The case was apixjaled and argued beforre the Di- visional Court in Toronto on M<niday and Tuesday, with the riisult that the convic- tion was quashe J, and the fine and costn ordered to be paid baid back to the path- master. The Judges held that as thu Ontario Tree plaiilii'g Act contained the phrase " planted and growing '', and the. trees referred to werenier-ly " g-owiinj,' the ooliviction was bad, aiiid ulso that under the Criminal Code tljjro wag n.» offenou as the pathiiia-<ter had, done no " wilful" act â€" Barrie A.lvmiee. - tProcior ^ o The Tailor Notcafiom Farming The relatively lilpb pricss which oftlves brinx this fall U siiother evidence of the »c:ircity of gtWjU ktoi-keis in the west.
