An j American paper wrote us requested ' us to send them a photo of the judge } who tried the ease, but of course that â-  was out of the question. A Walker- . ton paper thus comments on the case: I Where docs one park a red light on a hog for night travel on the King's Highway? Sounds ridiculous, j"But according to a recent interpre- I tation of the law said hog must be equipped with a light in order to main- tain status on the Provincial Roads. William Johnston, living near Flesh- erton, sued Rev. Robert Paton of the same village for damages when jMr. Paton's car killed his pig, Mr. i Paton had a counter suit for dam- I ages to hay car caused by the defen- dant's bacon producer. Judge Suth- erland allowed Mr. Paton $5 dam- lages to his car caused by the defen- ry a light either himself, nor did the pig have one fore or aft. I A Cleveland, Ohio, paper says: Whether or no pigs have wings, they ,must have lights when abroad on the [highways in the dark reaches of the 1 night. A pig out for an evening ! stroll without a tail light can't re- ^ cover damages if a moto/ist scratches \ off his mud or dents his fenders. Thus has a local judge decided. The pig's owner can't recover if more serious damage is done. Instead, the owner is liable to the motorist. William Johnston of Flesherton was leading a pig along the highway. At about 8 o'clock in the evening he was trekk- ing along the highway, taking home the bacon. A rope was tied to his porker'-3 left front foot, while John- ston walked in the rear. Suddenly lights appeared in the road and there was a dull thud. The pig, valued at $40, was no more. Johnston sought redress in the courts against the mot- orist. The plaintiff did not exercise sufficient care in permitting his pig to travel along a dark road without a light, Judge Sutherland of the Di- vision Court ruled. The sum of $5 was allowed the motorist, Robert Paton, for damages to his car when he struck the pig. "r^ "". : Small Advertisements Rev.
