Considerable comment is made on the ruling
of Trial Justice Waldron in the case of Paul
Huard, convicted of rumselling. The friends
of the defendant claimed that it was re-
vengeful act on the part of the complainant, as
she is the wife of Mr.. Levi Lashus who was
convicted of violating the U. S. license law,
and is now serving his sentence in jail, Huard
being the principal witness against him. All
sectarian and even temperance influences that
could be commanded were used in favor of
Huard. 1t was stated that since the religious
revival last November he had not sold or drunk
drop of liquor, and has been straightforward
church member. Notwithstanding the good
he has done since he joined the church and the
good resolutions he has made we think Mr..
Waldron's ruling cannot be questioned. The
evidence was sufficient to convict and after the
decision was rendered Huard said himself that
the decision was right and that he ought to
be punished. 1t may not be unjust to state
herewith that this same Paul Huard was
brought before the same Trial Justice on the
21st of August 1875, and was convicted OF SELL
ing liquor, and his professions and resolutions
at that time were the same as in the recent
case. Notwithstanding this he acknowledges
that he has been engaged in the liquor bust
ness since the date of the previous prosecution.
