A VERY FULL JUDGMENT Frailway will continue their last year's INTERESTING ACTION DIVISION COURT. AN IN Test Case Results in C.P.R. Paying Damages Through Negligent De- lay in Stock Shipment. Perth Courier An action of much more impoit- | ance than is usually disposed of 3 | the Division Court was tried before | Judge Scott quite recently and after reserving the matter, his honor has handed out a very full judgment. The action was instituted by David McLean, the well known drover of the township of Elmsley, against the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. for damages sustained by him, by rea- gon of a_delay on the part of the rallway company in carrying a car- load of cattle from Franktown to Toronto. By reason of the delay, the 'sale of the cattle on the stock market in Toronto was held up for twenty-four hours, longer than would otherwise have been the case. During the twent y=fOUr hours the price of live stock fell,' and Mr. Me- Lean, consequently, suffered dam- ages. From the evidence it was quite clear that there was unreason- able and unnecessary delay at Tren- ton, and the judge found that this delay amounted to negligence on the part of the company. The company relied upon a special contract, which all drovers are obliged to enfer into, and which contraet contains a pro- vision -that the company shall not, be liable for damage resulting from delay of trains. It was contended on behalf of Mr, McLean, that the right 'of the company to be relieved from damages under the provisions of the special contract only obtain- ed where the company were not guilty ofenegligence. It was further contended that where negligence was established that the wi were not entitled to claim of benefi of their special contract. The case was a very important one for those engaged in the ship- ment of cattle and the result is of interest to all the drovers in this locality. The judgment handed out by His Honor Judge Scott decides the aec- tion in favor of Mr. McLean, who gets judgment for the full amount of his claim, 'with costs. "BUSTER" GRAVES.
