Acknowledgements

F,   thank Ashley Newell, a talented musician who

had raced at the RCYC and who happened to grow up in

Aurora near the farmhouse to which Jarvis retired. Ashley

has developed a fascination with Aemilius Jarvis and maintains a

blog and a Twitter feed about Jarvis and the many facets of his life.

After Mary Stokes brought Ashley to my attention, he and I met and

regularly exchanged emails. He became a volunteer researcher for the

book. His research in the Library and Archives Canada and elsewhere

has been of immense value.

I must also thank the Pepall family, especially John T. Pepall and

Laura Thomae, who provided much useful information about A.H.

and Harry Pepall, as well as copies of family photos and letters that

Andrew Pepall wrote to his wife during his London trip with Jarvis

and later during his various incarcerations.

I was fortunate to be able to present a paper about the Ontario

Bond Scandal to a session of the Osgoode Society Legal History Work-

shop, a regular gathering of those working in the area of legal history.

The suggestions and comments of the attendees, especially those of

Mary Stokes and professors Jim Phillips, Philip Girard, and Arnold

Weinrib, were most helpful.
