Convicted of trespasSillg
A couple who picked up their grand-
daughter from their estranged
daughter-in-law's home ended up be-
ing convicted of trespassing when
they appeared in Exeter Court,
Tuesday.
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. Wedlake did not
suspend Masse's licence, although he
could have for the offence, but Masse

conviction.
David Clifton Brown, Oakville, was
convicted of driving while under
licence suspension. Brown was stop-
ped by Constable Leo Weverlink

was in his motel room. Weverlink
found the licence was suspended and
issued a summons.
Brown had received a registered
letter April 25 informing him of the
licence suspension because of an un-
paid ticket. However his wife signed
for the letter, and she testified that
she didn't open the letter or give to to
her husband. 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.
Brown said he was completely
unaware he was under suspension.
Wedlake said the Ministry had done
their part by sending a registered
letter. He fined Brown $250 and
suspended his licence for an addi-
tional six months. Brown was given
30 days to pay.
