chat with F, II. McGuigan, formerly
third vice president and manager of the

Gated at Toronto, engaged in large

The decision of Essex County Court
upon the motions for new trials in the
eases of Michael Muzroll VS.. e. E. Hetu
and Fred Jolien vs.. same was handed
down Saturday last. In the Jolien case
the moton was denied. In the Muzroll
case the Court found that though no
surprise, accident or mistake was proved,
the damages were possibly excessive and
a new trial would be granted, unless the
plaintiff should accept 5000 and costs in
full satisfaction of his Judgment it
rendered to his attorney within thirty
days. Attorneys Amey and Blake went
to Guildhall Monday, and made such
arrangements that Mr.. Hetu was dis
charged and with his wife passed

route for his home at Upton, p. Q.
