FoRr GARRY, Aug. 3.-The noto-
rious Lord Gordon Gordon came to a
tragic end on Saturday night. It ap-
pears that one Monroe, q detective
from Toronto, arrived here on the
stesmer international, with two war;
rants issued by Police Magistrate Nc
Nab, Of Toronto. Ono was on the in
formation of Marshall & Son, jewellers,
Of Edinburgh, Scotland, charging Cor
don with obtaining goods under false
pretenses. The second warrant charg-
ed him with bringing stolen goods in
to Canada. Monroe had the warrants
endorsed by the stipeudiary and mag
istrate here, Gilbert McMinckcn, and
accompanied by two local policemen,
proceeded to Mrs. Corbett's where
Gordon boarded. Monroe made the
arrest in the presence Of others.
Gordon seemed calm and selEpos-
sessed, but asked if this was another
kidnapping affair. On being assured
that it was not, and on hearing the ma
ture and regularity of the arrest, he
begged he would not BE- taken through
the States, and also asked tho :privil-
ege Of changing his clothes for heavier
ones, and the handouts were removed
for that purpose.
Monroe following him closely, he
went to the foot of his bed, pretending
to look for his Scotch cap, when he
seized a pistol and declaring II will
not go step further" placed it to his
right ear and fred, killing himself in.

one in determining tho amount to bo
paid for printing tho entire list.
Tho Commissioners hold tho view
that q repetition Is bat statement Of
the same terms = second time, and il
not. therefore, q nov or additional
description.
That thei r construction is not Just,
Is apparent to the most superficial Oh.
server. For instance !: Suppose A
purchased quarter section in 1860,
aud since then has paid no taxes, his
delinquency for ono year, when pub
lishcd, will appear as follows ::
A. d. SEA Sec. 10 T.103 RIA 1860 $1(
The law requires that each years. de-
linquency shall be published. In full
6llment of tho law, tho foregoing
description, with q change Of the
year, must be repeated twelve times.
The maximum price allowed by law is
Is cents per description, but under the
Commissioners construction tho prin.
ter must publish twelve descriptions
for tho price allowed for tho publica-
ton Of ono. That this would DO un-
just tho Commissioners cannot but
admit. But il is objected by some
who support their view Of the case
that it is only necessary TO publish the
dates, successfully, of the delinquency,
and finally the aggregate amount Of
taxes due. To this We reply, that the
publication Of each succeeding year in
which taxes became due, is of itself
alone the publication Of new descrip.
ton, prcfaccd by an implied description
of the lands taxed. But this objec
ton is purely technical, and tho Count,
Auditor has SO prepared the list as t.
necessitate the publication of the full
description for each separate year
showing conclusively his understand
ing of the law.
The Commissioner opinion is sup
ported by law, no more substantial,
than it is by Justice. If there could
DO any reasonable doubt as to what
constitutes q description in this case,
that doubt is removed by an cxamina-
ton Of Section 6, Chapter 2, Laws o.
1874. which contains a form for th<
use Of tho Clerk in entering judgment
for taxes. In that form, what is de-
scribcd as Tract No. H. is repeated
showing that in making the judgment
entry there must b. as many insertions
Of description as there have been years
during which the taxes were not paid
Section 25 Of tho same chapter pro
vides that the Clerk may tax as costs
in each case, Is cents for the publica.
ton Of each description contained in
the judgment.
TO the minds of people generally,
We think it apparent that law and
justice authorize the payment Of II
cents for the publication of each de-
scription, and for every repetition
thereof.
The Commissioners took no counsc
from their legal adviser, nor from an,
one else qualified to give an oninion.
