Sd. Benjamin Delisle, High Constable OF
Montreal, with a salary at the mercy Of
The magistrates OF the district lie rs
uncle Of A. NJ. Delislc, whom we before
described. He excued himself considerably
in the Tory service, by arresiing the poll
teal prisoners, and the manner 10 which
he treated them aiterw ards was SAID to be
unnecessarily cruel. He is the same lel-
low who acted So savagely 10 our unioriu-
nate and mauyred friend, Mr.. Joseph Du-
quette.
SIS. c. A. lie Blanc, young student al
law he was among the first arrested IN
Nov. 1897, in the city Of Montreal. He
was thrown into n dungeon for several
weeks, without seeing any living creature
except the turnkey, who brought his daily
food, consisting OF bread and water. His
young and tender wife was near dying
with grief at the Entertainment inflicted upon
him. He remained in Jail till the month OF
July, when he was liberated under heavy
bail and he attended the levee, no doubt,
to thank Mr.. Poulelt Thomson for the
many kindnesses be had received al the
hands OF Victoria's minions. What con-
siderate and grateful creature this Mr.. LIE
Blanc must be-
Sc. Joseph Mason, a wholesale mer-
chant Of Montreal and seignior Of Terre-
bonnie. A very aristocralic person, who
some time affected liberal principles but in
1888, having been called TO the Legislative
Council, he openly sided with the Tory
clique. He belongs TO the Holy Catholic
Church "Family Compact" of Montreal.
In the troubles Of 1888 he was made pri-
soner by the patriots ; and as a Legislative
Councillor and Magistrate, he entered into
treaty with the insurgents, promising
ed, no person Of Tcrrebonne should be
prosecuted for having participated in the
Instruction. But after all the troubles
were over, the poor patriots, who trusted
in the word of this Joseph Mason, whom
they could have put to death, if they had
pleased, were seized upon, thrown into
l. Jail, were sentenced TO death, and are now
gone to Van Dieman's land. Such is the
dependence TO be placed in Tory's sacred
word and honor.
81. Jean Baptiste Mason, a cousin of
the preceding, and now a clerk al his office
in Montreal, after having been apparently
a wealthy merchant Of Sandwich, u. c.,
where the exiravagahcy Of his wife brought
him to inevitable ruin. He was formerly
member of the Assembly Of Upper Can
ada, and voted with The Government
party. He is a brother-in-law or that
Lieut.. Colonel Of Militia, named Elliott.
who had sharp dispute with the murder
er, Prince also uncle to that pnppy-like
fellow, DR.. Reynolds, whom DR.. TheIler
had arrested last winter in the streets Of
Detroit, Michigan, for having stolen from
him watch and some money whilst he
(Dr. Theller) was prisoner of the British
at Sandwich, U. c. Mr.. Mason is man
Of very ordinary capacity.
So. f. Menecler De Morochon, a clerk
to some shopkeeper Of Montreal, and has
always given his vote in favor Of reform
Bayonets and red coats, however, seem to
have silenced his deep love for liberal insii-
tutions. He is man Of no influence.
SO. X. Malhot. the son Of the Hon. F
X. Malhiot, member OF the Legislative
Council. who attended the great meeting
of the Six Counties, but shortly after
wards became awed by the menaces of
the Attorney General, and made declara-
ton against the principal leaders who were
at the great meeting Of ST. Charles, in Oc-
tober, 1887. He now makes protesiations
Of fidelity to one Of those brave men, whom
he had so basely betrayed and lately, we
are informed maid a visit 10 one of the no
