The merits of the case was not made
out when we went to press. and there ap-
pears to be conflict Of opinion as to the
guilt of Olney He claims that he appro-
priated no monies not bis by right; that
he merely deducted what was his due on
salary and commissions; that the charge
is malicious and that he will so prove.
On the other hand Mr.. Chaplin says
that Olney's contract expired before he
made the collections aud that his appro-
priations were illegal. Olney contends in
answer to this that the contract was
broken etc,
The case lis one which will be closely

the infant is perfectly natural, and the
