SUPREME COURT & i'TINms
Held. At Goderich Lot Week Before
Justice Lennox
The final stage in the proceedings
against Mr E. Cross, as an outcome of.
the fatal accident on the night of Decem-
ber 23rd last, when Mr. J. II. Colborne
was fatally injured by being struck by
Cross' automobile while he was crossing
the roadway of the Square, was reached
on Tuesday, Feb. 18th at Goderich, when
the indictment for manslaughter preferred
against Mr. Cross was thrown out by the
grand jury.
The sitting of the Supreme Court of
Ontario opened on Tuesday afternoon,
Mr. Justice Lennox presiding, Mr, Dud-
ley Holmes K. C. Of 'Wingham was prress
ent as Crown prosecutor and was assisted
by County Crown Attorney Seager. Af-
ter being addressed by His Lordship the
grand jury retired about three o'clock to
consider the evidenee presented by the
Crown officers At ten- o'clock in the
evening the jury came in with the return
of 'no bill" and Mr. Cross was thereupon
discharged.
Judge Lennox in dismissing the grand
ury made some remarks upon the great
eel of care in the driving of motor
ehides. It was not to be concluded from
he dismissing of this case. lie said, that
t was any slight thing that a citizen
hould lose his life, even by accident. His
ordship also addressed some remarks to
Mr. Cross of somtvhat the same tenor. It
s hould be the general—as far as possible
he universal rule for motorists to be al-
ass on the alert to ensure the safety of
1 who may be on the strept.
The grand jurors were: William Mc-
uiilin, West Wawanosh (forman) ; Wit.
ant Berry, Tuckersmith ; William Craig,

The.presentment of the grand jury was
as follows :
To His Honor Judge Lennox,
The grand jury respectfully present as
follows :
We desire to thank Your Honor' for
your practical and valuable instructions
in regard to bur duties as grand jurors.
Your remarks regarding the danger in
our cities; town and public roads, from
the growing use of the automobile, were
very opportune, and we feel that your ad-
vice and direction cannot help but do a
great deal to lessen the danger in this
community.
We have visited and inspected the
county jail and found it clean and well
kept in all departments, warm and com-
fortable We found incarcerated eight
prisoners, seven males and one female,
practically all charged and serving terms
as vagrants. They were interviewed and
had no complaints to make.

The only civil action that 'came into
court was that of Merner vs. McKillop
Mutual Fire Insurance Co. The plain-
tiff was Mr. J. J. Merner of Seaforth, M.
P. for South Huron, who held a policy
with the defendant company for $11,450
on his house and contents of alt outbuild-
ings, all of which property was stated in
the application for insurance to be upon
lots 9 and 10 in the 3rd concession of the
township of Tuckersmith.
The plaintiff also held under lease lot
41, across the ,sideroad from lots 9 and
10 and the barn on lot 11 swas filled
with grain owned,. by the plaintiff, A
fire on August 20 last destroyed this barn
on lot 11 with its contents of grain and
some implements belonging to the plain-
tiff. The insurance company paid the
loss upon the implements, recognizing the
claim that the latter were ordinarily con-
tained in the buildings on lot 10 and
were only temporarily in use by the
plaintiff on lot 11, but the claim for pay-
ment of the grain was refused. The
plaintig claimed a loss of $1,820 on the
grain and sued for this amount with in-
terest.
The plaintiff relied upon a clause in the
company's bylaws which stated :
"Where any person holds a policy in
this company covering loss upon farm
produce, such policyholder shall be entitl-
ed to receivefrom the company the am
ount of loss by fire in respect of any farm
produce owned by the insured, even
though the said produce be on other
premises than the premises of the ensured
in respect of which the policy has been
issued.”
The company claimed that this had no
application in this case, as the produce
destroyed had do connection with the
property actually covered by the insur.
ance policy, The judge upheld the Com-
pany'I contention and dismissed the ac
tion without costs, provided no further
proceedings are taken, but with costs
against the plaintiff' if an appeal be enter-

with 41 victories to his credit during the
war, is now awaiting a favorable streak of
weather to attempt a flight to Scotland
