Messrs. F, Reeder, and Edward
Willis, bailiff of Exeter, were ac
quitted in Stratford police court
Tuesday having been charged with
robbing John M. Litt, of Fullarton
Tp. of a black mare and immediate
ly before such robbery used person
al violence to the said Johp M. Ljtt,
The incident occurred at Litt’s farm
near Fullarton on Tuesday of last
week and the, case came up for trial
on Tuesday of this week. At the
trial both of the defendants denied
that they had used any violence
against the elder farmer in taking
the horse from the farm. In fact
the defense submitted that Litt him
self was the aggressor in any actual
contact that took place between any
of the parties. The mare in ques
tion is a racer and is known as “Sa
die Gratton.” Reeder stated that
the horse belonged to him. For the
past two years the mare had been
trained and raced by Gideon Litt,
a nephew of John M. Litt apd this
spring the horse had been placed on
the latter’s farm. Reeder stated
that- last:-year the mare was raced
on several occasions but that he'had
never received any purses that she
had won. He had valued the mare
around $2,500. Following an in
jury to the mare, for the past five
months- it has been on the John Al,
Litt farm near Fullarton. Mr.
Reeder secured the advice of <a so
licitor at Parkhill who advised him
to go and- reclaim the animal be
cause he thought it was being, abus
ed. Under no circumstances, the
lawyer said, were they to in any
way use force. The two men were
acquitted oh the charge of robbery
with violence but the magistrate
stated their actions however were
unfortunate and high handed. He
said there was a better recourse if
Reeder wanted to get the mare,
