Church representatives, without q hearing
from Grace Church at the time. He has
since written kindly letter to Grace
Church. The vestry OF Christ Church, con-
trary 10 the advice OF the bishop Of the
diocese and the solicitation OF Grace Church
has in every instance refused 10 confer
with the vestry- OF Grace. Then Rev. DIR.
Stuart WIS rector OF Grace. and at the

Church asked that she be given the control
OF this. as Of the 1850. but the vestry OF
Grace refused to grant the request. There
upon Rev. DR.. Stuart resigned the rector
ship of Grace. Subsequently when Grace
stated that she was prepared to meet the
81 GO stipulation, her representatives were
told by Christ that there was no money
for them: 1t was claimed by Grace that the
S@.5o, with interest for years. was due
them. Christs representatives said that
the interest had been already turned over
to Grace, but the principal was not TO be
so disposed OF by their vestry. A motion
was therefore made, and urged by DR.. Stu
art that the money be offered to the origi-
nal donors of their heirs. This was opposed

his vote in favor of the motion, and il was
carried. Grace Church still claims. as do
others, that the 81, 5so is due as stipulated
for the object for which 1t was collected.

Nicholson. He did not tarry long, though
rot seeming particularly anxious 10 sell his
goods. kilmartin, not being satisfied with
any of Nichofson's stock asked for the re-
turn OF his old glasses which he had given
the peddier to hold pair OF steel-rimmed
similarly appearing glasses were handed

had given to the Jew TO hold. The peddler
