clock.

Inish Lanp Puncuase.—The British Gov- ernment’s scheme of land purchuse finds much more favor in the eyes of Lrish landlords since Lord Salisbury announced that it was not to be compalsory. In fact, a vast majority of Irish properties are so heavily mortgaged that the owners, if obliged to sell, would be ab- solutely ruined, and at this moment, after a good harvest, with the price of cattle keeping up,they are able to make a better thing out of their land than they would of any possible surplus they might get after a compulsory gale.

CARELESS Usk OF FIREARMS. —Charles Frock, aged twelve, was shot dead on the street at Lincolnvi'ie, Me., on Tuesday last, by the ac- ciden al discharge of a gun in the hands of a companion about his ownage. The boys were returning from a gunning expedition at New Haven: The ere evening Flora Sey- mour, aged three, was shot and probably fatally wounded by Willie Pollard, aged four, while playing with a pistol that had been care- iessly left ina room in Seymour's residence, where the children were playing.

Ax Important Discovery.—The Colonies and India, a weekly paper published in London, in its issue of Nov. 20th, contained the follow- ing: ‘The board of trade of St. John, N. B., has widely published an error which hes been discovered in the admiralty chart of their har- bor, and the dominion government has been reqnested ¢> bring the matter to the notice of the imperis! authorities. ‘The officiel report of the port was made as far back as 1844, and the shoals marked on the charts do not exist, #8 as cen conclusively proved by the engin-
