Mr. Justice Arsensult, in address- ing the Grand Jury, expressed the sympathy of the Court for the Chief Justlc: in the unfortunate accident which necessitated his b ca from the Bench. as presiding judge, the first occasion in fourtcen years ab- sent nttho bpening of Court in Queen's County. This Province may

“ itself very fortunate when compared with the other provinces of Connie and with the states of the Unim. There is little unemploy- ment in the City of Charlottetown. It fl true that thc price of produce ls not very high, but the Island fun-en are more provident than than of runny other localities. The western farmers depend entirely on their wheat crop for their livelihood to the neglect of mixed farming, hence they are in difficulties. The some principle applies here as re- lttmls the potato crop.

In every country in the world. the motor car has changed the system of living considerably, Mr. Justice Arseneult stated. It has created a demand for‘ better roads, but it has also brought its difficulties. Men, ordinarily careful, when they get on the road with a motor car, scam to lose all sense of responsibility. The motor car should always be, under control and the driver should be able to manage his car so as to be able to avoid an accident at any time.

The Court commended the work done up to the present by the Pro- vincial Police force, and hoped that the force would look after motorists driving recklessly, especially in the vicinity of turns of the road and in going up hill. At. this session there are two cases’ of mdnslaughter to collie before the court, both arising from the driving of cars. It ls no excuse at all to say that the sun shining in ones eycs prevented see- ing properly, and s person was kill- ed. It does not do to see an object lying on the road and disregard it entirely. as did the driver of a car who is charged with manslaughter. It will be for the Grand Jury to state whether the parties accused are to be sent up for trial. There is one case in which n young man was picked up on the road suffering from injuries received by a car driven by another young man passing over his body. There is also e. case of theft. Evidence shows that a young man wclit to a social and attempted to borrow money. Later lie returned with money. An article in evidence is s car register. found in the pos- session of the accused. This article was missing from the robbed store.

,It Will be the duty of the Grand

Jury to visit the hospital for the in- sane. This institution should be sub- ject to a. close inspection, as the in- mates are helplem and rely entirely on the public. The jail must also be examined. At present there are 38 prisoners confined there. These in- clude some ten who are there as win- tel- lodgers, imprisoned on charges of vagrancy. It is a. pity, His Lordship thought, that they are not made to work for their board.

The first case celled was The King vs. Ellsworth Wilson, being an appeal from a conviction of theft before the Chief Magistrate for Queen's County. On application of counsel for appel- lant and on consent of the Attorney General the appeal was r sustained and the conviction quashed. R. R. Bell for sppelvnt. Mr. Thane Camp- bell for respondent.

The Court met in the last session of the day shortly before fl p. m. and brought in the two indictments. The accused in both cases pleaded not guilty. The Grand Jury will com- plete the hearing of the third crim- inal case this morning, that of Her- bert Gallant. who is charged with breaking and entering and with

theft. r

l ‘The Court adjourned till ll o'clock ‘_ is morning when the trial of ‘George Smith for manslaughter will begin.

on the east end of Sydney Street. if Fortunately the‘ - blaze wvas‘ discover- ‘ ed before much hcaclwnywcs made and the prompt; response by the fire- men prevented what might otherwise have been a serious conflagratlon. Mr. McMurrer was awakened by the smell of smoke and. thinking it was kindling near tilekltcllen stove we it down stairs to investigate. Finding everything in the house as it'should be he opened the beck door and no- ticed smoke issuing from the barn loft and heard the crackling of the flames. The firemen at once respond- ed to the alarm and extinguished the blaze by means of the chemical on- Edne in a very short time. The flrc is believed to be of incendiary orig- in, as the lock had been twisted off the door, and footprints in the snow showed that someone had left the p premises over the fence in the roar of. the premises. Only a short time ago fire which was discovered in this barn destroyed a. horse owned by Mr. McMurrer and at that time he thought the staples were drawn from the door. When repairs were made he fastened thc staples with nuts on the inside, so that they could not. easily be removed. Mr. MoMurrer states that the fire orlBlnflffld 1Y1 practically the same Dflrt 0f the barn as the previous conflagration.
