Peter Bartliff's Old Stand enderson MAIL '.CARRIERS HAVE NO EXTRA HIGHWAY:JIIGHTS Are Liable For Negligent Opera- tion of Vehicle On Road. • The question of the privileges and lights of mail carriers on the high- ways in Rural ' district has been much mooted by car owners. The following dommunichtion, !received by Mr. W. 0, Robertson, Secretary of the Ontario Motor League, from their solicitor, Mr. T. le. Phelan, will therefore be of Interest to motorists: At the request of your Board of Directors, you have submitted the following questions for my opinion: dt) Are carriers of his Majesty's fail.subject to the provisions of the Highways Travel Act? (2) Are such carriers liable for negligent operation of a vehicle, which negligence causes damage to other users of the highway. No special right or immunity is conferred by statute on mail carriers on the highway, except in so far as the Postoffice Act declares the obstruction or wilful delay of , the mail to be an indictable offense, • We have therefore to look to the Com- mon Law for a definition of'•the right and liabilities of such mail carriers, In considering . their rights and duties on the highway, the'e'distinc-.. lion between the carrier himself•" and the Crown, whole he represents must are kept clearly in mind The Cros,n Is neither subject fo the Highway , Travel Act nor liable .in damlges., ,for PHONE 1 - -r--fr the negligence of any of its servants. In my opinion, the servant himself Islay be subject to the statutory pro- visions and may be liable for any act of negligence causing damage, through acting in the capaeity of, a servant of the 'Crown. Recently Reviewed This subject was recently consid- ered by the Appellate Division in a case of Bigras vs Tasse. There the defendant was the foreman of a gang of ;workmen engaged in build- ing a road for the Crown. A fire was lighted by one of the gang of men under this foreman, and for whose act the foreman was respon- sible, and, the fire spreading, de- stroyed the property of the plain- tiff. The defendant foreman's con- tention was that the alleged wrcng- ful act or omissions were not his acts but the acts or omissions of the Crown, and therefore, in contempla- tion of law, not wrongful, Mr. Jus- tice • Lennox, who reviewed the authorities and delivered the judg- meat of the court, rejects this con-, tention of the defendant and con- cludes: "1 ata clearly of opinion that the defendant's claim of immunity by reason of being a servant of the Crown falls," 1 think the proper inference to be drawn from this judgment is: -`•(a) That carriers of his' Majesty's tna'fi are subject to the provisions of the Highways Travel Act. (b) That such carriers 'enjoy no Emmunity from consequences of the neglfgeist operation , of a yehicle on the highway when such negligence causes damage to other users of the The Criocon New gra DANDRUFF, 00ES±I HAIR STOPS FAL Me H+MM.*NitH+MH1.a.N.+FHM+tM}H}.MHHHfH Immediatelyq atter 'using "1)anderiue' you can not find any dandruff or fallingg flair, but what plenees you anoat is that your hair seems twice as abundant; so thick, glossy land just radiant with life and beauty.
