INTERESTn\'G CASE.—Among the cases in Division Court here on Satur- day, was one in which there was a great deal of interest taken by the farmers. Mr. Sid Smith, drover, bought a bunch of cattle from a farm- er in Hullett for a certain figure per pound and paid a deposit of $5 to bind the bargain. All went well for a short time, and then Mr. Smith was much surprised to get his deposit back, the. farmer stating that he had made a bet- ter deal and sold oat to another drover. Could the farmer legally sucha thing,quite naturally flashed across Mr. Smith's mind. If so, he felt that the depositing of a sum of money to bind a bargain was of no use, and the drover would be at the inercy, of the unscrupulous farmer. As it wa;•s the first time Mr. Smith had been caught in such a manner. he deviled to test the legality of the transaction, and en- tered an action for $00 damages. Mr. W. Proudfoot, of Goderich, presented Mr. Smith's claims and Mr. Scott ap- peared for defendant. The verdict was that plaintiff gets $20 damages, de- fendent to pay all costs.—Stratford Herald.
