Cubitt-Nichols was awardedl =judgment for $301 and county court` `costs by Mr; Justice Latchford in the !case of Cubitt-Nicholsgversus Edger- ton, argued before the High court in Barrie, Feb. 21. The realty man had: sued for a commission on the sale of ` a farm. In a previousreport of the case this paper stated that the de- fendant contended, through his coun- sel, that the Barrie estate man was late in his offer. It appears that Mr. 'Cubitt-Nichols was not late in his offer, but his client got to the farm a day late. That was no fault of ;Mr. Cubitt-Nichols, as his work had lbeen previously completed. - -`REVIVAL 01-` RIFLECLUB IN BARRIE IS TALK]-ID or LANCE SNIDER GETS CHANCE LI ........ ... .,.,...,....._,,-.-.....A., ......n...-..,- Hope $25 and costs on each of two charges of selling adulteratedv tinc- jture of iodine.

There are many things to be con- sidered for permanency. Possibly, requirement of a guarantee might, under certain circumstances, be argu- ed as grounds for expecting incom- petence.
