Revington, Lucan cattle dealer, against Claude Blowes, Hen- sall. The suit was over an accident that occurred on No, 4 highway near Lucan on December 7th, Revington was leading a 'horse when he was struck by a car driven by Blowes. The defence claimed that Revin gton’s horse became ex­ cited and pulled him out to the cen­ tre of the road into the path of the car. Judge Wearing ruled that Reving- ton’s injuries resulted from “a pure accident and dismissed the case. However in the event of a reversal of his judgment on appeal his honor fixed the amount of damages suffer* ed by the plaintiff at $2,135. C. C. Savage represented Mr Revington while J. W. Morley was lawyer for ’Blowes. ENLARGING I.O.O.F. BLOCK Th© Exeter I. O. 0. F are mak­ ing extensive improvements to the lodgeroom and the store beneath.
