Mr. Coombs, clerk of the Highway Board, said Mr. Ward
produced to the board an account charging £6 for a deputy-
collector, but it could not be allowed unless sanctioned by the

account signed by Mr. P4on, NA chairman of the vestry. Imme-

nothing about it. Under these circumstances the _Highway

Mr. Williams said the question was whether the vestry

arising out of a dispute as to who had loaded the most Man-

ibises Setuese, • little boy 0 years of age, wee charged with
stealing money belonging to the managers of the Maiden
Newton National School.
Mr. John Brown said he had been schoolmaster at Maiden
Newton for 10 years. &riven had attended the school about 6
years. On Friday week on leaving the school, in Ms disk,
which was looked,was a smell box full of copper money. Be did
not know exactly how much, but it avenged from 10. to
It.. Ile never left silver these. On going to the echoed on
Sunday, he found the lock of the desk broken, and the money

t and from what he said,he concluded Salves
=len the money. They saw the boy's father and mother,
whom he told they had come to accuse kiosk of seeing
money, some of which another boy bud Ir m brought to them
(the parents). They at ones admitted ust, have stolen
money, but said they did not know where—they thought
probably it was from themeelms, and the boy was upstalrs
where he had been beaten by his father for doing it. lie was
called down and witness questioned him as follows:
Where aid you get the money I At the echoed.
When! Between 5 and 6 on Saturday night.
How did you get in) Went into the playground and found
one of the schoolroom doors unbolted.
Hew did you get the de& open I With a stick.
I said I did not think that was so, and he then mid he did
it with the iron handle of • litUe printing press In the school.
Stillman had previously found the handle would fit the mark
that was made. Then the boy admitted he did It with the
iron handle.
Did you lied the mooey loose or in a box I It was loose.
What happened to the box when you took it up I The
bottom fell out.
The boy also told him that be took an much money as he
could massage and went off. He toll them where he hid
about 4s, and what he had done with the res. Stiliono had
cautioned him not to hold out any inducement or threat to
the boy to make any admissions, and he did'at know that he
did. tie asked him why he did nut Mil his ruother where he
got the money that had just before been brought in by a ad
of 16, and the boy said he did. That the mother denied, and
afterwards explained she thought the boy meant another school
where he went on Sundays. The managers of the school were

the prosecutor..
Kr. Coombs; It IA a case where an attorney ought to be
empim ed. They had to wade through a lot of evidence
much of which it was difficult to tall off-hand whether it was
admissible or not.
Kr. Pearce remarked it Deemed a question whether the
mother was not a party to receiving the money knowing It to
be stolen.
Tie boy's father said be was at home whoa the other lad
brought 18 penee'all in coppers.
Closely questioned by the magistrates and Kr. Coombs,
Mr, Brown said he didn't think he used the words •• Don't be
afraid." Ile might hare said "speak the truth."
The lad's father said Yr. Brown told him to "speak up and
tell the truth."
Yr. Brown was not certain that he did not say "Yoe had
better speak the truth."
Mr. Pearce said the law wee exceedingly jealous its to how
confessions were obtained, and Mr. Brown being the lad's
schoolmaster made It the mom Important.
P.S. Stillman mid he beilmed that in the course of the Con-
versation-4,1,cm.. the middle of It—Kr. Brown said to the boy
it will be better for you to tell the truth.
Kr: Brown thought he might have said some such words
whoa I nao seaj lay Wyo.
Yr. Coombe remarked '& little knowledge is a dangerous
thing," sod It reined that the ir.hoolmader having taken on
himself the part of a lawyer, had made a muddle out. They
mud reject that fart of his evidence relating to the boy's ad-
missions. Now the question WU whether they could get suffi-
cient evidence without It.
Stillman mid the lad's parents, and especially his father,
urged him to tell the truth.
; Mr. Brown said that he probably said to the lather It will be
. better for bins to tell the truth.
