SOME INTERESTING LAW SUITS
[Welland Telegraph, 15 May 1891]
Major L. Clarke Raymond is certainly a very fortunate barrister, as all the cases that he has had before the courts during the present month has been decided in his favor. On Monday the case of J. Macdonald & Co., of Toronto, vs A.E. White et al, was decided in favor of the defendants, who were represented by the Major. On Wednesday the case Bradt vs Maines, a dispute as to occupancy of a store, was settled in favor of plaintiff, and the case of Regina vs Howell, of International Bridge, was discharged. In the matter of Scotty Jackson vs James Spain, for keeping a $10 note, the property of Jackson, a verdict was given in favor of the plaintiff. In each of the cases Mr. Raymond represented the winning side. The case of Howell was certainly a cruel one. The man was arrested in May for stealing a horse blanket on the 1st January from Mr. I.H. Allan, of International Bridge, whilst in a drunken stupor. Upon returning the same to Mr. Allan and getting his seal cap which he had left behind the matter was forgotten, until election time, when a row took place between Spain and Jackson in the latter’s store where Howell is employed, and because of Howell being a witness to Spain taking Jackson’s $10 bill, some evil disposed person worked up the case of stealing against Howell, who was committed by Magistrate Hill and dis-charged by Judge Baxter.
