Jatglylilzjg 1;. H 1953 Prisoner ilisoharged in Excise Vcaso

An unusual case was brought before Mr. Justice Max R. Mc- Guigan in Supreme Court on Sat- urday, in which a writ of habeas i',0l'pl.lS was issued on-request.

The situation arose from a con- rictionseeured under the Excise Act, when Magistrate Gilbert A Gaudet sentenced a Dunstaffnage man to be imprisoned for six months and to pay a fine of 3500. and in default of payment to serve an additional six months sentence. He was committed on warrant dated January '1. 1952, and remained in Jail until early in June when he became ill and was transferred to hospital on order of the Jail phys- ician. Some weeks later he left the hospital but still being in poor health he was allowed to return to his home. He was remanded again on January 7 of this year. when on instructions the Sheriff retook him ill charge and returned him to jail on the old warrant.

Counsel for the prisoner. Mr. Lester P. O'Donnell applied to Mr. Justice McGuigan for a writ of habeas corpus, mainly on the ground that as the warrant was dated January, 1952. and it was now actually a year later, one year had expired, being the mate time to be served under the warrant.

Justice MeGuigan held that as the full time had run under the warrant. it had then expired and he could not be kept in jail under it. The prisoner was therefore discharged.

The Crown contended that as he had been home for some time. he had not served the full time prescribed under the warrant, he should be obliged now to do so. Mr. Lester O'Donnell appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. J. P. Nich- olson for the Excise Department.

The annual Sunday School con- cert was held in the Community Hall on Monday evening, Decem- ber 22nd, and was attended by a fairly large crowd, who were high- ly pleased by the entertainment provided by the pupils participat- lng.

Weather Affords Striking contrast with Last Season

One of the worst storms to bit here in years was at it's height a year ago yesterday. Driven by a howling northwest wind of 35 miles per hour velocity, the ten inches of new snow was piled into impassable drifts throughout the Province, bringing all traffic in a virtual standstill. The De- partment of Public Works and Highways. a year ago today re- ported, "No roads open at all, everything plugged solid." Plows were used only in emergencies al- most entirely as a result of power iailures.

The schools and many business places were closed for the after noon, while others were closed all day. The temperature at the Ex- perimental Farm dropped fast from 30 degrees to 20 in little more than one hour. The Borden train did not arrive until well on towards morning after the car- ferry Abegweit made a single crossing for the day. Cars left in the open were almost buried. vis- ibility was less than a hundred feet in the blinding drifting snow.

In comparison, Mr. Warren Burns, weather observer said last night that ten inches of snow fell during the storm, which brought the depth to 16 inches on the level with the temperatures running from 20 to 40. while yes- terday .84 inches of rain was re- corded and the temperature read- ing was 35 to 46, with a south- east winds at 10 miles per hour.

Flat River School Concert

On Monday, December mud, the Flat River Concert took place in the gaily-decorated schoolroom, which was filled to overflowing with interested parents and friends.

During the program, Mrs. Char- les Nicholson, First Aid Instructor. presented Standard First Aid certificates and pins to eight suc- cessful students. Mrs. John A Rose read a letter from Mrs. Harry Cudmore, Diector of First Aid. congratulating Mrs. Nicholson and her pupils on their excellent show- ing in the recent exams.
