Jury finds ilo Blll- Against Ch'Iown lawyer

The Grand Jury yesterday 1-e.' turned '"No true bill" in the bill of indictment preferred against Mr. N. W. Lowiher. K.C.. alleging misappropriation of trust funds and uttering of a forged document. The Grand Jury's return- means that iheyconsider that the Crown has not made out a case against the accused which would warrant lils being put on trial.

Chief Justice Thane A. Campbell presided at the opening of the Queen's County Assizcs at which only one bill of indictment was preferred to the Grand Jury. His Lordship noted that by Act of the last. session of the Legislature Grand Juries have been relieved of the duty of appointing con- stables and fence viewers, these ap- pointments being now made by the Judge. Going on to instruct them in the matter of inspecting public buildings the Chief Justice voiced appreciation of the recently com- pleted redecoraiion of the court- room. 12 years after its last paint- ing. The Minister of Public Works. he said, had well ignored the cr- roneous iheory that the law should be administered amid dusty books and grimy courtrooms. The report of the High Sheriff showed that since the January sittings ll6 prisoners had been confined in the Queen's Co nty Jail. almost all of them for o ences connected with intoxicating liquor. It is by check- ing minor offences. stressed the Chief Justice, that the commission of major crimes is prevented. The total number is rather less than for the corresponding period dur- mg the last few years. At present there are 21 prisoners.

Reviews Indictment

”Thcre is only one bill of indict- ment being prusentcd to you," the Grand Jury were told. "That in- dictment, charging two counts, criminal misappropriation of funds by a trustee and uttering of a forg- ed document, is distressing in that the accused is a member of the bar of the Court. The accused was trustee under the will of Mrs. M. Matilda Wright of Summersldc and is accused of converting 54000 of the funds of that estate to an improper use. also with unlawfully uttering a forged document know- in; it to have been forged, the document being a paid cheque for 04000 originally made out to "Jen- nie Gallant or N. W. Lowther". al- legedly altered to "Prov. Treas."

The Chief Justice went. on to review the evidence taken on pre- liminary enquiry indicating that there had been an error of 04000 in the accounts of the estate as approved by decree May 4, 1919 which left a bank balance of that amount and reduced the residue by that amount. The residue was left. one-half to the trustees of Trinity United Church. Summer- sidc, for home missions. and one- half divided equally between the Educational Society and Superan- nuation Fund of that church. Cheques were then made out to all parties with claims under the order including one to Jennie Gal- lant for 34000.

About-May 2.8 the accused had his co-executor. Mr. Cyrus B. Mor- ris, sign another cheque for the same amount made out in the name of "Jennie Gallant or N. W. Lowther". The second cheque ap- peared to have been placed on de- posit with the Provincial Treasur- er in the accused's name, and was seen later at the bank by Mr. Mor- ris and again in the possession of the accused. on the latter occasion the name being apparently altered from Jennie Gallant to "Prov. Tress."

The Chief Justice charged that the evidence was technically suf- ficient for them to prefer an in- dlctment and that they should bring in a "true bill" if they found that the intention of the accus- ed was dishonest. I-lis Lordship went on to discuss the accounts of the estate as passed and what purported to be it copy of an amended decree of the Probate Court showing an additional 34000 payable to the United Church and which had been forwarded to the church treasurer together with a. cheque for that amount. No such decree was issued by the Probate Court. The Grand Jury were to hear the Crown's wil- nesses for themselves, however. and not take the facts from the Chief Justice. They were to de- cide whethcr there had been any attempt to defraud. The accused was to remain at liberty on bail bond until the finding of the jury.

Iteturned For Instructloi-is

The Grand Jury went out and twice returned for- instructions. I-lis Lord-ship advising them that they should interview all the Crown's witnesses and that there was no question of giving the accused the benefit of A reason- onable doubt. That consideration would only be for the petty jury if the case should go on to trial.

The Grand Jury come in at 4:26 P. M. and returned "No blii".

Counsel for the Crown were the Hon. Walter ll. Darby. K. C. and Mr. J. P. Nicholson. for the accused. Messrs. W. E. Bentley. K. C. and D. I... Mathieson. K. C.

Purchase Of U. S. Ships

OTTAWA. June 20-(CP)-The Federal Government is seeking power to ban the importation of United States-built ships into Can- ads, Transport Minister Chevrier disclosed,tod.ay to the Commons shipping committee.

At the same time. he told the committee the Government is not planning to change conditions for registering British ships in Can- ada. which enables ihem to partic- lpaic in Dominion coastal traffic.

Power to prevent the import of U. S. ships would be vested in the Transport Minister under a new clause in the Canada Shipping Act, which was still under study by the committee when it adjourned until tomorrow.

Mr. Chevricr told the committee it was aimed particularly against the purchase by Canadians of old United States vessels for use large- ly on the Great Lakes and also on some parts of the coasts.

He indicated also it. might be used to cover. as well, new ves- sels built in the U. S., though un- der present conditions no newton- nage was being constructed there for Canadian operators.

Mr. Chevrier said a large num- ber of old vessels had been bought in the U. S. by Canadian compan- ies, and his Department now had no power to prevent their being operated under Canadian registry

The new clause will give him discretionary power to refuse Can- adian registry.
