pus and certiorari in aid made by Charles O'Brien of Covehead Road was granted in Supreme Court by Mr. Justice yi. R. MacGuigan. 0'- Brlen release from Queen's County jail was ordered by His Lordship and costs of fifty dollars were a- warded him.

He was represented before court by J. Lester O'Donnell.

O'Brien appeared before Stipen- diary Magistrate Gilbert Gaudet on ca. 24. last. charged with having had in his posseaion a still con- trary to the provisions of the Excise Act. The case was adjourned sev- eral times and came .up again on Nov. 24. Meanwhile Btipendiiry- Magistrate Gaudet ad left the Province but. before leaving. had

for King's County stip- uidiary-Magistrate Joseph W. Mao- Donald. to act during his absence. On Nov. 7A. Btipendiary-Magistrate Joseph W. MacDonald adjourned the O'Brien case and on Decem- ber 2-stipsndiary-Magistrate Gan- dst having returned-O'Brien was convicted by Magistrate Gaudet and fined 8500 and costs and six months in jail. In default of pay- ing the 3500, he was to serve an additional term of six months. On January 5, O'Brien was lodged in the Queen's County jail.

The Magistrate's Act permits a Magistrate, if ill or absent from the Province to appoint another Mag- istrate to act during his absence from duty.

But Section iii? of the Excise Act provides 'where a prosecution in re- meet to an offense against any provisions of this Act Is brought before a police or stipendisry-mag- isttate, or before any two justices of the peace, no other justices of the peace mail sit or take part therein, except that in any city or dlstrict in which there is more than one police or Btipendiary- Magistrate. suoh prosecution may be tried before any one of such police or stipendiary magistrates”

It was agreed that members of the City Council would attend in a body the funeral of the late Major W. A. Smith, former clerk of the City Police Court, this afternoon.

The Council in this regard also passed a formli resolution as fol- lows: "Resolved that this Council rccordits recognition of the loss felt by our citizens and the City Government in the loss of Major Walter A. Smith, long a city of- ficial of unusual character and ef- ficiency, and that an appropriate letter be sent to Mrs. Smith."

Councillors Johnstone. Storey and Maobonald were absent last night. However. Councillor Mac- Donald who wrote exipreuing his regret had Councillor M. Aiban Farmer make a request that in view of the present high cost of living the members of the Police Force be given a substantial raise in pay. This reconunendation was made by Mr. Farmer and seconded by Councillor Arthur Goa-rnlegy. It will lie over for consideration of the incoming Council to be elected next month.

The ever-recurring problem of Government Pond again was brought up for discussion by Coun-

something should be started to clean it up and make a beauty spot of it. Councillor P. R. Mccormac expressed the opinion that it should be fined in altogether. but Coun- cillor Keefe said it would best at least 350,000 just to lay the neces- sary pipes with the present financial expense to the city he did not believe this was practicable.

Mayor J. D. Stewart stated that practically all the citizens he had spoken to on the subject eivpreased a desire to keep it as a pond and not fill it in.

The Mayor also told the Council that on their behalf and that of the citibens he had sent flowers to Mayor Henry Wedge of summer- side who is in homital here as a result of an accident this week.

Councillor Farmer. who had been disarming the matter with mem- bers of the Junior Chamber of Conune cc. gave notice of motion regarding an amendment to the present our-few law.

Aspects Of

"Three hundred cases have been disposed of and as many more are in various stages of hearing" said Hm. Thane A. Campbell, Chief Justice of P. E. Island and Chief Commissioner of the War Claims Caonmisdon of mnaida. in an ad- dress before the Rotary Club at their weekly luncheon held in the Charlottetown Hotel yesterday. His talk dealt with "Some aspects of war claims".

"Two years more of full span on the hearings, followed by an ex- tended period under a slowing up procus will be necessary to ex- amine and dispose of from seven to ton thousand oases now in sight or anticipated". the speaker said.

In a brief outline of the salient features and problems of the situation Chief Justice Campbell said it might ap- pear atramga that payments of claims were only beginning now in connection with the war which was over in September 1845. "The war claims following the first war were not finally disposed of until fifteen years after it's conclusion; we hope to be more expeditious."

Reparation funds have only been available for the past two years and the activities of the Commis- sion deals with events from the sinking of the Athenla until the cessation of hostilities with Japan. Claimants must be Canadians n: the time ion or damage referred to occurred and also at the time of the presentation of claim, Re- ference was made to the difficulty in establishing National status, in considering cases prior to the passing of the Oitizetnshiip Act." Domicile is a complicated question", said the speaker. Claims must deal with losses through operations of war. and not only due to a state of war.

Another difficult matter to deal with is the clams of dependents of deceased. persons who suffered losses, The speaker described a number of cases such as the seiz- ure of an automobile in Germany owned by a Canadian. If such were done only because the Canadian was an enemy, an obligation is in- volved but on the other hand if the car seized was part of a general confiscation, the case was different.

Special Consideration

Chief Justice Campbell explained in detail the working of the re- gulations under which interned persons who suffered undue hord- ships or were maltreated by the enemy. are to receive special con- sideration." Those who suffered severe privation. cruelty and un- derwent intense hardship while prisoners of war are to receive one dollar per day for the period of their intermenit", Chief Justice Campbell said. This payment is i79- ing made automatically by the Do- minion Board.

rent conference of Commonwealth finance ministers in Australia, Thu- budgct itself may be brought in about Moron 25.

Three major legislative items still must be considered: The hous- ing bill. revision of the Criminal Code and the decennial review of the Bank Act.

80-Year Lapse

Debate on the housing measure, starting today. is axpeclzcld to con- tinue for more than one day bc- fore the bill is given second read- ing-aipproval in principle. Then it will be sent to the Commons bank- and commerce committee. which also will study the Bank Act. The Criminal Code revision will be the first complete overhaul of the code in more than 60 years. The job is simplified by the fact that similar revisions were studied. but not passed. in the last two sessions and most of the ground- work aiready has been laid.

As well, three major aspects of the Criminal Code will be given separate study. The commons- Benate committee will review the questions of capital and corporal punishment and lotteries. mid in royal commission will study the plea of Insanity as a legal defence.

Pensions Bahama

Legislation for a fz-deral-provin- cinl scheme of pensions for the totally disabled was forecast in the speech from the throne at the start of the session. The plan will be starting Jan. 25. to which all prov- diecussecl at a conference heri- inoes are scheduled to send repre- sentatives. It would provide pm- sions of 140 a month to some 20.000 totally disabled between the agcs of 18 and 66, with the cost split between the federal and provincliri governments.

Two vacancies in the Commons have been created since the House recessed. J. C. Nadon. 54. Liberal member for Gatlneau. died Dec. 17 and Paul Emile Cute. 44.

Sees Foremen Linking Workers And Management

BRANTFORD. 0nt., (CP)-Fore- men are a link between manage- ment snd workers. T. A. Rice of Hamilton, second vice-president of the Canadian Manufacturers Asso- sociation. said Monday night.

In an address prepared for deliv- ,ery to the Brantford Foremen's 'Ciub. Mr. Rice stated:

"You know that management and labor are really working for the same ends--that what will benefit one will benefit the other. "However, there is a breach between management and labor which, for the sake of prosperity. must be narrowed to a minimum. You are the men who can best narrow it, not to a minimum, but right out of existence."
