After a. number of witnesses for the Crown and de- fence had been examlncd. Mr. Mark McGuigan in summing up the case for the defense said the prison- er is chargcd with uttering forgery knowing the document having been forgery.

He defined forgery as set down in the criminal code. "Is the document produced by the Crown a forgery. Have they proved that George Brown did not sign that cheque." "I submit they did not."

If a man draws a cheque on a bank and "has no funds that is not a case of forgery. The only man who gives any evidence about that is the prisoner who is not contradicted. Out of tho three witnesses of the

Suppose the document is a forg- ery. The prisoner explained every- thing. If this man had forged this instrument or known it was forged would he keep trying to get his money. He wrote to George Brown, Hazelbrook and he and Mr. McNeil went to the Magistrate. Does that look like a guilty person.

They ask why didn't he look for Brown. When a man commits forg- ery it is the duty of the~Crown to investigate the matter.

I submit the Crown have made out an exteremely weak case. They have not made out that a forgery was committed and if a forgery has been committed they have not prov- ed who committed it. If there was forgery it was not done by the prisoner and I think he is entitled to a verdict at your hands.

With Seven Provinces (iontrol, Legislat gled Between Do inccs.

(Canadian Press)

OTTAWA, Ont., July‘12. —Can-i

almost hopelessly With seven out of nine provinces of

of the sale of liquor, several knotty questions have been recommended by Dominion law officers for inter- pretation by the Courts.

Three leading points which the judiciary may be called upon to e- cide are:

Is the importation of liquor into the Provinces of Prince Edward Is- land, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick. Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta still prohibited under the Canada Temperance Act? ,

Is the exportation of liquor out of the Provinces oi Prince Edward Is- land, New Brunswick, Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta still pro- hibited under the Canada Temper- ancc Act?

Is the New Brunswick Liquor Act respecting Government Control as restrictive as the Canada Temper- ance Act, and, if so. should seven of the counties in that province be again placed under a provision of the Canada Temperaiice Act pro- hibiting local sale? ‘

With respect to the first point, there are Dominion orders-in-coun- cil prohibiting the importation of liquor into these provinces under the Canada Temperance Act. Do these orders-ln-council, it is tech- nicaly questioned, affect such of the seven provinces as have adopted government control? Under an old axiom it would appear that as laws do not apply to governments unless they so expressly state, the govern- ments of these provinces are except- ed from the provision of the Act, al- though private individuals are re- strained. Again, it is asked wheth- e those orders-in-council auto- matically lapse when the provinces to which they applied ceased to be dry. If the orders-in-council have lapsed, what authority is there" to prevent the private individual from importing, seeing that the regulat- ion of importation is a Dominion matter? l

In regard to the question of ex- portation," orders-ln-council have been passed by the Dominion Gov- ernment prohibiting exportation of liquor from‘ Prince Edward Island, New runswick, Alberta, Saskatche- wan and Manitoba, as a conse- quence oi resolutions passed by the respective provincial legislatures. These orders-in-council prohibit ox- portation on condition that prohibi- tion is still in force in those provinc- es. Under Government snls in these provinces, it ls asked, is pro- hlbition, within the meaning of the Canada Temperance Act. still in ef- fect? If it is decided that prohibi- tion is not in force in these provino m, within the moaning of the.Act, than exportation, yit n amiss logically permitted.-
