Senator Templeman of the Victoria Times Held to Answer.

Victoria, Dec. 21.—The preliminary hearing of the case against Senator Templeman, charged with criminal libel of Premier J. H. Turner and Hon. C. E. Pooley, took place today. Mr. Gregory counsel for the accused, endeavored to show that the publication complained of was justifiable and that the connection of his client with the publication had not been sufficiently established, and therefore that no case had been. made out. The magistrate, however, com- mitted Mr. Templeman for trial at the firat court of competent jurisdiction, ad- mitting him to bail in the sum of $1,000. The case against Ian Coltart of the Province was next taken up, and coun- sel was engaged with the proof of his connection with the publicstion when at 6 o’clock the court adjoined until tomor- row.

The information againt W. C. Nicol, editor of the Province, has been with drawn for the-present to permit of his making an intended trip to the east, and Mr. Bostock, M. P., has not yet been served,

The bells will give warning to the unsuspecting and per- haps nonobservant or abeent minded pedestrian.

Chief Ingram was about notifying ex- pressmen and others who drive sleighs today of the law regulating such vehi- cles. He says he will make arrests whenever he finds the law is violated.
