KNEE ACTION, PLEASE
The other day a bunch of toughs
held up a bank in Beamsville. Im
mediately a .hue and cry was‘raised,
for the Capture of the miscreants.
Days past and the light fingered and
nimblei’ooted thieves were*-still at
Large. Telephone receivers clicked,
telegraph .wires buzzed, cars were re
quisitioned, fand that was all there
was to it. The thieves snapped
their fingers at- the government of
this province and of this dominion.
Meanwhile business men carried on
in the consciousness that at -any
hpur qf the day the low-browed and
the murderous might invade their
premises, rob the. till, shoot up em
ployees and escape scott free,, "The
pity of it all is that nobody seems to
Care. If -officers’ sends a piece of

Weak-kldneycd. editors are the -first
to take up the cause of the thief who
has been ordered to halt, till he has
given an account of hiinself to reg

judges only recently have taken sides
against the law-officers and in favor
of the fleet footed and' suspected
wrong-doer, When guilt has been
proven up to the hilt, grave faced
authority mumbles something about
“Taking the youth of the prisoner in
to consideration and giving you' time
to do better in the future.” Surely:

< The following ease, which has

community came before the court at
’Exeter on March 22nd, and the fol
lowing “judgement has been handed
down by His Honor Judge Lewis in
favor of the Plaintiff, Mr, E. H-
' Close, of Seaforth, for the amount
of his claim and costs. It is the first
time a decision on this particular
matter has been given by the courts.
In the Fifth Division Court of the
County of Huron.
. Between Elgin H. Close, Plaintiff,
and the Corporation of the Township
of Usborne, Defendants. R. S, Hays,
■ Esq,., Counsel for Plaintiff; Messrs.
Glad man & Stanbury, Counsel for
Defendants.
Judgment—The evidence adduced
before me established the following
facts:
On
p.m.,
own
weight 2 J. tons, on the
cession of Usborne, on
London. His wife
front seat with him.
along the said second concession of
Usborne, they encountered a drove
of twelve cattle, one of. which was
on the left side of the road, grazing,
the others being on the right side of
the road. There was no one in
charge of same. The Plaintiff pro
ceeded, slowly, at the rate of 8 or
10 miles an hour, devoting the great
er part of his attention to the cow on
the left, thinking she would, if start
led, try to join the others; Just as
he came abreast of the cow on the
left his wife called to him, and he
saw a cow from the herd at the right
Start out in front of his car. He
jammed on the brakes and emerg
ency and the car stopped as it touch
ed the legs of the cow. • The cow
fell on his car and caused the da
mages sued for. The animal was
not hurt and went on grazing,” The
Plaintiff asked the Defendant Cor
poration to pay for damages,
refused, citing’ By-law, No. 4,
Of the Township ,o£ Usborne.
Then' contention is that this By
law is under Si. S. 49 of -Section 397,
Chap. 2'33, R.’S.O., 19 27 “for prohib
iting or REGULATING the running
at large or trepassing of animals
Other than .dogs, etc." and that un
der this section they may pass a by
law allowing cattle to pasture on the
‘•Highway without anyone in charge,
provided the conditions- of their by
law are observed as they were in this
^ase. • - ‘ ■
In interpreting the Statute, t
which the Defendant Corporation r
lies iri this case, this Court must take
into consideration all the> circum
stances, customs and practices, af
fecting the occurrence in question.
The very language of the Section
“REGULATING the running at large
or trepassing animals” implies a
rule or control of such animals,
which was notoriously absent in this
case. It is inconceivable that the
Legislature would empower any
Municipality to pass a by-law giving
the right to anyone to place or al
low a menace to ‘thp lives of the citi
zens to wander unrestrained day or
night on the King's Highway. I
■find that on a much travelled high
way such as this was, the habit of
pasturing cattle, on the highway is
a direct and actual menace to the
lives of people travelling ou such
highways, and “The right of
public to free passage along
King’s Highway -is paramount.”
is true that the legal estate in
highway is vested in municipal
(hority but only as a trustee for
public, and the persons interested
are all his Majesty’s subjects, whose
right of free passage is by this means
interferred with.” Code vs, Jones
and Town of Perth, 5 4 O.L.R., 425
and Hydro Elec. Com. of Ontario vs.
County of Grey 5 5 O.L.R., 344-5.
Taking into consideration all the
facts in connection with the case*
and the above montoned authorities,
I give judgment l’or the Plaintiff for
the amount of his claim, with costs.
Given at Goderich, this 22nd day
of April A.D., 1929.
