Benjamin Passed a Standing Street Car. "Fmperial whiskey flowed freely by the wayside Tuesday afternoon when a generous motorist travelling from {Montreal to Toronto brought some of the Lower Canada booze with him On the ree road near the Five Mile Hq broke the front spring of his car, an 1d a hurried call vias sent to cine of the local garages for repair men, y drove to the spot, and while one was jacking up the car the other imbibed freely of the delicious Five drinks -he cldimed ito have taken before he passed the fire water to his companion. Between them they drank the bottle dry, and as the story of the hour's delight was told to the crowded police court on Wednesday morning many heads were seen to wag and a sort of far-away look came into yearning eyes. The motorist knew what he was dé- ing, for he paid no money for the work, and one of the tipplers made the startling statement that he did not | consider that a bottle of whiskey was | worth a new spring.

A. S. C.,, which was charged with cutting a corner at the corner of Montreal and Princess streets. The driver, Pte. Edson Murray, claimed that there was a mo- tor car in front of him and a street car behind him, and that all he could do was to make a diagonal crossing. His evidence was corroborated by Capt. Van Blackslee, and in a plea for a minimum fine, if found guilty, Lieut. Askwith stated .that instruc tions had been issued to all the driv- ers that no distinction could be made in the case of Government drivers, and that therefore they must obey the traffic regulations. In dismissing the case, the Police Magisgrate stated that he was pleased at the action of the authorities, and appreciated their interest in maintaining careful driv ing on the city streets. Although Leon Marrison, appear- ing for O. J. Robinson, stated that his car could not have been on Prin- cess street longer than seven min- utes, P. C. Leslie Armstrong said that the car stood in front of a local barber shop for twenty-five minutes Marrison said that it would be a poor barber that would have to take twen- ty-five minutes to shave him, and just to show how easy it could be dene he had Ross Hartman, his barber, called into the witness stand. Witness said that Marrison was in the shop be- tween five and seven minutes, and that a quick job was made because «the constable informed them that he had his eye on the car. Their efforts proved « unavailing, and a fine of $5 and costs was meted out. After being gdjourned on several! occasions, the "case against A.W Benjamin, Yarker, which was prefer- red by the Street Railway Company, of driving past a standing street car. came up once more. Mr. Benjamin was in fighting mood, but the evi- dence of Inspector Damon Marchand, Motorman Albert Perry ang Conduc- torette' Mabel Brewster showed that he had passed the car, and $5 and costs had to be put into the city cof- fers. Two other motorists, W. C. Ash- ton and the driver for Milford & Co.. did not appear in court, but paid $5 and costs to the acting chief of po- Late Miss Justicia O'Brien.
