A BROKEN BY-LAW
The application made by the City Council last week for a writ of attach* meaxt against Joseph James Moore was again before his Honor tho Chief Justice ({Sir Robert Stout) in th£ Supreme Court on Saturday. Tiie writ was applied for oi i the ground of tho defendant’s noncompliance with a city building by-law. When the matter was last before the court defendant, protested that he bad effected the required alterations and declined to enter into any promise to comply with tho by-lay. His Honor adjourned the matter for a week in order to give him an opportunity of making the alterations.
On Saturday Mr E. J. Pitzgibbon asked permission, to moke a statement. He said that defendant’s son, who occupied the house, had consulted him and he had advised him not to disobey the injunction which the council had obtained’. The sou had two children and a wife who was in a delicate state of health, but he would undertake to comply with the corporation’s requirements if he were allowed eomo time in which to get his wife away. Mr J. O’Shea, who represented the City Council, raised no objection to reasonable time being allowed. The case was adjourned for a fortnight to admit of the work being done.
