Providing a motorist is driving within the law he is not liable should he run into and do .damage to a herd of cattle on a 1public..road, His 1-11enor Judge T. M. Cestelld hes so ruled in an interesting and im- portant judgment handed down in county. court, Goderich, on Monday. The motorist, Walter Thomipson, is awarded $95 damages to' his car, with count costs, etile the counter claim of thela'rmer, Glen Cornish; for $115 for cattle ::-..jurred and destroyed in the crash, is dismissed. The accident happened on the Clin- ton -Auburn county road on July 9th last while a herd of twenty-seven cows were being taken to pasture from one farm to another, a short distance alpng the road by a fourteen year old girl. "It would have been much better had the girl assumed the practice of leaping ahead of the cattle so that she in:light be able to warn approach- ing traffic," commented the judge. "I cannot find otherwise than negligence on the farmer's part in not taking proper precautions to at least guide the animals as quickly as 'possible through what must be looked on as a dangerous zone. There surely cannot be any duty raft on motorists to do anything else than keep to their own side of the road in coming to the crest...of the hill providing they are not exceeding the speed limit." The evi- dence was that the motorist was travelling between thirty and forty miles an hour. Christmas entertainments are now the order of the night.
