FIRST DECISION GIVEN N DAVIOSCH CASES Apparently in Favour of Sutherland Interests Who Are Left in Control of Books, Etc. The first round in the promised serâ€" ies of legal battles in connection with the Porcupine Davidson Mines has been won by the original group of diâ€" rectors. The case, was tried at Toâ€" ronto last week, being that of Poreuâ€" pine Davidson versus Messrs. Sutherâ€" land and Evans, in which an order of replevin was asked> respecting the books, documents and other papers of agreements whereoy.the board was tTO remain unchanged until the loan to the Davidson Consolidated had been repaid, and that, in any case, the board having been duly elected at the annual general meeting of the plainâ€" tiff company, held on March 28th, 1924, there was and is no right to elect a new board during the current vyear.‘‘ The Master points out that no reference has been made to the company‘s byâ€"laws which might throw some light on the case, but that referâ€" ence is only made to a case under the Companies Aect, ‘which provides that in the absence of any contrary provisâ€" ion in letters patent or byâ€"laws, the election of directors shall take place yearly. is sworn to,"‘ continues the Master, ‘‘*and not denied that the election of September 4th was in diâ€" rect breach of the agreement referred to and that a very large sum of money was borrowed on the strength of the agreement, no part of which has been repaid. The only answer made is the contention of counsel for the plaintiff that the agreement is not binding upon the company and should not be enforced and that the only remedy, if any, is an action for damages. ‘‘Mv diffiecultyv,""â€"says the Master, THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘‘My difficulty,""â€"says the Master, ‘‘is that I am quite unable to say unâ€" til the real dispute between the parâ€" ties is tried out, that the books and records are not now in the possession of the plaintiff. â€" The real question at issue is not whether the plaintiff comâ€" pany or the defendants are entitled to the hooks and records, but whether the directorate of September or that of â€" March truly represent the comâ€" pany. ‘"‘I cannot try that question,"‘ he adds, ‘‘and until it is determined, it appears to me it is impossible to say that, as between the plaintiff company and these defendants, there has been any wrongfual taking or wrongful deâ€" tention, or in fact a taking or detenâ€" tion at all, either wrongful or otherâ€" wise. The application _ therefore is dismissed. Costs in the case to the dismissed. Let me be a little kinder, Let me be a little blinder. To the faults of those about me, Let me praise a little more; Let me beâ€"when I am weary, Just a little bit more cheery, Let me serve a little better Those that I am Striving for. â€"Erie ‘‘Safety Pin The Novelty Dance held by the A.] 8.

According to the North Bay Asâ€" sessor‘s fignures for this year the popâ€" ulation of North Bay is now 13,011, an increase of 852 over last year. The assessment figures for Timmins give this town a population of 12,293 for this year. Timmins however, has a much larger transient population than North Bay, so it is not unreaâ€" sonable to suggest that this city has equal if not greater population ‘than the "Gateway to the North."" Timâ€" mins is growing steadily but rapidly and promises to be the biggest town in all Northern Ontario. â€" At presentâ€" in the whole wide area of the North it appears to have a greater populaâ€" tion than any other town or city with the exception of Fort William, Port Arthur and Sault Ste.
