THE FENIAN CLEHOYMAN.—Rev. Dr. Lumaden,
an episcopalian clergyman, who was 'bested with the
Fenian' near Fort Erie, was tried at Toronto on the 2nd,
and acquitted. It was proven in evidence that he had
intervened for the protection of the inhabitants, in
one instance having demanded pay for his ser-
vices from a Canadian farmer, and an attempt
was made to prove that be had been ordered away from
camp by General O'Neil as a Britisn spy. Testimony
went to show that be was addicted to liquor, and had
been requested to resign his position as a minister by the
Bishop of New York on that account. Among
those present as witnesses for the defence were
Bishop Core, Dr. Trowbridge, Rev. Mr. Hills,
Colonel Thomas, United States army, and Mr.
Hodge, of Buffalo ; Rev. Mr. Greenhorn and Dr. Kemp-
son, of Fort Erie ; Hon. J. H. Cameron, R. A. Harrison,
J. M'Nab. The wife of the prisoner, • young woman of
ladylike demeanour, occupied • seat next to her husband's
counsel, and seemed to feel the unfortunate position her
husband was placed in. When the jury brought in
verdict of " Not guilty," the prisoner was visibly affected
and burst into tears. The judge addressing him
said:—David F. Lumsden, the jury have taken a
merciful view of your case and acquitted you. You
must feel painfully the disgraoeful position in which
you have been phased, and, but that the jury considered
that at the time you were at Fort Erie you were not re-
sponsible for your actions in consequence of your inordi-
nate love of drink, you would most probably have for-
feited your life. To see a man of your ability brought
down to your position by intemperance is very sorrowfuL
I sincerely hope it may prove a lesson to you to be more
careful for the future and avoid bad company. You are
now discharged." After the prisoner left the dock he em-
braced his wife, and was completely overpowered by
emotion. lie then drove oft to the American Hotel.
