| 2 THB.GSMAWA TIMES, Tessdey, September 15, 1959 | GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN /BRIGHY CHAPTER IN CREIGHTON STORY Se another bright chapter has been written into the : Thomas Kelso Creighton story? erhaps close proximity to the Four Corners en- our bias unduly, but one point became ob- us during the recently concluded York township land probe: ~The top lawyers don't all come from Toronto. Results of the probe won't be known for several weeks, but #t was a colorful, drama-packed affair, It was also well punctuated with sensational headlines, with heated clashes between opposing counsel, and with grave issues; it lasted 47 days and may cost the tax- payers $100,000. With such a backdrop, with so much at stake, it naturally attracted some of the biggest names from Ontario's legal world. John J. Robinette was there. So was G. Arthur Martin, (with his fabulous record of having success- fully defended 28 clients charged with murder.) So was Joseph Sedgewick and Charles Dubin, and other of that high calibre. So was Mr. Creighton, special commission counsel. The man who dominated the inquiry throughout, who guided it with the sure, deft knowledge of an old courtroom pro, was not a big-name Toronto lawyer. That man was "Kelly" Creighton of Oshawa, and his success was no fluke. It was easy to see why he is regarded as one of Ontario's foremost authorities on municipal law. He is also a bencher of the Upper Canada Law So- elety and a former city solicitor for Oshawa. He's also a skillful eross-examiner with a dominat- ing, but pleasing courtroom presence. The probe proved a stiff test for most of the coun- sels, but Mr, Creighton never appeared to falter and it was evident from the start that he had done his home- work thoroughly. Mr. Creighton is not a man to back down before a big name; this became evident when Mr. Robinette made application to Judge J. A. Sweet for a "Stated Case" ruling--i.e, a statement of the problems pre- sented in writing so that they could be presented to the Court of Appeal. Mr. Robinette's point was well taken, but Judge Sweet ruled in favor 6f Mr. Creighton who contended that under the Municipal Act the Lieutenant-Govern- or may direct such an inquiry, may issue a commission to probe into financial affairs of the township with- out being subject to review by the courts. Mr. Creighton followed a stiff schedule during the probe, commuting daily between Oshawa and To- ronto. He frequently worked far into the night re- viewing the day's testimony, His love for municipal law dates back to the early 1920's when he entered into a law partnership with the late Col. J. F. Grierson. He was city solicitor for Oshawa from 1940 to 1951 and city magistrate from 1930 to 1934. He was facilities of the Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club. Two doubles games were played during the A NUMBER OF THE visi- tors at the Friendship Day, held Monday by the Rotary Club of Oshawa, enjoyed the COMMUNITY INVESTMENTS Sale Of Stock To Begin Soon Sale of stock by Oshawa Com- taining new Industries through {munitr Investments will begin the device of a community in- very shortly, the Ukrainian Busi-| vestment corporation. {ness and Professional Men's As-!
