Milton's early closing by-law was repealed by the town counicil on Monday evening. The by-law was repealed because it appeared probable tIsat if it were not it would -be quashed by legal proceedings and the town saddled with heavy coats. 1On Saturday Geo. Lalng, grocer, was summoned to appear before Dr. Robertson, J.P. to answer a charge of violating the by- law. Mr. Hollinrake appeared as counsel for tIse prosecution and Mr. Boyd for the defense. On the case being called Mr. Boyd informed tic court that hie had filed a notice of motion as Toronto for tic quasb- mng of the by-law and that hie considered it advisable under the circuinstances to adjourn the case until the result of the motion was known. The magistrate therefore made an adjoumment for a week. In filing; thc notice of motion Mr. Boyd acted on behalf of Mr. Laing, who deposited $100 for coats. When Mr. Laissg's action becanse known, thc petition for Uic repeal of Uic by-law was circulated. It was signed by Uic following dealers: Metsrs. Hemstreet Bros., Bews and Lawson, bats, caps etc., Hemastreet Bros. and Lawson dry goods; Hemstreet Bros, Wilson and Porchett, boots and shoca; Tock, Conway, Houston and Hematreet Bros. groceries and Tock, pastsy and confectionery. On receiving Uic peti- tion Mayor Dice called Uic special meeting of Uic counicil wbich repealed Uic by-law. The council, by its action, practically admiitted Uiat Uic by-law was faulty and thus becorne hiable for Uic costs of Mr. Laing's notice of motion. The exact amount bas nos been ascertained, but it will be somewherc between $30 and $50.
