Fitzgerald, paper dealer. He said he sold Dun & Co. the paper they used for their book. Well- man showed witness a cheque for $7,500 drawn to his order by Dun & Co., dated October 21st, 1891. He said he never re- money for the cheque. He never deposited the cheque in any bank, | and that the signature Wiman was in de fendant’s writing. Witness was not allow- ed to tell whether the sigaature of his name on the back of the cheque was gen- uine or not There was no cross examin- |ation. The next witness was Ogden Browne, of the Campbell printing press company. He was put through the same line of examination as the previous witness Wellman showed him a |cheque which was dated January 20, 1893, drawn to the order of Mr. Browe, as treasurer, bv Dun & Co, for $5,500. Wit- ness said he had never received the money for Another check for $7,000 was put through the same process. Gon. Tracy’s cross-examination brought out the had received Wiman’s individual note to cover indebtedness caused by the checks. Cyrus H. Taylor, receiving teller of the Central National Bank, was recalled and asked to identify as Mr. Wiman’s writing the signature on a deposit slip dated February 24, 1891. Robert D. Douglass, member of the associ- ation of R. G. Dun & Co. since 1881, testi- fied that he had been with the concern since 1872. He was not in the habit of looking at the firm’s books. It was not his province to do so. He bad _ seen the $5,000 check, on which the charge of forgery is brought, at the Chemical Na- on February 17, 1893. Wi- man had been away for a week.

My Dear Mr. Duy,—I have had occasion more than once to write you in terms of great humiliation, but never before under such circumstances as now, in which I It is thatZimproperly and fraudulently I have signed the name of E.

Respectfully, Erastus Wray.” Mr. Wellman then rested the case for the prosecution. General Tracy concluded his argument at 2.10. He laid great stress upon the agreement made between Dun, Douglass, Wiman and King. Justice Ingraham de- nied the both motions made by General Tracy and gave reasons at length. Mr. Boardman addressed the jury. He said the whole question hinged upon Mr. Wiman’s intent in obtaining for his own use the money in question. He said the charge against Mr. Wiman was for forgery of a check for $5,000 and uttering it after forgery. Mr. Boardman continued, “we do not deny these facts, law you will get from the conrt. The sole question for you to decide is, did Mr. Wiman sign the check with the intent to defraud his part- ners.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA At present there are forty-eight presby- teries in the Canadian presbyterian terri- tory extending from Skins, Cape Breton, to Vancouver Island. Several of these, notably in the western districts, have come inio existence with the steady growth of the church in recent years. The presby- tery of Rock Lake with over twenty charges and mission fields was formed ten years ago. Brandon presbytery was formed the eame year when the original presbytery of Manitoba was divided into Winnipeg, Bran- dyn and Rock Lake. The presbytery of Kegina was formed in the following year. time in July, 1887, and in 1892 three new presbyteries came into existence, vi z. Kamloops, Westminster and Victoria, the last mentioned coutrolling the work of the denomination on Vancouver Island. The largest presbyteries in the church are Mon- treal, Toronto, Lanark and Renfrew, Ottawa, Halifax, St. John, Kingston, Hamilton and London, these having minis- ters numbering from thirty to sixty. In connection with, or better, as a con- stituent portion of the Presbyterian church in Canada, there are two foreign presby- | teries, one in India, the other in China. | In 1885 a draft act for the formation ofa | presbytery in India was submitted to the general assembly by its foreign mission committee and adopted by the supreme court. In 1889 the first presbytery in China was organized, and is known as the Presbytery of Honan. The province of Honan, in which this presbytery is situat- ed, has a population of fifteen millions. That of Central India, in which the pres- bytery of Indore is, has a population cf about ten millions. The Presbyterian Church in Canada comprises six synods—the Maritime Prov- vinces, Montreal and Ottawa, Toronto and Kingston, Hamilton and London, Mani- toba and the Northwest Territories, and British Columbia. In these six synoda, | | two thonvan! fice iunalred and twenty eight churches and schools are supplied, they having sit. accommodation for nearly threc~jiacters of a million worship- pers. Ninety-tive thou<and families, with an addition of eighteen thousand persons sot connected with families, belong to. these synods.

Moytreat, June 13.—The Star cable from London says: The British imports from Canada during the month of May in- creased 56 per cent compared with last year, and for five months of this year there was an increase of 73 per cent.
