VERDICT IN ALIENCE CASE “ Because half-a-dozen qrasshoppers under a fern make the field ring with their importunate chink, whilst thous- ands of great cattle, repose' beneath the shadow of the British oak, chew the cud and are silent, pray do not im- agine that those who make the noise are the only inhabi- tants of the field; that of course they are many in number; or that, after all, they are other than the little shrivilled mqgre, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour.”-Burke. The verdict of Judge l\1cl.eod, specially appointed under Royal Warrant as Commissioner in the Commission of Enquiry to try thc charges preferred in the name of the Executive Committee of the Temperance Alliance against certain Government officials is a very serious indicttneiit of the Alliance officials. The Committee preferred numer- ous charges against the Prosecutor of Prince County, the Magistrate of Prince County, the Magistrates and Prosecu- tors of Queen's and King`s counties.

After a searching enquiry and investigation extending over fifteen days, Judge .\1cl.cod’s judgment may be sum- marised as follows: Tho charge that thi- Prosecutor neglected to bring ac- tions against certain pnrtics wht-rc evidence was tciulcrcd him are not sustained by the cvidcnce. The Prosecutor was charged (Al with tampering with a sample bottle of beer before the contents were minl_vscd; and (B) advising dealers to sell llohcmian bcei' as it was in strength below threc per cent. The evidence did not support (A) and no evidence was produced to support (ll). The Prosecutor was charged with absence from duty when required in (`ourt_ The charge was not sustained. The Prosecutor was charged with bringing first offence charges in the cases initiated by the detectives, while they should have been for second and third offences. This action was justified by the evidence and the charge was not proved. ` The Prosecutor was charged with ivithdrawing a sec- ond case against James ;\lcLellan when evidence for a coiivictiomwns sufficient.
