Old Case Threshed Over.


The other leading witnesses We're the
same who testified in the other case In
the Hastings Court, and they gave in the
same evidence. Among them were Rev.
III. l.. Weston, the Little Minister and
Mayor Mccarthy.
The only stirring feature of the hearing
was a little spat between the Mayor and
Mr.. G. K. Pollock. of counsel for defense.
While on the stand and under cross-ex-
animation. the Mayor remarked that he
was trying to tell the truth, but Mr..
Pollock was trying to make him lie. Mr..
Pollock vigorously denied the charge and
added: II do not question your honesty,
hut I think you have been wool-gather-
ing
1t was little after noon when the tes
timony and argument were concluded ana
Justice Crutchtleld said: IT find the
prisoner guilty and sentence him to four
months in jail" No appeal was noted
at the time, but counsel have ten days in
which to decide whether or not they will
appeal the case to the Hastings Court,
before which tribunal the penalty in the
other case was raised from four to six
months.
Messrs. Gilbert K. Pollock and George
p. Wise appeared for the prisoner, and
Mr.. Minetree Folkes for the Common
wealth. Burton seemed to be cheerful
while in court, and when the case was
concluded he shook hands very cordially
with Justice Crutchfield.
