PAYS $25 FINE OR CRUELTY Harry Sinclair Given Sus- pended Sentence for Injuring Animals i -- (By ) Bowmanyill,, Dec. 19--In a case heard before Magistrate Ward in po- lice court here last week, suspended sentence was granted Harry Sinclair, who was found guilty by the magis- trate of causing unnecessary pain and injury to an animal by tying tin cans to a horse's tail. $25 and costs. were imposed on Sinclair. , The case arose out of a trick which Sinclair played and which resulted in quite severe injury to a mare owned by Frank Beer of Oshawa. The ani- mal had apparently been causing an- noyance and Sinclair, who is an em- ployee on the farm of W. Glaspell, undertook to cure it of its bad hab- its, Hhe chose the rather primitive method of tying ti ncans on to the horse's tail, and these of course ter- rified the animal so that it jumped ences, etc, and injured itself quite badly, when he let it at large on the highway. Sinclair, who is a Scotch immi- grant, was warned in no uncertain terms by the magistrate that such practice is not allowed in Canada, whatever the methods of taming wild horses be in Scotland. F. S.

According to the Highway Traf- fic Act, a charge must be laid within ten days of the alleged of- fence unless the magistrate grants an extension of time when he is shown that the time is not suf- ficient for the serving of the sum- mons. Magistrate Willis thought that the charge of having an Ameri- ~an car in Canada without cus- toms being peid, wez not a mat- ter for the police court but rather one for the customs department. He inimated that he wou'd inform the department of the details of the caso. "What would you turn inform- er!" ejaculated Louis Heyd, coun- gel for the defendant. "I would consider it my duty," replied His Worship. The first of tke perjury charges concerned a statement said to have been meade to J. C. Bryant, Con- cession Street, Pickering, by Wid- ner to the effect that he was to blame for the accident. "What was sald between the two of you?" Mr, Bryant was asked by Crown Attorney J. A. McGibbon. "I asked Widner if anybody had been hurt. He said 'My father-in- law has a cut on his head.' I ask- ed him if anyone had been hurt in the Bath car and how the ac- cident happened. He said, 'There was no one hurt. I was going about 30 to 35 miles an hour, and I was on top of the buggy before 1 saw it. I swerved to the left, and if I'd had two or three inches more, I could have made it. I guess it was my fault' »" As fhere was no one to cortob- orate Mr. Bryant's testimony, the charge was dismissed.
