Stanbury, of . Exeter, proceed with it. for Mr. Geiger throughout, . The many friends of Reeve - Owen Geiger, of Hensall, were glad to see by the Toronto papers on Friday, that he had again won a victory, this time en the Court of Appeal at Toronto, in the action of the Ex- celsior Supply Co., of Cleveland against himself: The case was first tried at Exeter by His Honor Judge Lewis, who gave judgment in favor of Mr. Geiger but was appealed by the plaintiffs and was reviewed by the full Court of five Judges early last month, their decision being re- served until now. The action arose over the duty on a carload of flax shipped to Cleveland. Mr. Geiger had contracted to pay the duty and dict so to the C.N.R. at Hexisall. when s 'ipment was made. The rail- way company did not forward the duty promptly however, and the car arrived at Cleveland not cleared. The consignees did not notify Mr. Geiger of this but attempted to get the car cleared themselves. Mean. time, however, the American tariff on flax towe was increased by a large amount and they wet com- pelled to pay upwards of tw hun- dred dollars ($200) more duty to release. the shipment. For this ex- cess they sued'hir, Geiger but he contested his liability?' on the ground that it was the - negligence of the plaintiffs in neither notifying him nor paying the duty promptly 'be- fore the rate went up that was the cause of this loss. Both Courts have. now ..f . gvers Judgment iii favor of the defendant with costs. F. C. Mr. T. - A. Powell, who:recently sold his property in Exeter to Mr. J. Grassick, of Kippen, expects to move to Stratford as soon as the roads are passable. Exeter will regret to lose such worthy citizens.
