Ronan v8. SAOL& ST. MARIE,—This was an action beard at the Chancery Sittings iR Goderioh on the llth inst., before Mr, Justice Robertson, and was brought by J. D. Ronald against the town of Sault 81. Marie to recover the sum of 5310, the interest due on debentures to the extent of 56200, tine price of a steam fire engine, hose and reels sold and delivered by the plaintiff to the defendants during the summer of 1880, and for a declaration that the debentures iasuod by the de- fendants were valid and binding on the corporation after the delivery of the en- gine. After the oouneil had thor- oughly tested it, they passed a resolution, nndar seal, for the purchase, and sob. mitred a bylaw to provide the necessary funds, which was carried by a 1atg- majority. Debentures were in due time issued and handed over to the plaintiff, but the by.law authorizing the issue ex tended the period of pnyesens It month beyond 20 years from the time at which the bylaw took effect. The plaintiff, in negotiating the debentures, being made aware of this defect, sues communicated with the corporation, asking that the de. feat be cured, which the corporation then agreed to do. Nothing was done how. ever, in this respect, but the defendants continued to use the engine, sending it to Cook's Mills, where there was a largo fire, and for which they received some 675 for it serviooe. When the action was brought the defendants refused payment and re- sisted the snit on the ground that their by.law was defective, in that it extended the period of credit one month more than 20 yearn. Judgment was reserved, bat the learned Judge, in commenting on the matter, made use of the remark that he wished the town clerk, who was present at the trial, to go home and tell the town fathers that it was the most dishonest trana•letion on the part of the corporation that had ever been brought to his notice.
