INJUNCTION TO BE CONTINUED Chancellor Boyd Thursday morning granted a continuation of the injuncâ€" tion of the counties of Brant and Waâ€" crloo against anyone interfering with the old toll road, one of the few such remaining in Ontario, between Paris and Ayr. For six miles it runs through the township of ‘Dumfries, Brant county. The road belongs to the estate of John Stuart. In 1907 the people living along the road apâ€" plied to have it inspected, claiming that it was dangerous. The Governâ€" ment inspector found it not in proper condition and ordered the owners to repair it. Nothing was done, . and several months later _ the inspector, again fimding it unsafe, declared . the road rights of the owners forfeited. ‘The Council passed a resolution . reâ€" cently declaring the road open to the public: Meanwhile the Stuart estate, wanting to sell it, appointed C. 8. Clark to look aiter the property. He began to plough it. The tollâ€"keepers continued to collect tolls, until the counties stopped them by arresting them, the convictions being sustained in the courts. An injunction was then taken out.
