He commended | the â€" Kitchener â€" Police Force for the manner in which they had worked for the public good by bringing the boys in and also Mr. Reinâ€" hold Lang for lending his assistance. In the he@ring of the second case, the evidence proved of a very contraâ€" dieory nature, practically the only point upon which all were agreed beâ€" Ing that Shipton had not been a parâ€" ticipant in the fracas and had advised his'cnmpanlons to keep out of it.
