S 1 THE HURON EXPOSITOR. 1111111MONIIIMINIMIMIMINEWM11 , liuliett. A keen CASE. -A ease of erne pub- ife wen* was- tried at t e recent listings of the Division Court at Clin- ton before Judge Dpyle. T e parties immediately intere ted we e Wm. lacheeon, Giiber MeMchae, jr., and Wm. Rynn,: all of this townsh p. The following are the leading pa amines : An old drain, whigh started on the town line at lot 1, ana ran through lots land 2, and a portion of lot 3, in the -4thooncession, had no nutlet except at a lor point in Mchlthael's I nd. Mc- Michael desired to , rry thi drain to an outlet, and for that purpos brought °lithe engineer, who Made hi award in" the month of December last In this award the engineer directed t at about two thirds of the work shout be done by Wm. Aicheson, nearly the whole of the balance by. McMiehael and what re- mained by Wm. Rerun. This award wu not satisfactory. to Mr. Aicheion, whebelieved that he had far nore work to do than the benefit he would receive, and also that the ditch was m ch wider and deeper than there was an occasion for. Mr. Aicheson, 'therefore, appeal- ed from the award, and this appeal came up for hearing, 1 as above stated, before His Honor Judge Doyle. It was proved that Critbert McMichael the younger was not the owner of this land, but that it was owned by his lather, the young man simply having a lease for the life of his father and moth- er, It was also objeeted that the en- gineer had tenproperlY directed that a portion of the drain to be opened by MeMioluiel should he maintained by Aichesonand Ryrin, and also that his- -award did not define particularly the -course to be taken by the drain. His Honor held that these objections were fatal to the award, and that the en- _gineer had no pewer te direct that the portion of the ditch opened by Mc- Michael should be rneintained by Ai- eheson and Rynn. On the contrary, that he should have/irected that this portion of the ditch sh uld be maintain- ed by McMichael, 4nlesa, owing to altered circumstances the engineer should afterwards the brought on when the work was complet d and direct that 4, of Ditches & someone, else other tha the person who did the digging should maintisin, as provided for by Sectio Water Courses Act. See Cap. 220. R. 8. th). His Honor also held, under this Section, that. the owner of the land was Gilbert Melliehael, the elder, and that as he did not bring on the en- gineer and was not a !party to the pro- eeedings that his son had no power to take the course that he and that, for this reason, the awari was Also bad. His Honor did not express any opinion on the other objections. There wete .aleo a number of otl* points which would have cropped up in the case had his Honor not arrived at the conclusion that the award was badi on its face, and -also bad because tha ovrner of the. land eves not a party. The sward was, therefore, set aside with all costs to be eetid by Gilbert McMichael, the younger. Gorriei.
