Bernice and Charles Beverly Reid, RR 1 Varna, were given suspended sentences by Justice of the Peace Douglas Wedlake, with the probation condition of not committing the same or similar offence for three months. The Reids testified -that they were asked by their son to pick up their gi<anddaughter, Megan Reid, from the home of her mother, Margaret Reid, 88 Nelson St., Hensall, on Oc- tober 28. Margaret Reid had been separated from her husband for approximately 15 months when the incident occur- red. Normally her husband picked up their daughter every Sunday at 7:30 p.m., but on that date he asked his parents to call for Megan instead. Margaret Reid told the court she tried to phone her husband to say she would be late arriving home with Megan that evening. The Reids arriv- ed at Margaret's about 7:30 p.m., and Margaret was not ,home. When they saw Margaret's car pull up, Charles said they went to Margaret's door, and Margaret told him to get his son to pick up Megan. Margaret Heid testified that Charles wouldn't let her shut the door. Charles told the court Margaret tried to slam the door and he put his foot in it. The Reids then both entered Margaret's apartment. They were in- side about 10 minutes, Margaret said. She called the O.P.P. while Charles and Bernice were in the apartment. Bernice testified they left when Margaret told them to get out. Margaret then brought Megan out to the couple, who were standing on the sidewalk, and Bernice said they went directly home. The couple's lawyer told Wedlake the Reids were not in Margaret's home for any unlawful reason or to cause any grief. Wedlake decided the Reid's had not left immediately when asked. He add- ed that Megan should have been available for pick-up at 7:30. Wedlake registered the conviction of the Reids, but suspended their sentence. He warned the couple to stay outside if they ever have to pick up their granddaughter again. Dennis A. Masse , RR 1 Zurich, was convicted of speeding. Masse pleaded guilty to driving 150 kilometres an hour in an 80 kilometre zone. Masse was fined $227.50 and given -15 days to pay.

She told the court that because she was pregnant and busy renovating the house, she put it in a desk drawer and forgot all about it. She doesn't remember giving the let- ter to her husband.

He fined Brown $250 and suspended his licence for an addi- tional six months. Brown was given 30 days to pay. Ross W. Palframan, 72 Grand Oak Dr., Grand Bend, was convicted of speeding.
