"TOTAL SENTENCES FIFTY-THREE YEARS," Montreal Gazette. March 24, 1913. Page 12. --- Thirty Years Longest Individual Term Imposed in King's- Bench Court. ---- TWO CASES HELD OVER. ---- Youths Who Beat and Robbed Old Woman in Griffintown House Sent to Penitentiary. --- Fifty-three years and nine months was the total of the sentences imposed by Mr. Justice Lavergne in the Court of King's Bench on Saturday, the largest individual sentence being that of thirty years in the penitentiary. Alexandre Desgrossiliers, for a revolting outrage on his little niece, received this sentence. In answer to the question if he had anything to say before sentence was passed, the prisoner asked the court to take into consideration that he had been in jail for four months. The judge, characterizing him as a dangerous man who had already been sentenced to the penitentiary for seven years for an offence of much the same nature and had been released on ticket-of- leave, said that he should be removed from society. "You ask the court to consider your four months in jail, but that will make little difference to the sentence I impose you will go to the penitentiary for thirty years," said Mr. Justice Lavergne. The hush that had settled on the crowded court- room was broken by a concerted gasp, followed by whispered comment.

In the main the sentences imposed were reasonable and in nice proрогtion to the circumstances surrounding the committal of the offences, and Mr. Justice Lavergne sketched the cases before passing sentence.

A considerable portion of the session was occupied by points raised by Mr. Gonzalve Desaulniers, K.C., who made motion for a new trial for Hector Mercier, found guilty of an assault on a little girl, on the broad ground that the verdict was against the weight of evidence. Mr. Justice Lavergne refused to grant the application, but suspended sentence on the prisoner until Wednesday, which day was set for the sentencing of the three Chinamen found guilty of attempting to murder Moon On as a result of breaking into and shooting in gambling house on West Legauchetiere street. Mr. James Crankshaw, Jr., had asked delay as he was considering the matter of taking the case to appeal, and since Crown Prosecutor Walsh made no objection, the delay was granted.

In the case of John Dacter and John Finn, found guilty of wounding with intent an old woman in Griffintown, into whose house they broke, and boat her, Dacter asked the leniency of the court, promising that he would pot use liquor in future, but Finn said that he had no statement to make. Mr. Justice Lavergne remarked that he could see little in the record of either of the prisoners to warrant the court showing undue mercy. The records showed that between them there were convictions with six months for wounding, six months for theft, four months for theft and two years for the same offence. He said that they had pleaded guilty, but he had read the depositions in the case and sent them to the penitentiary for five years each.

In passing sentence on Nick Houchulck, Gregory Casuil and Todor Narhirniak, found guilty of manslaughter by causing the death of Konrad Kroszka, the judge said that it was a case of a row at a Polish wedding, where the guests had been drinking, but there was nothing in the evidence to show that there had been provocation for the act. The three men certainly had set on the man and beaten him, but the evidence showed that it was Todor Narhirniak that had drawn the knife and stabbed the victim in the head with it. In returning their verdict the jury at the time asked that leniency be shown Bouchulck, and he was sentenced to three months in jail, Casuil got six months and Narharnaik was sent to the penitentiary for five years.

Sylvestre Smith, the negro who shot at Lieut. Menard and was found guilty of shooting with intent to commit murder, was sent to the penitentiary for three years, and George Charbonneau, found guilty of manslaughter, was sent to jail for ten months. Judge Lavergne said that his victim was an old man and it was a cowardly act to strike him twice. Charbonneau, who is suffering from a weak heart and was in a highly nervous state, presented a ghastly appearance in the dock while the judge was commenting on the case. It was evident that he was on the verge of collapse and he gripped the front of the desk and stared ahead, his tongue pressed between his teeth. In view of the circumstances attendant upon the case, the prisoner's health and the fact that he had already been in jail for two months, Charbonneau was sent to jail for only ten months more.

Pierre Horpoel, found guilty of breaking into two convents and stealing religious pictures, asked for leniency, but the judge said that his record was none too good and sent him to the penitentiary for three years. In sentencing Charles Taffler, who pleaded guilty to two charges of stealing horses, harness and buggies, Mr. Justice Lavergne said that he could send him to the penitentiary for fourteen years, but he was disposed to regard his youth and the fact that he committed the thefts without thought of the consequences. To send him to the penitentiary would mean the ruining of his life and he would have to go to jail for one year. Moise Malette, for stealing five bottle of whisky, was sent to jail for one month. Edmond Maisonneuve, found guilty of robbery with violence, asked that sentence be suspended, as he had been in jail for two months, and a sentence of one month was passed. Henri Bernier and Alphonse Paquette, the conductor and motorman found guilty of assault, were sentenced to fines Bernier $100 or three weeks, Paquette $50 or ten days.

Language of the Street Poster

At first glance, the emphasized graffiti catches the eye of the viewer due to its size and high contrast with the background and other elements. The graffiti is meant to display the reality of the area that is often overlooked by visitors. When walking further into the neighbourhood, one can observe graffiti-filled walls, and barbed-wired fences found alongside the numerous modern buildings. The repeated concrete block texture emphasizes the industrial aesthetic that is very valued in the area.

The familiar horizon that can be viewed from Griffintown lurks in the poster's background in a symmetrical manner, placing the Atrium Le 1000 building in the centre. The infamous “Bonaventure” metro station’s name is repeated three times in various manners, showing its significance as a part of the neighbourhood's experience. The metro door arrows are also placed to help guide the viewer's attention through the different elements. Textured window patterns are meticulously scattered, emphasizing the multitude of building facades that overwhelm the people of downtown.

Additionally, the hierarchy between the elements, like the mirrored “H3C”, which is the beginning of Griffintown postal codes, and numerous textures guides the audience's attention when analyzing the poster. The phrase “heel, feel, be real” is placed throughout the flow of elements, with a dark and flat colour to distinguish itself from the rest of the textured and layered components in the upper area.

Certain colours like red were used to highlight components, for example, the main focus of the poster (graffiti). The red outline of the window texture is also used to differentiate it from the other elements. Faint turquoise blue also accompanies the window texture to add some more appeal. The same turquoise colour is used on the word “Bonaventure” placed to the right of the canvas to balance the whole.

Ultimately, the poster was made to illustrate the chaotic feel of the neighbourhood that is typically felt through the sound of multiple cars driving by and honking, people rushing through to get to work, school, or home, etc. The poster was also created in a way to display the contrast between commercial, industrial and modern buildings and details that reflect a more local and down to earth feeling. Simultaneously, I made sure that the use of white space was respected between the most emphasized details to maintain a harmonized feel.

The British, under General Jeffery Amherst, marched from Lachine through Nazareth Fief (the name used for Griffintown at this time), through the Recollet Gate and into the walled city of Montreal. The Articles of Capitulation of Montreal were signed on September 8 1760, in the British camp before the city of Montréal. Most of the North American fighting ended with the surrender of Montréal.
