A short time ago• Goderich Council convicted the Mac- key Bread ''Co., under the Transient. Traders By -Law for peddling bread in the county town. The Company appealed, and -were successful in hav- ing the conviction quashed. They should have been taken up under the Hawkers' and Peddlers' By -Law, which, however, does not provide for so heavy a penalty as the Transient Tradiers?' By -Law.
