which lesulted in a unanimous verdict in favour of the plaintiff the hearing of the case was a most lengthy one commencing on tuesday morning and continuing until late friday afternoon eleven witnesses were called by each side the addresses of counsel were heard on friday afternoon with the address to the jury by his honour being heard after the supperhour the jury retired about eight in the evening and did not return with their verdict until one oclock satur day morning as will be remembered the action was one for damages alleged to have been caused by the sale by the de fendant company to dure on april 29 1930 of a quantity of clover seed in which it was alleged was the seed of a weed known as field pepper grass which sprang up in the plaintiffs fields the next year and smothered out his crop of clover as well as rendering his crop of hay a loss due to the fact that the cattle and horses would not eat it in addi tion it was claimed that the farm was free of the weed prior to the sowing of the seed obtained from the defendant company and that due to its presence the plaintiff was put to considerable expense in an effort to remove it the evidence of mr dure which was corroborated by his son earl was to the effect that he purchased the clover seed from malcolm mc nab manager of the mill on april 29 1930 having been told that the seed was first class ho claimed that he paid cash for it part of which he borrowed from his wife norman a keys h scott rltchlo ritchie keys barristers solicitors continental life building 371 bay streot toronto 2 telephone ad 9t67 l

2500 othor items paid included lake wilcox garage repairs to fire truck r5s richmond hill water works 3910 and a rebate made to the markham township veterans of s11s12 mr conant referred to what he jury pointed out that the main question before the court was as to whether two bushels of clover seed had been purchased from tho brechin milling icompany all other evidence being corroboration or de nial of this act the issue before the court being as to whether the seed was purchased from tho mill mr conant reffered to what he termed discrepancies in tho evidence of the plaintiff as well as in the i evidence of the witnesses called to substantiate his statements one of the instances of this was stated to b in the time the alleged transaction at the mill took place mr conant contended that there was a dis crepancy in the time given at a previous trial and that given to the court at this hearing mr conant also drew attention to the difference in the evidence given by mr dure and his wife as t o what the tele phone conversation as to the quality of the seed had been he also point ed out that professor elliott of ottawa who examined the seed had stated that the sample of the residue of the seed sown produced in court was not tho same as that sent to him mr conant drew attention to the tact that the witnees had testi fied that he had found some 250 field pepper grass seeds in an ounce of seed supplied to him this was the highest weed count in the analyists experience mr conant submitted that under the circum stances it was not probable to sup pose that such a dirty sample could have come from the mill it was pointed out that the evidence of moses dack was to the effect that the plaintiff had told him he had not saved a sample but later told the witness ho had sent away a sample of the seed it was contended that the evidence adduced went to show that the weed had been present on the farm prior to the sowing of the seed mr roebuck in his address to the jury pointed out that few people had hotagraphic minds which en abled them to remember word for word what was said in conver sations or to remember the exact happenings at some time prior to their being questioned in the courts he submitted that in his experience where two witnesses took the stand and gave evidence exact in every de tail word for word it was usual to suppose that their evidence had been specially prepared mr roebuck stated that the jury was placed in tho position of having the obligation of protecting the farmers of canada from tho sale or impure seed he contended that it was not simple for mr mcnab knowing that the seed was bad not to make any entry in tho companys books out of employment if the scheme the untimely death of mrs harry ratcliff which occurred in stouffville on
