doesnt matter to me whether there are 50 witnesses or whether it takes six months i shall proceed with the case mr justice e re chevrier declared in whitby assize court after hearing a further appli cation for postponement of the mowder vs mowder divorce actions his lordship also directed that the case be tried without a jury stating that he felt he would be making a greater error in judg ment if he allowed it to remain with a jury the request for postponement came from elsie mowder defendant in the first action and plaintiff in the second who had forwarded to the court an affidavit in which her physician stated she was not in a physical condition to be subjected lo the strain of court proceedings in urging that the hearing be de ferred until the fall sittings robert g roy codefendant in the first action who appeared on his own behalf claimed that it would be a travesty of justice to have the trial brought on at the present time imagine me going to all these places at the last minute he de clared as he pointed out that he had some 42 witnesses from various parts of the province and that one was snowbound in port perry a w s greer kc counsel for alfred c mowder plaintiff in the first action and defendant in the second argued that it was a mat ter of public importance in the ad ministration of justice that the case be dealt with now recalling that the first action was commenced in march 1915 and the second in february 1910 mr greer went on to say that the two actions had taken on an entirely different aspect from the usual divorce litigation there have been vicious unwar ranted attacks made by both de fendants on the parties in this liti gation he declared besides pub licity in the press there has been scandalous vitriolic material pub lished and circulated throughout the legal orofession mr greer recalled also that there had recently been further proceed frigs in connection with applications as lo venue etc and no suggestion had been made on any of these oc casions that mrs mowder was ill 1 respectfully submit he declar ed that there has been a definite preconceived studied premeditated deliberate course of conduct adopt ed to delay this trial

some 10 wit- nesses to bring on mr hoy claimed that this was definitely preconceiv- j ed to have the cas precipitated a the last days of this sitting i in passing judgment justice che vrier held that there was not suffi cient material to justify postpone mem regarding reference to there being some 50 witnesses he said i was immaterial to him whether there were 500 i have no right to choose my i when a ease is on the list and is ready to proceed i shall hear it he said jury notice had been given by the plaintiff in the first action but mr greer expressed his willingness to have the case tried with or without saps runnin that attractive line of trees fronting the farm of mr o l heise at victoria square has been used for years as a sort of baro- jneter to indicate whether or not saps runnin on tuesday spiles were placed in the maples there and a nice run of sap was obtained this means that farm er heise will proceed to enter his 18 acre bush on the farm and ul timately tap 600 or 700 trees if the weather of the fore part of this week continues of course any change to more winter weather would halt opera tions a few days but in the mean time we can honestly report that sap is
