The followingcase, which has caus- ed considerable interest, came before the court last September and the fol- lowing judgment has been handed clown by His Honor Judge Lewis, in favor of the Plaintiff, Mr, E. H, Close of Seaforth, .for the amount al his claim with costs, It is the first time a decision on this particular matter has been given by the Courts. In the Fifth Division Court of the County of Huron. Between Elgin H, Close, Plaintiff and the Corp'orati'on of the Township of Usborne. De'fendan'ts. R, S, Hays, Esq„ Counsel for Plaintiff; Messrs. Gl'adlnan & Stan'bury, Counselfor Defendant, Judgment: -'The evidence adduced before me established the following facts: .. On July 29th, 1928, about 2.20 p.m., the Plaintiffvig as driving his own car, w a Hudson Brougham, weight 2r/ tons. on the seabed concession of Usborne, on his way to London. His wife oc- cupied the front seat with him, While driving along the said second conces- sion of Usborne, they encountered a drove of twelve cattle, one of which was on the left side of the road, graz- ing, the others being on the right side of the road. There was no one in charge of same.The Plaintiff ff pro ceeded Bowl r1 a• thi. rate, of 8 or. 10 mikes an hour, devoteng.the greater part of his attention to, the cow on the left thinking she would, if "MIAMI - ed, try to join the others„ ,lust as he came, gbreaslt 2,f pie .663v on the left, his Wife called to h'irn, and he saw a cow from the herd at the right start otit in front of his car. He jammed on the four wheel brakes and: emer- gency and the car stopped as it touch- ed the legs of the cow, The cow feli on his car and caused the damages sued for. The animal was not injured and continued grazing, The. Plaintiff asked the Defendant: Corporation to play •for damage,.. They refused,; citing Bylaw” No, 4, 1920, of the_Township of Usborne. Their contention is that thts;Bylaw is under S. S. 49 of ,Section 397i' Chap. 233, R.S.O. 1927 "for pr'ohtbjting or REGULATING the runnin$'••at' large or trespassing of animals., other than dogs,- &c," and that under tors sec- tion they may pass a Bylaw •allowing cattle to pasture of the highway- with- out anyone in charge, 'provided the conditions of their Bylaw are observ- ed, as they were in this case. 119 itlterpreting, the .Statute, on which the Defendant Corporation re- lies in this case, this Count must take into consideration all 'the circum- stances, customs and practices, affect- ing the occurrence in question: The very language of the Section • "RE- GULATING the running at large or trespassing of animals" implies a rule or control of such animals, which was notoriously absent in this case. ' It is inconceivable that the Legisla- ture egislature would empower any -Municipality to pass, a Bylaw giving the right to anyone to place or allow•a menace to the lives of the citizens to wander un- restrained dray or night on the King's Highway, I find that on a much travelled highway such as this was, the habit of pasturing cattle on the highway is a direct and actual menace to the lives of people travelling eln such highways, and "The right of ,the public to free passage along the King's Highway is paramount," "It is true that the legal estate. in the highway is vested in municipal au- thority but only as a trustee for the. public. and the persons interested are ail his Majesty's subjects, whose right of free ,passage is by this means in- terfered with." Code vs. Jones and Town of Perth, 514 OJL.R. 425 and Hydro Elec. Com, df Ontario vs. County.of Grey 55 O.d R. 344-5. Taking into consideration all the facts in connection with the case, and the above mentioned authorities, I give Judgment for the. Plaintiff for the amount of his claim,. cawith Costs.
