TIONS.
Decisions Lave been given by B.
M. Britton, Q. C., the Outaric
DViinsgo Referee, in the actions
tried by hien in Stratford last winter
which were noted in these columna
at the time, and on which he reserv-
edjudgmont, As the pointe are of'
much iinpertance to all iuterested
in our drainage laws, tvhiohare now
being much diecuesed, we give a
somewhat extended note of the de-
CieiOns.
Louis SEER.lo1C VS.. THE CORPORA-
TION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF FULLAR-
• TON —The plaintiff, es the owner of
lot 11, con 5, in defendant township,
claimed an injunction agaiuet them
preventing the township from tak-
ing the water down the side road,
,' between lots I0 and 11, and de
positing the same upou the plain-
tiffs land ;and damages for injury
sustained therefrom. There had
previously been constructed certain
drains under,the Ditches and
Watercourses Act, running westerly
from the intersection of this sid
road and con. 5, the maintenance of
which bad been put upon the town-
ship whose intention it was that the
water coming down the side road
should be carried away by the con -
coss �oe drains, but. the township
l:ad`Tflowed -these latter to fall into
disrepair and refused to clean hem
out. The township set up thatt be.
cause the plaintiff had been a party
to the construction of the side road
ditch and had assisted in digging it
he could not now complain, ' But
the referee fiudta that the township
is bringing water out of its natural
course upou the plaintiff's land to
his damage and orders them to dis-
continue Po doing and gives judg-
ment in the plaintiffs favor. grant•
ing him the injunction with $50
damages, and orders the townshipto
pay the costs.
HILES VS. THE CORPORATION OF
THE TOWNSHIP OF ELLIS.—The
plaintiff at the o tuner of lot 21 in the
14 con. of Elma, brought hie action
to recover damages t'rotn the defend•
ant for flooding his lands and in-
juring his crops by reason of the
construction by the defendant of
theMlaitland drain under by•iaw 198
of defendant toivuship, also for corn
pensatiou for land taken by thein
in building an outlet antler el` few
gir2frAseseThetoedni•p , efeje ses
they had p'roceedat legiily and had
built the drain without uegligeuee
and according to law, that they had
not taken any water out of its
natural flow and had been guided
entirely' by their engineer. The
Referee finds all these contentions
against the township. Ile finds
they acted illegally in originally
constructiug the drain, that there
never was any proper petition to
give them power to start the con-
etruction and that by-law 198 re
illegal and invalid, Ile• further
finds that the township was guilty
of negligence in tbo construction of
the drain, that it should not have
been built at or near the_ plaintiffs
land at all, that it wee not carried
to a proper outlet, and that •Large
quantities of water are ,taken out of
their natural run and turned loose
over lands in Elma and among
other's the plaintiff's. He asses+es
damages to the plaintiff at $270 and
orders the township to pay all costa.
The trial of this action took six
days and the costs will be heavy.
CROONS VS. TOWNSHIP oe ELLICE
.—The plaintiff is a tenant farmer
on lot 20, cote. 14, Elate, and sets
up the same cause of action as in
the Hiles case, except that not
owning the land he does not claire
for land taken up by the drain.
The Referee finds the same asi 1 t
ie the
Hiles case and gives the plaintiff
$170 damages, and the costs to be
paid by the township
MCLELLAN vs. TOWNSHIP OFELMA.
—The plaintiff, beitig the owner of
land in con. 3, Mornington, alleged
that the defendants illegallo and
without a proper bylaw carried a
drain along the bounctary between
theta and Mornington Etnd depostted
water upon his land to his damage.
The Referee finds that the drain
did not take any more water upon
the plaintiff's land than would have
found its way there without it, and
says that this being so, he need not
find whether the defendants eon-
etruced it illegally or not,as theplain-
tiff not been injured. Action dismiss-
ed with costa.
—While Mrs. Ensenberger and a
lend, the wife of a wealthy wool
ower. of Salt Late City, were site
g in their room after returning
out a dance, three masked men
itet'ed the apartment and, with reft
leers in hand, demandett their
aluablea. Mrs. Ensenberger had
an atones and her friend five, all
pith $6,000. Mrs. Ehsenberger
teed a valuable brooch by dropping
oe the fluor. Two purses contain -
g $174, were also taken. There ie

'Vtraahiugton. to tha.efoot that tho trete
ty.of 1ciT1 as•interpret.ed by the. DO'
tntn on. Government and by the Cau
adieu people generally has not been
violated by the tolls: which have
been imposed upon, tte Arnerican
vessels passing through the Welland
Canal. The arrgument is that the
treaty of 1871 provided that the
vessels of the two nations shouid be
treated on an equality.
It is nlaintoined that they 'are
treated on an equality, although
American vessels are taxed 18 cents
and Canadian vessels only 2 cents to
•go to certain -points. Tho some.
tion is that the object which the
Dominion officials have is to pro-
tect the trade of Montreal, just se
they say the object of the State of
New York, is to protect the Cotp-
merce•of the port of New York by
tueane of the Erie Canal. As to the
point of Watertown and Oswego, it
is claimed that Canadian vessels
.would be treated on an• equality if
they chooeo to go there, but they do
not choose to go there, as under the
coasting laws of the United Staten
they are not permitted to du so ;
and that the Arnerican vessels are
not discrirnated agaiust by being
charged nine times as much for
their vessels through the Welland
Canal.
The representatives of the Dotnin•
ion Government have hinted that. if
extreme measures are resorted to by
the United States and a Lx impos-
ed upon Canadian vessels coming
from the great lakes through the
Welland Canal, much tnore serious
trouble may result for the United
States than has boon anticipated.
They 'Deist that,accord•ing to surveys
the accuracy of which can not be de-
nied, the United States vessels have
no means of tranait from the upper
lakes to Lake Erie except through
Canadian waters ; that it is impossi •
ble that the United States can obtain
transit over its own waters except
at large expense.
It is insisted that the channel on
the east side of the island known as
the Bois Bland is wholly in Cana-
dian waters ; that the channel to
the west of that island, which is on
United States territory, is full of
rocks, not navigable, andcannot be
made be navigable, except by blast-
ing out a new channel through solid
rock at very great expense ; that if
the United States shall insist upon
a policy of retaliation with regard
to the Sault Ste. Marie Canal on
the Michigan side, it will be quite
in order for the Dominion govern•
ment to insist that the United
States vessels shall not passthrough
-ter; .Ceenedian waters without being
discriminated against. F. R. W.
NEWS NOTES.
--Good news to live stock raisers
throughout the country came over
the cable last week. It is that all the
restrictions have been removed in
England and Scotland, and Cana-
dian cattle can now move freely
through those countries. Thin give
Canadian exporters a much greater
chance of making money. Some
2,500 head of Canadian cattle are
now on their way to the English
markets •
—Whatever may be thecondi-
tion of trade in some branches, it ie
satisfactory to know that all the
Galtmachine shops ere fairly busy,
with more trade doing than at this
time last diear. In addition' -to the
arge contracts noted a few weeks
ago. covering considerably over
$60,000, the Goldie 1St McCulloch
Co. has contracted with the Canada
Screw Company, Hamilton, to sup-
ply that Co. With fourteen machines
designed for the manufacture of dif-
ferent varieties of screws, at a cost
of nearly $15,000.
—Vancouver Island has just cone-
pleted its hundredth year asapart of
he Britiah Empire. On the 30th
of April 1792, Commander Van-
ouver, of the British line of battle-
ship Discovery, planted the Union
Jack on the beautiful island. Seven
housand Indians, men, women, and
hildren assembled on the coast to
watch the proceedings. All the rights
nd privileges acquired by -Spain were
ormerly assigned to Great Britain,
nd the new possession, which Was
ormally known as Quadra, took the
ame of Vancouver.
—There was an exciting scene at
he Halifax court house, Judge
Bendier' had just pronounced three
ears' sentence in the penitentiary
n Morton Ricker for uttering a
orged note when Ricker cried out
bat he was innocent and had been
onvicted on false evidence, and
rawing a razor slashed it across his
broat. He was at once disarmed
nd conducted, bleeding, hack to
ail, where be swallowed the con-.
ents of a bottle of ammonia given
him by his wife. Doctors used
metica and soon brought him
round, and sewed up his throat.
He will recover.
—A, man named Donald Nichol -
on of the 3rd con of Kinloss, a few
miles north of Lucknow, was taken
rom his bed on Monday night last
by five or six men with blacked
aces. Placing a rope around his
neck they dragged him out of the

James Mlcllrey is a young man with
a handsome young wife, residing at
the home of the wife's father, Mr.
Theophile Ouellette. James works
atIliwood,e small station -on the M.C.
R., and is away from home the moat
ofthe time. James has a brother
named Felix, who also hangs around
the Ouellette's homes",ead,but no one
ever suspected that he was -trying to
win his brother's wife's affection,
However the other night Felix and
his brother's wife q:ietly left the
place, and where they have gone no
one can tell, Telegrams have been
sent to different parts, betas yet the
erring couple have not been located.
—Two years ago a young man
named James Medlin, son of John
Modlin, of Hamilton, Ont, Accident-
ly swallowed a hrassehearled tack.
Before the accident he had been
quite robust, but soon afterwards
he grew sick, being seized at inter.
vain with violent fits of vomiting,.
Several city doctors were consulted.
So.ne of them said the tack would
soon be dissolved 11 the acids of the
stomach. One attempted to extract
the tack by chemical appliance, and
all of them gave hien medicire to
bring on retching with the hope that
the tack would be ejected. The
young man grew worse and worse
and wasted away into a Inei'e shadow
of his former self. Recently the
doctors have pronounced him to be
in consumption and have held out
hut slender hopes of his recovery.
Not many days ago the young
man was induced to try anew medi•
cine—a quack remedy in local vo
gue. It induced violent retching,
and one day last week, in one of the
retching fits, the long -lost tack was
ejected. The head was perfectly
black and the iron point was so
soft that it yielded to pressure from
the fingers. Since lie got rid of the
tack young Modlin has felt much
better, aril it is likely that his tom•
plete recovery will be rapid.
