Fine OI $50

A fine of $50 and costs or 15 days in jail was meted out last night to Harold ling’ham Bryon-l ton. Malpeque. on a charge of i failing to stop at the scene ofi an accident.

The charge arose out of a‘ highway accident at Cornwall. while the accused was travel- ling on the Trans-Canada High- way toward Borden.

At an earlier session of the Queens County magistrate‘s court. the accused pcared before Magistrate James ‘ B. Johnston. QC. and entered a plea of not guilty.

At last night's special session the accused requested that his plea be altered to guilty. This was accepted by the prosecu- tion. represented by Alan K.]‘ Scale-s. The accused was not re- | presented by counsel. '
