Berry ve, Cooper, In which Thomas J.
Berry, Hernial', sought damages of
$6,000 from A. T. Cooper, Clinton, for
libel. Cooper, who is the Clinton
correspondent of London Free Press,
sent in a news article deecribing a
seizure of liquor at Berry'a driving
shed and office at Hensel!, In this
article published in Free Press of
August 291.11 'net, the expreselons "a
whiskey warehouse being run by
Thomas Berry", and "there were
suspicions that he was running a
blind pig", were need.
Defence ehowed that the seizure
had taken place and that Berry was
eubaequenl,Iy con victed and fined for
having liquor:unlawfully on his prem-
ises, and it was contended that the
report was a fair and reasonable one
and was publiehed withoet malice.
L. E. Daimey was counsel for the
plaintiff and W. Proudfoot, K. C., and
C. Seeger for the defendant.
Jury after being out about 2 130111,8
reported a disagreement, being 8 to 4
for the dismissal of the action, They
were Bent back to their room and
eventually returned with a verdict for
the defendant, and the action was

docket was that of Breckenridge vs.
Breckenridge et al„ which was poet,-
poned to the next Court. This is a
dispute over the will of the late David
Breekeneidge, township of Morris.
A. tree bill on the charge of criminal
neglect was returned by the Grand
Jury in the case of Ferdinand Dee*,
dine, township of litephen, The wife
of the accused died last December
after the birth of her first child, and
the prosecution clahned that, the hus-
band was guilty of negligence in not
having had a doctor. In defence it
was shown that the birth occurred
unexpectedly at the time, and that
afterwards Mrs. Deejardine was ap-
parently getting along well when she
suddenly collapsed and died before a
physician could reach her. There was
a suggestion that the accused belong-
ed to a religious seat called "The
Children of God" who did not believe
in doctors bub Desjardine denied this
and declared that he acted throughout
according to his wife's wishes and that
he would have been willing to have 10
doctors for her it she had wanted
them.
His Lordship's charge was in favor
of the accused and the jury with little
delay brought in a verdict of "not
guilty," H. G. Tucker, Owen Sound,
conducted the prosecution in a very I
fair manner, and the defence was ably
handled by J: G. Stanbury, Exeter,
