II school in Kingston. The lad was
placed at the royal grammar school I'M
der the tuition of DR.. Wilson, fellow
of Oxford university. After he had en-
tered his sixteenth year his father
took him away from school
and articled him in the Office
of George Mackenzie, Kingston bar
rister. where che studied law for six
years. Before he was quite twenty-one
he was admitted to the bar, and imme-
diately opened an office at Kingston.
Through his own ability and the in
fiuence of his friends he soon secured
all the business he could give his atten-
ton to. About 9his time Won Shoultz,
a Pole by birth, crossed over from
Ogdensburg at the head of 500 men,
mostly those who had served in the
Lyon Mackenzie troubles which agitated
Canadian territory previous to this, with
the object of invading Canada. They
were defeated and ShoultZ was SEN
fenced to death. 1t was in defense of
this man that young Macdonald first won
his legal spurs.
His spirited defense of the Pole
brought him reputation as lawyer and
plenty of practice. He entered parlia-
ment in 1874 as Tory representing
Kingston. He played an active part

tive party was returned 10 power IN
