Now, Mr. Editor, I am only what\they term a “hayseed,” orignoraut farmér, Lhave heard of the mysterious- ness of the law, but I never before had the opportunity of seejng it in its real- ity. Two cases of appeal against a drain were heard Se gg Apsom giyen, hut I think the judge, lawyers, etc., were surely somewhat muddled, for in my opinion the ap were con- tradictory. In the first place, Mr. Ar- nold, the owner of lot 1, on the 16th con. of E ima, appealed against his assess- ment of $199. ‘The Judge lowered it to $100, giving as his reason that this lot Was injured because a drain was being dug through the centre of the lot. Well it appears to me that this lot especially must have something of the kind to make it of any use whatever. The lot at present is practically of novalue now that the timber is gone, but when this ditch goes through it will beas valu- able as any of the adjoining lots. But the Judge says he must not pay any- thing for this drain; he must only pav for his outlet. So far so good, but see the other judgment. Mr. Broughton, who owns lot 11 in the same concession was assessed $96, the very lowest assess- ment per acreage of any of the tots in the neighborhood; lot 10 pays $110; lot 12 pays 325 for 25 acres, and you mast understand that Mr. Broughton's water goes through Arnold’s lot, No. 1, and in order that Mr. Broughton’ 3 water can get away this ditch must be so much larger through lot 1. Yet the Judge says Mr. Broughton was assessed too high and reduced him to $60. Nw would like to pat the question, “Who should ,; pay?” The Judge practically says if a large drain gocs through a man’s place it injures his lot, he should not pay; and then again he says the man who owns the lot on which the water rises shoyld not pay. Tho should? Could fou conceive of a mora contradictory judgment. Lots 7, 8 and 9in the 14th con. pay 3191 for’ outlet only; lots 6 and 7 pay S191; lot 8 pays $248; lot 9 pays $191 for outlet, and Mr. Broughton, whose lot was at one time the worst swamp in the whole section, has 396. And yet the Judge reduced him to $60, But srobably Mr. Brough- ton has put himself and his four brave sons in battle’array and dared him who rules the weather office to let as much water fall on his farm as on his neigh- bor's, or it is quite probable the Judge on seeing such an array of bullyism in and around the court room that he was afraid he would not see home again if he did not dosomething. J hear since that Mr. Broughton and_ others are going to “tak it to Taronta” poe if not successful would “tak’ it the auld countrie.” I think it would be a good aig fo the township of Elma if he would ‘tik himsel wi it” and stay there.
