roused -in this.,looality over the legal
action taken b William- Richardson,
of Simcoe, formerly . of Stratford,
against Thomas Yearly, of Stephen
Township, -the wellknown race horse
fancier. The trial took place . at Sim-
coe on Thursday last and was tried
by Judge Poles, of Norfolk County,
without a jury. Richmond is a train-
er and :racer;, who is widely known
in Western Ontario. -In 1919, Yearly
gave him four horses to train: Teddy
Gratton, Lee Gratton, Teddy :gar and
Queenie -Smith,' all good prospects.
,The first two - were sold by Yearly
subsequently for. -$100.0 apiece, al-
though picked up,by'''him for $200
and $150 respectively. Richardson
set-up a -claim for half of the money,
alleging that he vas to have a Iialf
interest in these two horses. At the
trial he had difficulty inexplaining
how it was that he claimed an inter-
