WHITBY EDITOR--JAMES H. ORMISTON AAA f Daily Times-! [ 4 4 4 1 4 ) TON COURT CASE IS AFTERMATH OF "AUTO ACCIDENT Whitby Magistrate Called Upon to Decide Nice Point of Law After hearing a long list of witnesses in Police Court on Thursday afternoon Magistrate J. BE. Willis reserved his judg- ment until Monday next in the case of Fred Lee, of Whitby, charged with operating a tractor "without lights after dusk, con- trary to the Motor Vehicles Act. The case js of particular inter- est because the magistrate is called upon to define just how dark it should be 'before auto- mobile lights are required. There 'have been several similar cases before the higher courts, and these, together with opinions of astronomers, were quoted by counsel in the case vesterday. The Act requires motor vehicles to have lights on between dusk and dawn. : The evidence in this case dis- closed that on the evening of October 3rd, presumably. about 6.10, Mr. Lee was driving a trac- tor with cutting box attached, on the Kingston highway just west of the town of Whitby. He car- ried no lights. An automobile, driven by Richard Mothersill, of Toronto, proceeding east to Osh- awa, crashed into the cutting box, putting the tractor in the ditch, smashing the car and bad- ly injuring Mrs. Mothersill, who had to be rushed to the Oshawa Hospital by a passing motorist, R. Coulson, of Oshawa. Mr. Mo- thersill and his father, who was | with him in the car, claimed that it was dark, that it was so dark that they had to put their car lights on at Pickering at ten after six, and that the tractor and cutting box were not observ- ed until the crash .Both testified that automobiles going east and west at that time carried lights, also that it was dark when the accident occurred. The crown called Clive C. Hatch, of Whitby, who said that he 'was proceeding east shortly after six with his automobile lights on because they were nec- essary for safety on account 'of the darkness, when he passed the scene -of the accident. He stop- ped for a moment and learned that a woman had been hurt. Proceeding to Whitby he called a service station to send out a wrecking truck, and also noti- fied the traffic officer. Mrs. Cook, of Brooklin, who was also passing at the time go- ing egst and said that she had put her lights on at Dunbarton. it was dark when she approach- ed the scene of the accident. Russell Coulson of ° Oshawa, coming from Greenbank, said that he put his lights on shortly after reaching the highway, It was then six o'clock. Traffic-Officer Sidney Hilliard was in Whitby on his way home on his motorcycle when called. He left that office of the Hatch Motor Sales that night at ten minutes to six, remarking that the lights in Whitby were on ear- lier than usual that night. He needed the lights on his motor- cycle to get home, He was call- | ed after another car had crash- ed into the Mothersill car. It was dark when he got there. L. Hyman, of Oshawa, defense counsel, called a long list.of wit- nesses who testified that at the time )f the accident, which was placed at around 6.10 or 6.15, it was not dark and that most automobiles passing did- not carry lights. One witness, Mr. Albert W. Richardson, said that he heard the crash in his house 75 vards east and that when he got outside hc could sec the scene of the accident at that distance, It was not dark, he stated. The defendant. Mr. Lee, said that it had been raining in the afternoon but was clearing at the time of the accident. He was proceeding along the highway east to Dr. McQuay's farm and could sec without any dif- NEE Eyesight Specialist pen Tuesday, Thursday and Satur- 3y evenings or by appointment at all times. Opp. Post Office Phone 1516 R ficulty without lights, Cars pass- ing him, he said, carried no lights, le expected to reach Dr. McQuay's before dark, he said, so he carried no lights. He said that after the crash he looked at his watch and it was 0.10, George. W. Lee, Clhailes Andrews, George Chambers and Mr. Guy all testified that they were in the vicinity of the accident and that it wasn't dark enough for auto lights. Mr, Guy saw the tractor go by a minute before the crash and swore positively that it was not dark. One letter produced by the Crown from the Observatory in Toronto said that on October 3rd the sun set at 5.39 pm. Twp other letters, however, produced Ly Mr, Hyman trom the same office said that the sun set at 5:50, one letter conflict ine with the other as to the time that it actually got dark that night. Crown Atterney McGibbon although there was a mass of evid- ence, the whole question for cused should have had lights on his tractor when the accident occurred had fully established that it was dark and that he had no lights. Mr. Hyman, for the defence, argued that defense witnesses werc just as reliable as those produced by the Crown, and all were emphatic that it was not dark and that lizhts ing used when the accident occur- red. Magistrate Willis said that he would take time to go into the evid- ence and give his decision.

N. Gibbs, , M.P. . The church was dedicated in May, 1368, the special preacher being the Rev. Dr. Morley Punshon. the famous English preacher. One year later, the church was set aside as a station, with Rev. Dr. Wellington Jeffers in charge. In 1873 the first pipe organ was- ingtalled in the church, this do- ing service until 1919, when it was destroyed by fire, and the present organ, one of the fines: in Central Ontario, was instail- ed. The bell which swings in the church steeple was a gift of the young men of the churan, and was presented to the con- gregation in 1877.
