MR. JOHN CooK, of Manitoulin
Island, is visiting relatives in town.
In January he went to the hospital
in Torouto to have a cancer relnov•
ed from his lower lip. The ailment
was produced by smoking and was
a five mouths' growth. The opera-
tion was a very successful one, the
entire Hp across and an inch or
more deep being opened and all 1
flesh removed between the outer
and inner skin. Mr. Cook was
just two weeks in the hospital and
speaks iu very high terms of sur
geon Dr. McFarlane and the
nurses. He says he could not have
beeu used better in his own home.
The lip is filling in nicely and in a
very short time one would not
know that it had been so severely
cut up. Mr. Cook took up land in
Manitoulin about 20 years ago,
when there was only nine white
men there, and the neareet 36 miles
from him. To -day he and his
family have comfortable homes and
1,400 acres of land, with valuable
timber, and capital water front,
flouring and saw mill sites. There
is plenty of good land there yet.
He is confident that there is a bright
future in store for the Algoma dis-
trict, particularly that portion com-
prising the Manitoulin Island. Ile
leaves for homo this week.
ltuportant Legal Decision.
Some time ago we referred to the -
justness of the verdict at the last
assiz.) court hold at Goderich where
in
Capt• Dancey obtained a verdict
for $1000 against the Grand Trunk
for non-fulfllmout of contract and
personal violence used by employees
of the Company. \Ve said then,
and have but to repent now, ,that
Capt. Dancey deserves well of tha
travelling public for the courageous
fight he made for their rights.
And we are pleased to note, as will
be seen by the following report,that
in the Queen's Bench Division,
Toronto, last week, before Chief
Justice Armour and Mr. Justice
Street, the finding of the Assize
Court jury at Goderich has beeu
confirmed.
DANCEY v. G. T. R. Co.—Judgment
on motion by defendants tc sot aside the
verdict and judgment tor the plaintiff
for $1,000 damages in an action tried he -
fore Machanon, J„ and a jury at the last
G .derioh aeeiz,,e, and to nismis3 the an.
tion or fir a new trial. The plaintiff
was traseliir,g Ly the (Itfeudants rai'-
way upon a retu n ticket from Strni t to
Goderich, which ticket had ',rioted
theron, "via direct route," and he was
ejected from a train because he wished
to g ) round by Stratford 'instead of
changing care at Lunen and going to
Goderich hy way i f Clinton, and refused
to leevo the Iran, at Clinton or to pay
extra fare for going round hy Stratford.
The jury found that the shortest way
from S.u•uia to Goderich was by way of
Lucas and Clinton, hut, in answer to
another question, they found that the
most direct route was tate route that
made the beat connection. They also
found that unnecessary violence was
used in i jecting tho plaintiff from the
train. The defendant.; contended that
"direct route" Ineans '•stntigltt route"
or "shortest route," and therefore that
the plaintiff had no right ou the train
from which he was sleeted, and also
that the finding of unnecessary violence
was against all the evidence, and that
the damages were exceseive. The court
held that r he words "via direct line"
did not . ;.,,'v to Any line from Goderich
to Sarn ., •u,t that the words must be
read out ui the contract, and apsrt from
the words themselves that it was never
the intention of the deendants to make
the way by Liman the direct line, and
therefore that the plaintiff was illegally
turned off the train, for which the
defendants are reepnneibte. They also
held that the damrgee could not be in-
terfered with Motion dismissed with
costs. Ayleeworth, Q. C., for the defen-
dants. Lount, Q. C., and M. G. Cam-
eron for the plaintiff.
