Among the cases coming before the Supreme Court of Ontario at Hailey- hury last week the case of White vs. Town of Timmins is of special interest to the people of this district. The case is rather an involved one, there being many peculiar features about it. The Town has made every effort to effect a settlement without prejudieing its position or placing the municipality in an awktvard position. The facts may be outlined as follows:----) men were the evident owners of a building near the Whelpdale 'mine. One of these men was in negotiation with the Town for the purchase of the house as EASE llf HIM ill, WHIIE SH IWEH Ill NIXTIIBUBI Town for the purchase of the house as an isolation hospital, hut the other apparently closed a deal with Mr. A. White for the purchase of the build- ing. Mr. White purposed moving the building to a new site down near the river. ln the meantime, however, the Town luut sudderrneedfor 'an isolation hospital and the house was used for. the isolation of a smallpox patient Mr. White then approached the Town in the matter, and was offered a hun- 'dred dollars for the use of the house. as well as the guarantee that the Build in: would he thoroughly disinfeeted and evervthing lel't in as good con- ,ditiou as when the Town took over the house for- isolation purposes. At, the trial in Haileyhury it developed that Mr. White could not show title. to the land, and so the town was in the position-that il' any damages' were paid to Mr. While, the owners of the land might-later come along and also demand damages from the, Town. The case has already cost the Town two or three hundred dollars. The cost to Mr. White is probably much more Neither the Town nor Mr. White can hope to l)rolit' by t'urther litigation, The chances are that they will both lose. and the only persons profiting by" the case will he the solicitors, though it is only fair to add that the solieit- ors used every reasonable ettort to in- duce a settlement that. would be fair to all concerned. At the Council meet- ing Monday evening, the Town Sol-ic- itor, Mr. D. W. O'tt'ullivan, gave a brict' review ol' the case as follows:---- “Re White vs. Town of Timmins.--- The trial of the above action opened before Mr. J. Louie at Haileyhury bn Tuesday last. Before opening the trial Mr. Justice 'Logie sent for the Plaintiff's counsel and' myself and suggested that we try to get together in a settlement. We discussed the mat- ter at length and three propositions advanced by the Judge and approved by the Plaintiff's counsel. I consent- ‘ed to, but the Plaintltf's counsel; was unable to obtain the Plaintiffs en- dorsement. The trial was proceeded with about nine o'eloek on Tuesday evening. The Plaintiff was the first witness called to give evidence and his testimony very shortly disclosed that he was unable to show ownership of the land as set out in his statement of claim. At this juncture I applied for a non-suit with costs. This was refus ed. The Plaintiff‘s counsel argued that he should be permitted to prove his case on proving ownership of the house. The Judge declined to hear further evidence and directed that the lPra.intiir.'s solicitor on his own under- taking should join the owners of the lands as parties defendant, and ad- journed the trial 'to the next non- jury sittings at 1laileyirury. The costs of the day to be costs of the case to the successful party. In my view the lilt'iltlll should have been iion-suiicul, 'hut it is doubtful if an appeal would ii)" ot' any benefit to the Town as the tinain question is the disposition of the tcosts and the court " appeal is not. (likely. to inlrwl'ere with the d'mposition iniadc by the trial Judge who has the l:rcateét discretion as to the costs.” l Al'tey the reading df this review ot' lflenwnt imnld 116 made an early date.
