J. Crozier, of Toronto, was fined $10 and costs by Magistrate J. Willis in police court here this afternoon, when he was convicted on a charge of reckless driving arising out of an accident which occurred on the highway between Oshawa and Whitby on Saturday night, Novem- ber 17. when his car collided with two other cars. Crozier pleaded not guilty and a. great deal of evi- dence was heard, the case taking practically the whole afternoon. On Hunting Trip According to the _ information heard by the court, Crozier, with two companions, W. R. Wrethem and John Boyd, both of Toronto, was returning from a hunting trip in his car, a Hudson Super-Six. An accident had occurred at the foot of Lick's Hill and a number of cars were stopped by the roadside while their occupants attempted to give assistance to those who had been injured. C. S. Watts, of Tor- onto, was travelling west with his family, and had stopped his car to the east of the scene of the acci- dent. A minute later the Crozier car arrived and ran into the left hand rear corner of the Watts car, ifmpelling it off the road into the deep ditch. The big Hudson also swerved out and struck another car belonging to Harry Canfield, Osh- awa. Both machines were dam- aged. Weather Responsible In his defence, Crozier attempt- ed to prove that he had acted in a reasonable manner and that on ac- count of rain and the condition of the highway he had been unable to see the tail light of the Watts' car until he was within but a few feet of it, Magistrate Willis, however, thought that if the defendant had been more careful the accident would have been avoided. In the absence of Crown Attorney J. A, MeGibbon, who was attending court at Uxbridge, Mr. J. P. Man- C= AN gan, of Oshawa, conducted the case for the Crown. - ANNUAL CONCERT AT KING STREET SCHOOL A SUCCESS Christmas Event is Well At- tended By Parents and Stu- dents--Fine Talent (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Dec, 15.--The annual Christmas concert of the King St. public school, held in the town hall auditoriunr last night, proved to be one of the best in the history of the school and was attended by a large number of children and par- ents.

Churcher of Eastbourne hired a mo- torcar to take a patient a distance of 120 miles and was sued by the motorcar company for $25, the cost of the trip. The car had been hired by telephone by the doctor, who stated in court that he was acting for his patient, though he did not tell the plaintiff firm he was doing 80, The case was tried in the county court and the judge gave judgment for plaintiffs for the amount of the claim and costs, The judge said the defendant had taken the precaution of obtaining the patient's consent before telephoning but the judge could not hold there was any usage or custom entitling the doctor to en- ter into a contract on behalf of the patient such as the one in question. Such usage or custom might have disastrous results, He found the doctor gave the order without telling the plaintiffs he was acting as agent for the patient; and the plaintiffs had not given credit to anyone to the exclusion of the defendant nor elected to rely on the credit of any- one else but the defendant's. 11 pays fo Shop early- Daily Times Dh ce a i Yl lo \ b Na \ a Star Drill by Miss Baker's pupils; || FELT BROS.
