CASES SETTLED. -The Drainage, Court was opened Thursday morning of last week at 10 o'clock by Referee Henderson, of Ottawa, in the Perth County Court House Stratford. Four cases are to be disposed of, namely : James Hamilton vs. Township of Elms ; Norval Hall vs. Township of - Elmer ; David Hall vs. Township of Elms, and Lorne Robertson vs. Township of Elma. These cases - arise from a dispute over the Bur- nett Drain which flows into the Thames River in Elma, The plain- tiffs contend that the rush of water down the drain is too great and the Thames river is not a sufficient out- let. The great amount of water coming in the river at that point causes it to overflow its banks and flood the plaintiffs' property oh the river banks. They are therefore suing the Township for damages re- snitin thereof. ' H. B. or h K. g nI P Y+ 0., M. P., is handling the case for the Township nshi of Elute, and Drown At: torney G. G. McPherson, K. C., is for the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs with- drew their claims and the cases were settled at noon.
