seeding $50. The Magistrate, acting uncle;- that section, disposed 0f the case in that way. I1, was not, as some- one has said, a fine of $25. It was a fine of $225 for two foxes, making

$450 altogether, and that money nat- v

urally goes to the Crown. Had I been there personally I certainly would have endeavored to have had the guilty parties sent up to the Supreme Court, but, of course that was the right of the Magistrate to try this matter summarily, and I am not. go- ing to criticise his proceedings at all. That was within his right, t0 deter- mine the matter in that way, and n. has been disposed of under that par- ticular section. I know that there are ehose who feel, as I do myself, that an important industry of this kind is to be safeguarded, and I would much prefer m sce the parties sent up to Supreme Cour; and, if guilty, punish- ed to a greater extent than they like- 1y have been; but that is not a. mat.- ter now for me to criticise the judg- ment of any Court or any Judge. I feel that so far as I am personally concerned, I ‘tried to do at least all I could. In fact I did more than per- haps I was called on to do, because I had engaged the services of these men and they were successful 1n dis- covering the crime, and I feel that it was largely through the efforts of the defective that the guilty party was brought at least to admit his guilt.

PREMIER SAUNDERS DEFENCE

Mr Stewart The leader of the GOV-

ernment made some explanation with‘

regard to a question raised in connec- tion with the prosecution for theft of some foxes in Summerside recent- ly. I gathered from his statement that the fines that were collected went. to the Crown?

Premier Saunders: Yes.

Mr. Stewart: Under the Section, as I remember it. a certain proportion of the total moneys collected would go to the person aggrieved.

Premier Saunders: Look up your section.

Mr. Stewart: I have not the Crim- inal Code here, but at any rate that would make the matter all the worse, when the proper criminal penalty is not enforced. I understand my hon. friend to say that. if he had been there ii, would have been otherwise.

Premier Saunders: I didn't say ll- would be otherwise. I said I would endeavor.

Mr. Stewart: Thai is, youwouid make a recommendation to the Mug- istrate?

Premier Saunders: Sure. .

Mr. Stewart: And was the Crown not represented there?

Premier Saunders: The Crown was represented.

Mr. Stewart: But apparently there was no such recommendation made on behaifo! the Crown. The newl- paper report says to the contrary, and it has not been contradicted. There was an explanation given pur- porting to bo a rllfcnve, of what ao- iunlly did happczl. it cited the so“ tion of the Code quits extensively and wmi. into s lengthy defense of the wilolo butter, but it did not make

the Mafl-si-mte on behalf of the Crown. The whole affair is. to my mind. rather an unfortunate one, and it certainly. has raised a good deal of distrust and disappointment in the minds of the fox men of this Pro- vince. _

Dr. W. .7. P. Ma-ollillan: Might I ask the Attorney (auroral i.f that is the way cases of their, will be dealt with in the future?

Premier Saunders: Well, now, of course‘ my hon. friend, being here W11?“ I 8W8 my explanation shouldn't have asked that question.

Dr. MscMillan: Unfortunately I was not able lobe here at the time; but I am asking it now.

Premier Blunders: I already an- swered that. The law is there and the Magistrate availed himself of the special solution 3'10 which enabled him to do lust exactly what he did. and it is not the province of the At- torney General to adversely criticise any Judge. He was within his rights in doing what he did. My hon. friend the leader of the Opposition has ask- ed! What would I have done had I been there? Well, personally, I an- swered that-that had I been there I would have made an effort to have the matter submitted to the Supreme Court; but I was represented there by a. gentleman who is able to deal with these matters as they should bc dealt with, and in the wisdom of the Court they saw fit to dispose of it under this special law. I may tell my hon. friend that. I called the matter to the attention of the Minister of Justice already, pointing our, why 1 believed that section does not meet cases of this kind. It is up to the Fed- eral authorities to remedy that if they see fit. The Minister has been r8- quested to do it; whether he will do it or not I cannot say. While the sec- tion is there it ls in the province of any Judge to operate under it. other- wise what is the object of it being there, lf it is not intended for pur- pose? Of course, an industry such as the fox indusir", mods every rea- sonable precaution; yet, as I say, there was the statute under which this offence was tried and a conviction made. As i0 what may ilappen in the future, that is entirely a matter for the Judges who may be trying them. If I happened to be represent- ing the Crown personally, as I said before, I would have endeavored to have had the parties sent up to the Supreme Court.

Mr. Stewart: Might‘! ask l: the Crown was consulted when the Ciao was brought before the Magistrate. Who laid the complaint?

Premier Saunders: The detective, or it may have been the party ag- grieved. the man who lost the foxes. I gave instructions to the detective to have the information sworn and the arrest made. I am not prepared to say who laid the information. Mr. Sfewdrt: The detective was Ill the employ of the Government’). Premier Saundcrl: You.

Mr. Stewart: Then of course the person representing we Crown would naturally have seen that he laid tho information properly.

1' Saunders: The information was for stealing.

Mr. Stewart: But it could not havt boon the mdinary information for stealing. ‘This is a special section. It is not the ordinary count for theft.

Mr. Stewart: That is Where the error. was made.

LAW COURTS BUILDING

Hon. Mr. Stewart asked if it was the intention of the Government to make any changes in the entry of the Law Courts Building Charlottetown this year.

Premier Saunders: No, that matter has been under consideration for

expenditure. I would like to see this building put in proper shape. Tile office of theJudge of Probate is en- tirely too ,_small and the Supreme Court room is entirely too large. I think readjustment would be the pro- per- thing. My personal idea. is to get some man who will look the situation Over and recommend such changes and give us an estimate, and pro- bably next year we will be able to give attention to it. But this year we do not intend to do anything.

COUNTY COURT CLERKS

Hon. Mr. Stewart called to the number of names appearing under County Cour; expenditures, in the Public Accounts, (Classification of Expenditure, i928, page 4, part, 2.) There are only five Circuits, and seven names appear. Mr. Henry Smith's name appears as Clerk, but not, that 0f Mr. McConnell who replaced him. According to the Public Accounts, there was no change in 1928 in the Charlottetown circuit. He noticed the name Austin Vanlder- stlne. Could the promotor say what circuit that gentleman was on?

Premier Saunders!" I am n01: very familiar with the different names. All I know is thagvthe circuits are filled with clerks, and they are getting-tho same salaries.

Mr. Stewart: But I want to know what changes have been made in the personnell, and why.

Premlcr Saunders: I arn not in I position to say.

Mr. Stewart: For instance, Neil A- McNcvin and Malcolm P. MacKin- non. Evidently one of those gentle- men succeeded the other.

Premier Saunders: I suppose one was there fr some time and the other balanced the term. I can't say.

Mr. Stewart: Was he dismissed?

Premlfi- Saunders: I can't. even say that.

Mr. Stewart: My hon. friend would know if he dismissed him by Order in Council. Surely he would remember that, whether there was an Order in Council made?

Premier Saunderl: I am not charg- ing my memory with everyone who goes in and goes out. The clerks are there at the same salary. Surely that should be enough.

Mr. Stewart: That is no; the way that we should have information, and I do not think it an occasion for any impatience. The committee is entitled to all this information.

Premier Saunders: I can’; give it t0 you.

Mr. Stewart: Then I submit, that the item should stand.

The Chairman: Shall it carry?

Mr. Stewart: Just a moment. l wnnvthe ruling. I submit thee we are entitled to reasonable lnformati If an official of any of the Couh ' Courts is dismissed, than this House

heart story ever told!

= A picture the whole family will enjoy,

I submit that the information should be forthcoming. I am not asking my hon. friend to charge his memory with everything. If the change was made by Order in Council, an or- dinary memory would carry a. matter of that kind, There are surely not so many dismissals in the run of a year, and I would suppose they would be within the memory of the pre- sident of the Council.

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: There was s change, as my hon. friend will remem- ber, in the keeper of the County Court.

Mr. Stewart: There ls no such per- son as the keeper of the County Court.

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: Well, there was a change in the clerk of the county Court. in 1.928.

Mr. Stewart: No, there was no change _ in 1928 in the clerk of the County Court in Char- lottetown. Thai; is one of my reasons for enquiring.

Premier: Saunders: So far as 1 know, I don't know of any changes that have been made. As I said be- fore, I haven't charged my memory with who hasbeen changed, nor do I know who is clerk“ of the County Court. outside o; Charlottetown; but. I do know ghat the salary is the same as ll, always has been.

Hon. Mr. Stewart: We have several members of the Executive Council here, and the names to which I am referring are Neil A. McNevln and Malcolm P. Mcliinnon. ‘Those are familiar names. Perhaps my hon. friend from the First District of Queens as a member of the Government, will recognize them; or perhaps my hon. friend- from the Second District can give the House some information.

___--—-——- FULL PARTICULARS OF ISLANDERS DEATH

(Milford, Mass. Exchange)

MILFORD, April 5.—Truclove Tay- lor, 37, was fatally injured this after- noon when he was crushed under u wooden stringer weighing about two tons, while at work wrecking the boil- er room at the old Buy State quarry plant, l-fopkinton road.

Mr. Tuylordied two hours later in Milford hospital. He was n. member of the firm of Taylor & Dempsey. road building contractors and build- ing lvreckers, and had been a resident in Milford for 20 years.

WORK NEARLY DONE

A large port of the boiler room had been torn down when tile fatal acci- dent took place. Two posts support- ing the heavy stringer had been yanked down with a steel cable at- tached to one cf the ‘firms large mo- tor trucks. The stringer ‘had been loosened and Mr. Taylor jumped on top of l: rock that was on top of a smaller stone in hopes cf pushing tho stringer so that the nails which lverc holding it would be released.

Another. worker, William Brown, oi Milford. gave a warning that the cable ought to be attached to the heavy stringer, just as the upper stone on which Mr. Taylor was stand- ing, slipped. Taylor threw ills arms around the lowered end of the string- er, releasing the stringer, yvhich fell, pinning him under it.

Mr. Brown frantically tried to ralsc the stringer, while Mr. Taylor, still conscious, gave directions. Charles E. Marshall and James Dempsey, both

the plant, heard his cries, and plied bricks on one side of him as fulcrum for a plank to lift the stringer so he

ed to the hospital, where he died.

WAS AN OVERSEAS VETERAN

Mr. Taylor was an overseas veteran. He is survived by his wife, Emily, and a. daughter, 8. He also is survived by his mother, who lives at Bridgetown, Prince Edward Island; three brothers, Albert of this town, Seymour and Wallace, both of Prince Edward Is- land, and two sisters, Maud and May, also of Prince Edward Island.

Mr. Taylor attended the Methodist church. He was a member of Milford aerle, F. 0. E.

Truelove Taylor, 2'1, of 4 North Bow street, received internal injur- ies when crushed by a large beam which fell on him at ihe old Bny State quarry on the Hopklrlton yesterday aftemcon and died loss than an hour later at the Milford hospital, where he was rushed as quickly as possible.

Mr. Taylor remained conscious until a few minutes before he died. He suffered intense pain ln the ab- dpmen, across which the heavy joint rested nearly 10 minutes until help could be summoned to take it off the helpless man. "

The services of five workmen were necessary in removing the big tim- ber which pinned Mr. Taylor to the ground. William Brown was working with the victim at the time and quickly summoned others some dis- tanco away. 1

Then the victim was rushed in Ed- ward's ambulance to the hospital. Dr. 1". D. White, who responded to emergency calls, rendered medleel assistance, but the man was crushed to such an extent that death occurr- ed about 3 o'clock.

The job on which Mr. Taylor was at work was about tbs last remain- ing at the quarry, the property of which was bought by himself and Abraham Indursky nearly a year ago. Since that time the equipment had been dismantled and sold and finally a Ollllnmel‘ was round for h... last of the lumber left on the grounds.
