The court cores, a 0, this afternoon, Magistrate Farrell will visit the new houses at the corner of Brock and Barrie strects crected by Ald. Graham. . When the case opened, this morning, Mr. Cunningham recalled City. Engi- neer Craig, who told about the walk being constructed in 1905. There was no great drop in the walk. a= had been contended. Mr. Cunningham said that the city should give and take more in a mat- ter of this kind. The present case was one of extreme hardship. If the law- yers of the city would take up the matter with citizens, they could get many cases against the city, for hav- ing obstructions. He claimed that there was not a day that the city could not be found negligent in some way. Acrost from his own house, there was a hydrant in the middle of the sidewalk, which had mo right to be there. If the city intended to press charges of this kind, then the citizens would press theirs against the city. "But there is no use threatening in that way," remarked Mr. Mcintyre. "The hydrant, no doubt, had a right to be where it was." Mr.' Cunningham "said that steps in front of the city light plant, on street, obstructed the walk. The engineer did not know about this. Mr. Mclntyre sgid that this encroach- ment was not twelve feet, not even' twelve inches, A witness was called who owned the property at the corner of Brock and Barrie streets thirty years ago, but | his evidence went to show there were no steps of the present character there at that time. | Ald.

Mr. Cunmingham added that if the city treated citizens in this way the city should: expect the same treat- Mr. Graham was, guilty of a breach of the A but there were hundreds - of cases which were ten times more flag- rant than his that could be found. "Iican secure one hundred cases of a much more flagrant character in- sile of one hour," said Mr. Cunning- ham. Mr. Mcintyre pointed out that was not desirous of prosecuting. En- gineer Craig told him about Ald. Graham's case 'and had asked him if he considered that it was a bieach of the by-law and he told him that be considered that it was. The city engineer was not responsible for io- lations in years past. He was sorry to have to enforce the by-laws but it was his. duty and that of the city engineer to see that they were car- ried out. ."But are you willing to prosecute 100 others if I furnish vou the names ?"" askéd My. Cunningham. Mr. Melntyre said that it was not his' duty to act in this way, but any cases brought up by the engineer - he would 'certainly act upon. He did not consider that it was his duty to ad- vise in the matter. The whole ques tion was this, where is it all to end?
