Cunningham & Smith ap- {| pear for the plaintiffs and McMurchy Mr. Justice Grant is & Spence are acting for the C.P.R. The two suits for damages amount- ing to $30,000, arise out of an auto- mobile accident which occurred at Craig's crossing near Verona on No- vember 13th, 1925, in which T. L. Reynolds lost his left eye and sus- tained other injuries and in which the three other persons mentioned in the cases, sustained more or less ser- fous injuries. On the day of the accident Mr, and Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Craig and her daughter were driving southwest along the Craig road in an automo- bile operated by Reynolds. This was at 12.30 noon and the C.P.R. train which leaves Kingston on the King- ston and Pembroke line was travel- ling north. At a distance which the plaintiffs estimated at from 15 to 20 feet of Craig's crossing, Mrs. Craig shouted a warning that the train was coming. Mr, Reynolds applied the brakes but his car stalled in a posi- tion where his front wheels were al- most on the first rail. Something on the side of the locomotive hit the car, whirled It around, and threw Mr. Reynolds and Mrs. Cralg out. The train was stopped and all were taken aboard. Mr. and Mrs. Rey- nolds were taken to Smith's Falls hospital and Mrs. Craig and her daughter went to Tichborne and were then taken home. i W. H. Smith, graduate englinesr and superintendent of a construction company, was the first witness call- ed for the plaintiffs. He gave evi- dence as to a plan of the scene of the accident which he had prepared. The plan was entered as evidence. Dr. Bogart, Dr. Etherington, of Kingston, and Dr. Paul Hallowell, of Verona, gave medical testimony as to the condition of the plaintiffs. Dr. Bogart and Dr. Etheringfon placed Reynold's injuries at fifty per cent. disability, 'The ladies who were in Lthe accid: were suffering more or less from shock but as far as the dBctors could discover had po per manent injuries, Dr. Hallowell gave evidence as to rendering first aid at the time of the accident and of at- tending Mrs, Craig and her daugh- ter since that time, Mrs. Craig when on witness stand claimed to be suffering from internal injuries. Mr. Reynolds, Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Craig were then called on to give their versions of the accident. not heard any warning whistle or bell and that they had not seen the train, because of a high bank on the rallway property, 'until it was too late to prevent the accident. Mr. Reynolds said his actual out of pocket expenses were about $900. Mr. Murchy protested against Mr. Cunningham entering evidence as to the condition of the bank on the rail- Way property either before or after the accident. He held that the rafl- ways were governed by The Railway Commission and that unless the com- mission declared that a crossing was Tongue Was Coated Bad Taste In Mouth Every Morning Mrs. J. B.

Mr, Justice Grant ruled that the! evidence should De presented to the! jury but promised that he would take | the objection into account when the | verdict was presented. The first business of the court} when it convened Tuesday afternoon was to empannel a grand jury, The jurymen chosen were: Joseph Barr, Calvin Bearance, Ernest Campsall, James Daley, Arthur Day, James! Dixon, Charles Dunham, Earl Moon, F. J. McRory, Gordon Rutledge, Mr. Riddell, J. C. Sutherland and Percy Dowsley. James Daley and chosen foreman. Mr. Justice Grant pointed out that while there were no criminal cases and therefore some of the duties usually performed by grand juries, were not necessary, still, he said, there was the important duty of in- specting public' buildings and public institutions to see that they were safe for the inmates and that public monies were being properly expend- ed. He charged the jury to perform these duties thoroughly and con- scientiously and to presemt-a report as soon as possible. Mr. J. B. Walkem on behalf of the Kingston Bar extended a welcome to Mr. Justice Grant on his first visit to | Kingston. - The presiding judge in reply, said that the bar had a re- sponsibility and could be of inealcu- | able help to a presiding judge if they really tried to do so and from the reputation of the bar of Fronte- nac county he anticipated no dil culties at the Kingston assizes, The case of Annie McDonald vs. John McDonald for alimony was an- nounced as settled out of court.
