Court House Notes

treasurer's accounts last week and prepared their report to the County
Council which meets on Tuesday the 21st of March.

Michael Roach, who was sentenced to two years in the pen at Kingston for
burglarizing the store of D.P. Foster in this village, was removed to that
institution on Wednesday of last week by Constables Grant and Evans. The old
chap was inclined to be a little saucy to the judge when being sentenced, as
he told the judge he couldn't just do as he liked.

The news of the death of County Councillor Congdon, of Dunnville, on
Saturday last, was received at the Court House with sincere regret and
sympathy. The deceased by his able and wise conduct of county affairs in the
past, and honourable and gentlemanly conduct had endeared himself to a large
number of his acquaintances in this part of the county, and in his sudden
demise the County Council has lost one of its most able members.
