(b) Titst the magistrate did not (fie;- ihe accused the right of call- ing witnesses. as required by Sec. 686. 2.

Al to the first groulnd. the ms- lcrlals before the Court indicate that the learned Stipenrllary Mag- istrate neither Cfmducled an in- yvestigstion as to the child's illidflif- standing the nature of an oath nor did he usir the accused if he wish- _ed to cell witnesses. Though Sec 1003 of the Crimlnnl Corie docs not tpeslfically require an extrinsic in- vestigation by the Court cr Magis- trate. it; necessity is made clear by the judgment of the Supreme Court of Canada. delivered by Am- Vgiin, OJ. in Saul-rev v.

A preliminary inquiry serves a number of purposes: (a) To further the investigation of a charge!

In nihis case, however. it is extrinsic- slly clear that tho only witness ex- smirled by the Grand Jury was the father of the young girl complain- ant and that apparently the only evidence which he was competent to give ovss an admission by the accused that "he may have been indlscreet in notions with child- ren. including rm daughter ". It is, at the same time established that. in the course of my charge to the Grand Jury, after outlining the principles at lam governing the of- fence. I told thorn that the de- positions of evidence token before the Stipendiary Magistrate disclos- ed sufficient facts in the eyes of the law to warrant a charge on the bill of indictment. The evidence of the girl‘; father. though it might have value in cor- roboration c.f the girl's own evid- ence, would certainly not be in itself sufficient to warrant fhe indict. merit. as the admitted Lndiscretlons ‘might have been those of language, ‘or manners. or gestures. The is- ther doubtless might relate s story ,wh!ch ltsd been told to him by his daughter, but such 5 relation would .be no proof of the truth of the 'story. Again, my reference to the isufficlonry of the evidence before yihe Magistrate. clearly based on Ithe assumed admissibility of the .dep05ili0i1! of the Crown's chief 'witness, the young girl complain- faclt. becomes invalidated by the lfihding that the ymmg girl's url- ,sworn testimony was accepted iwithout a lawful foundation.
