/From the Chatsworth News./ The sitting of the Division Court held here on Saturday last did not occupy much time as it usually does. Several cases were adjourned and a number of judgement suits disposed of which we deem advisable not to mention. The following is a list of cases:-- Sargeant vs. Winfield, et al--Adjourned until next court on account of the inability of the defendant to be present. W. Masson for defendant B. Coleman, on behalf of himself and all of the shareholders in Markdale cheese factory vs. Charles Boyd--action brought by plaintiff on account of breach of contract by defendant to draw milk. In this case the defendant set up fraud on the part of the plaintiff but failed to prove fraud, and on cross examination swore he could not read or write even his own name, when council for plaintiff produced notice of dispute signed by the defendant. On the production of this document the examining counsel dropped the defendant like a hot potato, stating that if all his evidence was as true as this statement it was not of much account. His Honor fixed the damages at $20, but reserved judgement until the production of an agreement between the patrons of the Association. W. Masson for plaintiff; A. B. Klien for defendant. Harvey vs. Campbell--Judgement for plaintiff $136.94. W. Masson for plaintiff. Turner vs [Wolfile]--Fred Lepskie, garnishee. Garnishee discharged. W. Masson for plaintiff. Gerolamy vs. Lavitt--judgement for plaintiff. J.M. Kilbourne for defendant.
