LEGAL.—The Parry Sound North Star
of Nov. 29th, contains the following
which refers to one of our townsmen :—
Blair ve. Chew Bros., Argue Bros., et al.
—This ease occupied the fall time of the
Court of Sessions last week from There -
day noon until Saturday evening. Aawe
intimated last week, it was an notion for
$200 damages against the defendants by
Robert P. Blair, of MoDoogall, for flood'
ing three and a third aoree of his land,
in the process of driving loge down Blair's
creek. Of the land "drowned" over an
aoro was the original road allowance
along the banks of the stream, but whiob
was deeded to Mr. Blair by the Townehip
in lieu of a road given through his land,
On behalf of the defendants 960 was paid
into oourt in fall of the damage done by
tbetn, and whish they claimed had been
assessed by an independent person, and
was larger than bad been accepted by
other land owners along the betake of the
same creek ; it watt also held that the
council of muuioipalitiee cannot deed
away the public righto in the original
Crown reservations, and further, that the
action had not been taken in the proper
court, and other objoctione. At the Moen
of the evidence Hie Honor suggested that
counsel put up their aontentione as to
legal points, in writing eo ae to save
time. Thie was agreed to and the de•
oieion was reserved. W. L. Haight, of
Ole town, aoted for the defendants, and
G. F. Blair, of Brothels, conducted the
oaoe for hie brother, the plaintiff. Both
those gentleman handled their aide of the
dispute with skill and good judgment ;
the judge remarking that it had been a
pleasure to him to sit on the thee, ae hie
duties had been made easy by reason of
the care, thoughtfulness and skill of
counsel. The deoieion in thin naso will
be tvatobed with interest by all classes in
