The case was a very interesting one. being an action for damages, the plaintiff, Mrs. Thos. Isaac. who resides near Echelon Falls. having jumped from a buggy when the horse driven by her husband, became frightened at the approach behind of Mr. R. A. Callan’s auto. In jump- ing her hip was fractured , receiving an injury which she will never fully .mover from. Messrs. R. .1. Mc- Laughlin, K.C., and Mr. A. M. I-‘ul- ton appeared for the defendant, the former in his defence maintaining that Mrs. Isaac was entirely at fault for unnecessary jumping out, when she would have been quite :‘l to in the Pig: : also claiming that Mr. Callan and party saw no rig in the road. and that Mr. Isaac must have driven into the bushes before the auto approached.

McLAUGHLIN, K.C. In his address to the jury Mr. Mca Laughlln in part stated that it was an unfortunate accident. “ There are a great many accidents where no- body is to blame. Except Mr. (‘al- lan was negligent you cannot place the blame on him. There is a feel- ing against autos, but. they have a. pork“. right to the roads, but the driver of the auto is not responsible for any accident unless he is negli- gent. Mr. Callan was driving along carefully. The point is what did Mr. Callan do that was improper? If Mr. Isaac had kept right along the road, when Mr. Callan got within 300 or 400 feet of the rig he would .have slowed down and signalled, but, ‘Mrs. Isaac got unnaturally frighten- ed and jumped out. There was not the slightest bit of danger of Mr. Callan riding over anyone. llis lights were on. She was the sole cause of her own injury, having jumped out and unnecessarily injur- ing herself. Mr. Callan was not to blame. The rig must have turned oil into those cedar bushes when the car was 300 feet behind. The law tells how fast a car must be travel- ing when meeting any rig, but doesn’t say anything about the speed when going past a vehicle traveling in the same direction. All she had to do was to sit in the rig and be perfectly safe. The auto did not hurt them in any way. Mr. (‘allan couldn‘t be expected to sound his born when there was nobody ahead of them. The driver of the auto was not guilty of any negligence.” MR. THOS. STEWART. Mr. 'I‘hos. Stewart in his address ito the jury stated that his task had been made somewhat lighter by the placid address of Mr. McLaughlin. " In his preliminary evidence Mr. Callan disputed everything, necessi- tating the securing of a number of witnesses to driVe the facts home. The auto was beyond any manner of doubt the one that did injury to Mrs. Isaacs. The position Mr. (‘81- lan first look was that it was not his machine, but the pile of evidence was driven home and the owner of the auto established whose auto scared the horse and in consequence causing the injury to Mrs. Isaac. Mrs. Isaac on looking over her “ I could see them." Mr. McLaughlinâ€"” Well, that is a little bit different than what you said when being examined." Mr. Stewartâ€"“No. he did not read further in the eVidence." Mr. Isaacâ€"“Mr. Callan was driv- ing the auto and sitting on the left hand side." Mr. McLaughlinâ€""On the 14th of March when you were examined you said you could not tell which side he was sitting on, only you said you knew he was driving. Who told you ? What makes you think Mr. Callan was driving ?" “Because I knew it was Mr. Cal- lan‘s auto. He alwnyfi gives his own." Mr. McLaughlinâ€"" Was that the only auto that passed that day ?" “ The only one that I saw." To Mr. Stewart Mr. Isaac remark- Mcssrs. “RSI: it you tell a diflerent story that hevwas a son of the plaintiff, Institute meeting at Fenelon Falls edâ€"“The 51110 was between 200 and and left it at 20 minutes past four.’300 feet thiDd When I first turn- I went to Mr. Burgoyne's store, ed and saw it.

It is a very crooked road. we met Mr. Bedford and his daughter near Perrin’s Creek. 'At this time it was getting dusk but there had been a snow fall.
