ONUS UPON THE OWNERS.
[BX TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
HAMILTON. Friday.
The obligation is cast by Statute upon all owners of steam and oil engines to secure from the inspector of machinery a certificate each year showing that tho engine is safe to run. This fact was made clear in the Hamilton Court to-day when a farmer, J. H. Simons," was charged with running his engine without a certificate, and was fined £3 and costs.
