Speeding in the Ring Flight at Fall Fair Sparks Lawsuit
Wiarton Echo reports Sheriff Jermyn attended the Fall Fair with his car. He crossed the track as a racing event occurred. a sulky driven by Amott collided with the car. The Sheriff faces a $120 lawsuit for alleged damages to the sulky and harness. The defense argues it was horse racing not speeding in the ring, which is forbidden on fair ground per provincial regulations. Judge Spotten of Guelph recently dismissed an appeal in an Ontario Temperance Act case, upholding a magistrate’s conviction of Wm. Walsh for liquor selling and sentencing him to jail for three months after a $200 fine. The judge ruled the county judge had no more power to alter penalties, given the minimum for that offence.
