provided the right of way be given by the city along St.Catherine street, - Second\u2014The point of junction between the Montreal, Ottawa and Western Railway and the North Shore Railway shall be in the City of Montreal.T'hird\u2014The North Shore Railway shall come into this city by way of Terrebonne and not by Bout de 1\u2019Isle, the latter line being considered too expensive and open to danger on account of the drawbridge which it will require.Subsequently the plan showing the North Shore routes to Montreal, and the engineers report, were received.It was determined to report to Council, with whom the matter will be left for decision.The Rev.James Roy, A.M., Suspends - cd\u2014-His Teachings Condemned as Herétical.The following is the judgment delivered by the Committee of tlie Methodist Church ap- ointed to investigate the charges of heresy Brought against this learned and able minister of the denomination : \u2018 Whereas, on the 21st day of April, 1877, Rev.J.Borland, of St.Johns, institute , ACcording to disciplinary process, certain charges against the Rev.J.LAM, (which charges are hereto annexed), v.G.Doug- Jass, LL.D., Chairman of the Montreal District, by the powers given him in the Discipline of the Methodist Church of Canada (pp.84-85) convened the following committee for the investigation of said charges: Rev.G.H.Davis, Rev.J.Armstrong v.M.L Pearson, Rev.J.Wilson, Rev.WI.Shaw.\u201cThe Committee, having heard the charges supported by Rev.J.Borland, and the statements of the Rev.J.Roy in reply, present the following judgment : \u2018* We find that the charge on the 5th Count (which we have considered first), viz., that relating to the Authority of the Holy Scriptures as a Rule of Faith, has been sustained.That the charge on the 1st Count, relating to the Trinity, has been sustained.That the charge on the 2nd Count, relating to the Incarnation, has been sustained.That the charge on the 3rd Count, relating to the Atonement, hag been sustained.On the 4th Count of the charge we find 1st, That the references of Mr.Roy to the subject of Retribution are few and limited.2nd, That Mr.Roy does not fully hold the teachings of Wesley regarding the basis of the sinner\u2019s condemmnation.3rd, That we gladly recognize the fact that Mr.Roy avows his decided beljer in the eternity of future retribution.\u201c We, therefore, regret to be obliged to condemn the teachings promulgated by Mr.Roy in bis pamphlet as rationalistic in their basis, in some respects absolutely Unitarian, and in nearly every respect Bocinian in their tendencies.* We regret that we find in these teachings not only a departure from the standards of faith of the Methodist Church of Canada, but also a decided antagonism to the orthodox views of all evangelical ¢hurches, and much as we regret tobe thus obliged to condemn the views of a brother whose character and ability we highly esteem, we still feel bound by our obligations to truth and to the Church to render the aforesaid judgment.\u201c G.DOUGLAS, Chairman.\u201cGi, H, DAVIS.\u201c M.L.PKARSON.\u201cWILLIAM I.SHAW.\u2018The undersigned member of the com- mittce hereby approves of the foregoing judgment only so far as it relates to the preamble and to the §th or 3rd counts or charges, \u201cJOIN WILSON.\u2018The undersigned member of the committee not being satisfied as to the meaning attached by Mr.Roy to the expression \u2018eternity of future retribution,\u2019 dissents from the 3rd section of the finding on the 4th count, concurring in the remainder of the judgment, \u2018J.ARMSTRONG.* Montreal, May 15, 1877.\u201d We learn that, at the aftermoon session, the committee, according to the disciplinary powers given them, after a lengthy discussion, agreed upon the suspension of Mr.Roy from the ministry of the Chureh until the District meeting, one dissenting.THB LAFLAMME CONTESTED ELECTION CASE.Superior Court\u2014Ist Division.Hon, Justice Dorion presiding.The first witness called was Celestin Le- blane, of St.Genevieve : Voted at the last election ;

Mr.Laflamme wasnota Blew ; Nr.St.Jean had intimated that he would get a situation ; it takes, at the most, about an hour to gofrom Point ( laire to St.Genevieve ; St.Jean had offered to give him a situation if he voted for Laflamme ; the consequence of his not voting for Laflamme was that he was without work all winter, while others got jobs in the quarry.To Mr.Monk\u2014Had not spoken to any oue about the testimony he was to give ; spoke to Mr.Laflamme this morning, but not on the testimony he had to give ; had been told that he would get a place at the quarry, by Mr.St.Jeanand Mr.St.Denis, if be went fo work at Pointe Claire; Mr.St:Jcan had not spoken to him abont his vote in the presence of St.Denis.e .Maxime Leblane, of St.Genevieve, was a votcrat the last election ;

had received a letter from Mr.Jette, upon which he bad gone to see Mr.Latlamme ; the reason he had gone to see the letter was because, as he represented him, he had a few words to tell him ; had not received any money from him ;

later, Da- puis had paid it himself ; never gave money to anyone to treat the electors, nor treated them himself; the $40 spent were for his cwn personal expenses; gave $2 to Mr.Boileau, Sen.; gave him this money to recompense him for cleaning his house, as the electors had dirtied it with mud from the road ;

he was strongly opposed to this plan ; Mr.Eustache Lemay worked in Mr.Laflamme\u2019s interest ; never treated an elector during the whole contest ; that is to say, might have tieated an elector in the capacity of a friend, but not to influence him ; had à private room at Sauve\u2019s hotel ; when he required a glass of wine Le had it brought to this recom, To Mr.Gecffion\u2014 Was charged to superintend the contest, and observe the law ; the 82 he had given to Mr.Boileau were for the purpose of paying for the cleaning up of the room, which had been soiled by the large crowd that had met there: could swear that it in no way influenced his vote ;

the boat was Just arriving at St.Ann\u2019s at the time; the money produced might have amounted to six or eight quarters; witness refused to go, saying that he would not vote for Mr.Laflamme, as the latter did not please him ; Mr.Lebeau, who was proprietor of the butcher shop occupied by witness at St.Ann\u2019s, told him that if he did not vote for his party (Laflamme\u2019s) he would have to pay his rent in advance, or look out for a new place ; Lebeau was a strong partizan of Laflamme\u2019s.To Mr.Geoffrion : When Latour offered the money to send him to Lachine, he had done so openly.The Court took a recess till 2 p.m.Special Notices.THE carpets remaining from yesterday's annual carpet sale will be closed out on Thursday morning at thefregular sale at Shaw\u2019s building, when an immense collee- tion will be sold, to clear the store for the flower sale, CATALOGUES of the great May sale may be had on Thursday afternoont when the magnificent collection will be on exhibition.Those who are so fortunate as to have delayed purchasing until now will reap the benefit of their prudence in buying at this sale.Sce advertisement.Henry J.Shaw, auctioneer, MONTREAL STOCK REPORT.(Reported specially for the STAR.)

Lady Dufferin inspected it on Monday and was delighted.The various sized copies are excellent; even in cabinet- sized pictures nothing is lost.All who have five minutes to spare should drop into Not- man\u2019s and see this fine work.As illustrating an interesting phase of Canadian life, no more suitable gift could be sent to friends abroad.Financial.STAR OFFICE, } May 16, 3.00 p.m.§ The moncy market remains quiet, although a fair enquiry exists at the Banks from berrowers.Sterling Exchange is quiet, with sales at 94 to 93 for round amounts between banks, and 9;

A.C.Leslie & Co., ageuts for Maxwell & Neilan, iron masters, of Glasgow, Ecotland, plaintiffs, and Cooper, Fair- man & Co., of this city, defendants, was heard to-day.It was instituted to compel the payment of a draft of $2,100 for irom, which defendants alleged wag of bad quality.Eeveral interesting points were raised in tie case, including : 1st.Whether purchasers bad the right to accept part of the goods.2nd.Whether accepting draft before arrival of goods debarred plaintiffs from raising the question of bad quality ; and 3rd.Whether, the goods being shipped through direct to Oshava, plaintifls were bound to inspect at Montreal.The case was taken en delibere.Mr.Tait, of Abbott, Tait, Wotherspoon & Abbott, appeared for defendants, and Mr.Kerr, Q.C., with Mr.Archibald as attorney, for plaintiffs, Rev.James Roy\u2019s Case-\u2014 What He Will De.Just before going to press a representstive of the STAR had a short conversation with Mr.Roy relative to the judgment of the Committee ofthe Methodist Churoh reported elsewhere in our columns, 80 short à time has elapsed since he was furnished with the decision of the committee, that he is not at present in a position to say definitely what course he will take to defend himself before other and higher courts of the denomination.He considers the Judgment harsh and prejudiced against him, more especially since neither the charges, nor the arguments submitted in support of them, have been given to the public, whereby a fair opinion could be formed of the basis upon which the judgment rests.Asthe matter stands, he holds that he has been condemned in a Star Chamber and only the e parte judgment of the Committee, pronouncing him a heretic, made publie.\u201cTe still holds that his views, fairly and dispassionately weighed, are in full sympathy with those propounded in the 33 sermons and volumes of notes of the founder of Methodism\u2014John Wesley.These.he holds, are the only legal standards, and not, the twenty-five Articles to which the ultimate appeal can made.Mr.Roy feels that the Rev.Dr.Douglass, to say the least, held an anomalous position in being not only the originator and promoter of the charges, his accuser, in fact, but also presided as chairman of the tribunal that considered and passed judgment upon the case.The only document or teacking upon whieh the charges rested is the late pamphlet published by Mr.Roy, and from that e has been adjudged, so far as the committee could, a Rationalist, Unitarian and Socinian, eis Jreparing hts defence, in so far as the limited time will permit, and it will be published in the STAR on Friday next.Mr.Roy, of course, will submit to the sentence that has been formulated against him, in so far as not breaching any more in the Sherbrooke Street Church, but a hall will be provided for him, where he will hold services and preach on Sunday next, A Bailiff in Difieulties.Some time ago a citizen residing on Ontario street, being desirous of starting a little business of his own, obtained a loan of £5) from his brother-in-law, on condition of returning the money in instalments.He first bought a stock of candies, apples and other nick-nacks, and then an old Jaded Liorse and a cart.His funds being exhausted, he was under the necessity of borrowing a harness from a benevolent widow neighbor, who remarked, as she lent it to him: \u201cThat the poor must help the r.\u201d\u201d Things went on b pretty smoothly till one day the lender of the $5, finding that his brother-in-law did not pay him back as purctually ns was agreed upon, took out ascizure against him, and sent the bailiffaround.On the first visit this fune- tionary was not very well received by the wife ofthe owner of the horse, and had to beat a hasty retreat.However, he was not to be turned off in this way, and came back with his records, or helpers.This time the husband was in the yard with his horse and cart, and the bailiff lost not a moment in putting a seizure on the animal, cart and harness.Several young urchins, who witnessed the proceedings, ran to the widow and told her that her harness was being seized, upon which she ran out with her sleeves rolled up to her shoulders- the was making dough at the time-and rushing up to the bailiff, told him in a very determined manner that (he harness was her property and he should not take it away.The bailiff replied she could take out an opposition, it would only cost $4, and recover er harness.She answered that it was much more than the harness was worth, and proceeded to forcibly take possession of her property.Then a scene of confusion ensued.Tableau \u2014 The widow pulling all her might on onc end of the harness, and the bailiff and his helpers tugging at the other.The widow, na urally, was getting the worse, when, just in the nick of time, an acquaintance of hers, a big strapping girl, passed by.and;on being loudly called on to assist by the widow, this amazon quickly responded.Her immense weight told in the balance, and suddenly a trace of the harness to which the bailiff held on broke, and he fell full length to the ground.The recruit promptly administered a\u2018 right-hander\u201d from the shoulder to one of the helpers and sent him sprawling.The females then ran away with the harness, amid the shouts and laughter of the numerous bystanders.The police from the station\u2019 were present, and could not help but sympathise with the rightful owner of the house furniture.The poor bailiff remarked, as he looked at the smiling policemen, that he could get no protection from them, and, promised he would take steps to vindicate the dignity of his profession, so the sequel may be looked for in the Courts.Bank of Montreal.The following is the an

COURT.What Has Become of Mrs.Dwyer and $1,000 of Creditors\u2019 Money?\u2014A Queer Case of Swearing \u2014 The Mystery Should be Cleared Up.In this Court, to-day, before &lon.Mr.Justice Torrance, the case of John Dwyer, an insolvent, was called.Mr.Dwyer was examined by Mr.Cross, Q.C., who appeared for the assignee.It appears that, ina previous examination, the insolvent admitted that he had given his wife £1,000 in cash belonging to the estate, which had never found its way into the hands of the assignee.The question to-day was: What became of Mrs.Dwyer with the money ?and, as will be seen by the extraordinary evidence of the insolvent, there was very little light evolved from the apparent mystery.\u2019 John Dwyer, examined by Mr.Cross, Q.C.\u2014Wheie\u2019s your wife ?A.I
