.The Toronto Mails correspondent , tele-

graphing¬

from Montreal on the 18th ult .

says : The sad wreck of the happiness andfuture prospects llfa family well knownand hitherto greatly esteemed among thehigher class Cd of society hero , with whomthey mix - d , will cuusu thu deepest painand surprise when it becomes known thatthe father , Mr . Lewis Anldjo , cashier inthe Hudson Bay Company's office , has em ¬

beZclodII very large amount from the compony and absconded to (the United States .

Mr: Auldjo entered the company's serviceabout seven years since , having been previously beekeeper to a prominent brokerin the city . The salary which his contractentitled him to for the first year was only$500 , but ha performed! his duties so satisfactorily that thu CI'IIII'allYut' the end ofthe year presented him with §200 extra .

His emoluments weri ' subsequently aug ¬

mented until they wore $1,200 or $1,400per annum . Not satisfied , however , tosupport his family in the position whichhis properlY'l1.cquiredmeans would enablehim to do , the defaulter commenced a sys ¬

tem embezzlement almost from his en .

trance into the service , and went on in-creasing the amount year by year up to theaccidental discol'eryof his delinquencies afew days since , in order to Icy out themoney in a lavish expenditure on thosedepending upon him . His defalcationswere concealed by falsification of his books ,

and but for an incident which led to thestartling development of his criminality ,

his dishonest career might have gone onad infimtum . The discovery arose out ofhis obtaining a comparatively small sumof money from the firm of Ogilvio & Cu .

on a bun to which ho attached the signaI

ture of the company . Through either forgetfulness or sumo other cause ho failed toredeem the security , and after thu lapseof some weeks the document wns sentover to the office for payment at a momentwhen he was temporarily absent . Onbeing handed the note of hand , the man .

ager was astonished to think thatthe signature of the Hudson Bay Co .

was: ,floating about for small loans . Horecognized Mr . Auldjo'a handwriting , andon his return he was called on for an ex ¬

planation . Tile latter could not give asatisfactory coo , and the in.Umyci a sus ¬

picions were aroused and ho at once sus-pended him . The next course was tohave his books examined , and so fur asthis has gone it is found that the absconder is $7,400 in default , but how muchmore it may be of course it will takesome time to determine . It is no easytask to make a carefulscrutiny of thebooks ofan establishment engaged insuch gigantic business transactions us theHudson Bay company for a period, ofseven years .

After the revelations which the examination led to the directors of Londonwere cabled for instructions note actwith the defaulter , when an answer cameto prosecute him . On leal'Dinthis bysome means Auldjo cleared across theline ; and is said to be living in 1'lnttsburgwithout any fear of being arrested , as hisoffence unfortunately does not como un-

der¬

the extradition treaty . His familyconsists of his wife , three most ladylikeand handsome daughters , who have hadthe entree of society circles htre , and oneson . It has often been remarked amongtheir most intimate friends how they kejitup such an extravagant appearitnue ladross and style on the moderate moanswhich the head of the family was earning .

Since Mr . Auldjo's hasty departure thefamily have given up their expensive resi ¬

dence in the city and have gone out a fewmiles into the country . Iam assuredthat they are in absolute penury , all themoney illegally abstracted from the Hud

'¬

son Bay Company having been spent al-

most¬

as fast as it was obtained . Thu af-

fair¬

has been concealed in a wonderfulmanner . .

TUG LAW GRAB QUESTION DISPOSED OX .

The followingcomm uti ication was readfrom Messrs . Drake d Juckaon in.reply ; tothe questillnof the committee 'n'ppbintdd towait on them in the matter of the west

tine of Government street ::II

To the Mayor awl Council .II

GENTLEMEN :Iii reply to the question IIof the committee with respect to thestreet lines whether it iia necessary that II

Mr . Russell's' building should be built enthe new line which thu Act of 1881 en ¬

able the corporation to lay down as thewest Hue of Government street " we are ofopinion it is not , as it is optional with thecorporation to carry out the provisions of

that Act or not .

The map as registered under the Act of1S30 , defines n line for the west side ofGovernment street , and the corporationcan give to any lot holder a line in ac ¬

cordance with such registered map , anda lot holder under section 5 is entitledto have that line given him .

Yours , obdtly .DRAKE & JAcKSON .

Coun . McLean wished to ascertain whogave the line for the new post.offieo front .

Tlo was of opinion that it was not givenby order of the Council , but that Mr .

Ticdeman: defined it, without any4referen.eewhatever to the Council or city.aurveyor .

SUI'eralcuuucillors were of the sameopinion .

Coun . Wrifjlesworth . moved that thecommunication be received and

k

tiled .

The question for thu Council to decidewas whether Mr . Russell should take theold line or that of Mr . Levy's brick build .

ing . As this building only encroachedon the old line some three or four inches ,

and as the city barrister had decided thatthe council could establish any line theypleased , ho would move that Mr . Russellbo instructed to build on the lillu of that . .

building , and that that line ba adoptedfrom Johnson to Yates streets .

Seconded by Coun . Boyd . .

Coun . McLoan wished to hold the Do-

minion¬

Government responsible for theencroachment of the post office buildingon the street . With every desire tonlig) " Mr 1 ". u"11 hcMiH sift but cometo the conclusion that it would be muchbetter to confine him to the original line .

The Council had been treated very badlyby the architect of the post office build ,ing and ho was not at all disposed to sub Imit to such treatment . Adopting the old i

line would strengthen the hands of theCouncil in dealing with the post office

I

line , and they would be enabled to keepclear of any difficulty in the future Theold line should certainly be adhered to .

Ho would move in amendment that theoriginal line be adopted .

Seconded by Coun . Kinsman .

Uoun . \Vicltus was lf> opinion that if II

any question of this solrt should coma upI I

in the future it could bo dealt with on its I

merits , and this decision would not inter Ifere with it . He would support theamendment .

Coun . Boyd considered that the streetwould look butter if all the buildings . fromJohnson to Yules street were on a linewith Levy's briok building . '

.JCoun . Wrifileawurili would establish the

line asked for in his motion from Johnson. ) to Yates only . There would be jogson, the street anyway , mid one more orless would be of little consequence . TheCouncil I"uldnot commit themselves byAdopting the line of Levy's brick building .

Amunilinent curried , three to two .

or-EMh'o YATES STREET .

Coun . Wriglcsworth referred to a communication from Mr. Pearse on the quostin of opening up Yates street throughto the C.d buru B.iy road undu.iked if any

,

action h\d been taken on it . ' I

Coun . McLean ha.im'lde several en ¬II

quiries about the matter , especially of the,

U . B . Co . , and hid found that seriousdifficulty would bo encountered in opening '

up the street . The cost would be threeor four thousand dollars And this wouldIbe much more than the finances of , the ii

'

city would bear at present .

Cuun . Wrigles worth did not want thoI I

city to spend ono dollar in opening upYntes street at present . All 'Ik d forWitS to arrange with Mr . Pearce for theline of s'rcet and for the city surveyor tomark this line on the ground .

Coun . McLean thought that Coun .

Wriglosworth did not understand thequestion , and ho was uropiny in the dark: .

The new Act gave the Council power toobtain land anywhere and pay fur it byarbitration . He objected to doing ; this atpresent as there would bo but little advantage in opening (the street just , at thistime . 1 he cost would be a serious , ob-

jection¬

as there was a ' rock to blast nwayas high us the room in which they were

.,.

seated .

The clerk then read the communica(tion in question and said, that it had beenplaced in the hands of the street committee and that the matter was' in abeyanceas Mr . Monro , of the II.B.Co .'

had referred it to the homo authorities .

Coun . Wrijles\vorth( did not see whythe city surveyor should not mark out theline of the street . He would thereforemove that ho be instructed to ' do sothrough Mr Pearse's property . The streetwould not touch the H . B . Co's land atall .

Seconded by Coun . Vigelius and carried .

Weiler vs . Moore and Lipsott-At 3 p .

From evidence of the plaintiff it appear .ed that in May , 1880 , the defendant * wereregistered owners of the Gertrude , andthat both had at different times orderedsupplies for the boat amounting toSill 37J , S61 75 of which was ordered byLipsett and the remainder by Moore .

Liiaott, had paid for the amount orderedby him , but had refused to pay the ac ¬

count contracted by Moore . There wasnothing to . show that Moore had any au ¬

thority from Lipsett to obtain or ordergood * . The evidence of Lipsett showedthat he was owner in trust for Callbreath ,

Grant & Cook , and purser and managerof the boat , and that the duty devolvedupon him alone of ordering goods ; furthor that under arrangements with Moorethe Litter was to fit the boat up and makeserviceable for the season of 1880 at hisown cost .

THE LAZAR SHIP .

Two Fresh Cases Break Out .

Now from the Henry Buck , the quar-antined harque . states that the wife ofCnpt . Davis anda Chinese pasesengerhave been attacked with the smallpox .

Two days ago the captain's wife was confined and hr condition under the circumstances iis at least Iperilous' . NowthatshehuII eon brought to deaths door through thenotion of the authorities , she may belegally; brought ajhoie ! The unfortunatelady should have been landed from thevessel several days agn ; so should nil theiiasBenRers . It is the patients who shouldhave been kept nn board instead of beingbrought off to , perhaps , spread the divease . The situa'ion nf the unfortunate,

persons who are forced to re in tun on!! marc the pliguehhipith death: in itsmost I'liithsonic' } form staring them inthe face is very diktresising , andought to arouse thu active sympathy ofevery one . A correspondent in anothercolumn makes , the suggestion that theships c" mpany should be lauded on one ofthe many suitable" islands that dot thiscoast and there quarantined . In themime of hunmnity a public protest shouldbe entered against the treatment theBucks puoplu are being subjected to . Inother provinces quarantine grounds areprovided and set upnrt for just such urnurgencies . Here . in spits "fmLn: ,'sad warnings , nil provision has been made ;

andm coniuquenceof this mmegiectsomo 300souls! are coped' up in a small barque onboard of> f which the smallpox is selectingfresh victims daily . To land the pas.ien-:

gors would put the Dominion Governmentto the exponsu 'maintnining'

; them , whileif they remain on board the ship will haveto bear the expense . We can scarcely be-lieve that the real condition of affairs isunderstood at Ottawa , for a more inhumancoerce than that adopted towards thjDucks people could nut well bo devised .

LATER .
