close.

October closed at 5754, Dec. at 58% and May at 62%, ,

Trading throughout was dull and routine, until the closing hour when selling s developed which gave some impetus to the downward trend, Weakness at Liverpool was based on the improved condition of European crops, .

Traders bars appeared to be wait- lng for the private reports on spring wheat and there was no inclination to press the selling side of the market in early trade, Support from the start

ticully no resistance was offered, - Markets to the south exhibited on easier trend due chiefly to private United States crop estimates which were construed as bearish, Flvo re- ports indicatcd an average winter crop of 440,000,000 bushels and a spring wheat crop of £13,000,- ooo bushels, 1i Light showers fell in most por- tions of the three prairie provinces inches over the week-end and tem- perstures were favorable ,for the filling and ripening of the wheat crops. improvement was noted in cash wheat with spreads fractinnslly het- ter.

Conviction Quashed

In Appeal Court

Text of judgment dellevsred re-

g] , n“ 081101! by Judge Arsensuit Ill u" ‘- h, " case of Matthew Vesssy, appellant, vs. Bennett J. Haywood, respond- ent, being a-n appeal from s. con- viction under the Prohibition Act

made by the City Magistrate. Mr.

R. R. Bell represented the appel- lant Vessey, and Mr. Albsn Farm-

er for the respondent.

This ls an appeal from s convic- tion made by the Btipendiary Mag- istrate for the City of Charlotte- town by which the Respondent was convicted of an offence against the provisions of the Prohibition Act, 1918, for having intoxicating l1-

quors in his possession and fined g in the sum of two hundred dollars

and in default of payment to im- prisonment for a. term of three months.

The only witness in support of the conviction at the hearing on

"Piles! was an old lady who swore 5‘ that she on one morning went into s. house occupied and in pomession u‘ of Respondent's father to deliver s. message from the owner, s Mrs. O'Brien. On the first occasion she 55 did not see the Respondent but talked to his brother. She says she y‘ was sent back there within a short time and that on this second oc- casion the respondent was at the door, that she smelled rum and that she saw a. small jug behind the door with rum in it and that the Respondent gave her about two teaspoonfulls of it in a glass. She says moreover that she had never known the Respondent before ex- cept to sec him. The Respondent admits that he sew this old lady on this occasion, that he had some rumlnssmalljumfllatitwashis father's and that he on doctors recommendation used to mix s. lit- tle of it with orange Juice for his father, who is ill and who can only take liquid nourishment.

That on this occasion he was on

c... y .'._ " ' ...,‘ his way u. the kitchen to steriliae "1 some utensils and to mix this rum Can so for his father, but that he did not i Y" give this old lady any of the rum. The medical doctor attending on Respondent's father says that he prescribed stimulants for the fath- er for heart condition such as dig- “ ltstis and nttro glycerine and that he may have recommended brandy, whiskey or rum for the same pur- Pose.

The evidence in this case does

not Justify s conviction. This old lady wanted to rent this house and the owner Mrs. O'Brien wanted to get clear of the tenants for the purpose of renting to the witness Mrs. Haines. Mrs. I-lsincs is not s sister, s disinterested party, as would lend weight to hor evidence. It is moreover quite unlikely that 14° 14° a person such as the Respondent

duld offer e. drink of liquor to

/

one who was a stranger in him and whowastnthehousstoconvcy l mmlse from the landlord to the effect that they were to vacate the y, house. I csn give no sufficient credence to Justify e. the circumstances.

uviction in

The Attorney for the Crown

urged that the Respondent by ad- ,‘ mitting that he had some rum in I lug made himself liable to the offence as he had liqour in bis possession, not in s bottle or con- tainer on which a vendor label was attached.

The possession of the liquor in

this case was not in the Respond- ent but in his father, and the Rs- spondent does not come within the class of clerk, mentioned in Section ea of the said Act.
