Action for trespass and takirg seaweed from the shore in front. of plain- tiff’s farm at Wood Islands which was tried before Mr Justice Hodgson and a jury last winter, when certain findings were returned by the jary. A full report of this case appeared in the columns of Tue Ex- AMINER at the time. The Supreme Court today unamiously beld that the plaintiff could not maintain ao action against the defendant for taking seaweed from the shore aa the shore was not owned by the plaintiff, bat by the Crown. Judgement was therefore catered for the defendant onthe counts in the jeciaration which cpa ges the defendant with taking se*weed. To get to the shore, however, the defend- int had crossed the plaiatiff’s farm, and vad thue comm tted a trespass, for which the jury had fixed the damages at ten cents, and for this smeunt judgement was entered for the plaintiff, under the first count of the declaration. Re application of T Morris tor certiorari, Court discharged the rule with costs. Mr Justice Hedgson diesenting. The point decided by Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Fitzgerald, was that a transfer of liquors in bond was asale within the meaning «of the Seott Act. Mr Justice Hodgron dissented, en! was of opinion that such a tiensaction was oot @ breach cf the Act. Rockers We complete our stock of stock of Reed Rockers to-day.

The whole com- munity is profoundly stirred and most anxious to belp him; but we can look unmoved every day on @ large number possessed and controlled by the demon of just, avarice, intemperance, etc. The sight has become so common as to fail to excite pity or compassion. Plato wrote of the undying war; Lowell siogs of truth forever oc the scaffold, and wrong forever On the throne; and as in other cities so here we have intemperance, lust, vice. Here, consequently, the battle must be fought. Tne problem before Christian nations is, shali men whose instincts are low and worldy control, or shall the | authority be given tothe pure and righi- eous. The proposal, even, to nominate J. L. Sullilvan. for the mayoralty of Beston, the result of the recent contest in Greater New York, shows what strength and in- flence these forceshave reached. In our uwn city, the forces of vice and intemper- ance are fast gaining supremacy over the influence of temperance and virtue. The question for us 1s who shall make our laws and execute them. This class pleads it# rights to be let alone, proposes to com- promise with the Church, says to all good wen and women, “vou have rights; so bave we. We do not wan: your way; you un pot wentoure. Letus elect andselect. Don’t torment us.” This is the attitude of the men that break the laws, and of the men who feed the passions of those who vivlate the laws. Christ likened his people to salt and light; and they cannot compromise with corruption and darkness. Tbe Church ordains ber ministers to preach the Word of God and administer the Sacrements in the congregation. Jesus Christ ordains his people, clergy and laity, to preach the gospel and cast out devils. And they are under obligation to obey their marching orders, and plead fur the mer, said tLe preacher, in whose lives predomupate tne fraite of the spiritto rule the nation aad the world,for the world belongs to the good men and not to the bad. Reason and morality bave the right to make and execute Jaw. The forces of evil are thieves and robbers, like the fabled mon- ster who demanded on a certain day in the year, the sacrifice of a maiden so these demone d mand the lives of the youth of the Jaod. Our doctors know the havoc these classes make who love toalinre and destroy. Self-interest and self-defence should prompt us, as well as mere benevoleuce, to wage perpetual war against the demons of iniquity. People complain about the increase in taxation.
