Ha would not. say how many times the cap turned over. or if it turned over at all. He had a hazy recollection of being taken in lvlr. Shows car and of sitting between him and Mrs. Show. on the way to the Howital. He was there for eight days and after getting out of the Hospital was not himself for three or four days. Cross-examined by Mr. Large. the accused said he had worked at the Halifax shipyards in 1944 and 5. He left the shipyards in May. 104.5. Alter that he work- ed in Chatham. Ont... and was home for a week last August for a holiday. The plant was closed for that week. The accused had not been involved in any motor accident in Ontario. The tires and ‘tile brakes on his father's car were good. It was Buchanan who had told ‘the accused of the short- cut to the shore. After having a swim they had loft Beach Grove about 6 o'clock. Accused intended to take the car home. around 8 o'clock. lle was going to have supper then. The curve whefe they turned to go into the field was quite sharp. On the way out the second time the accused did not see three boys on bicycles nor did he see any e oty bottle being thrown out of he car. The p.t holcs were in the pave- ment as cne came to the curve. The accused did not see them but he felt the front wheels jerk. ‘The car was in he centre of the road going arou - the curve. The ac- cused said he drove slowly through the City and no more than 30 or 35 miles when going to Beach Grove. .. v.5 PP°r‘i-‘$"5".°'P'f° 33 33 338333383 .. r5." sasriirev- 33 233 33F ssyqqgofi D-¢>-A>4KJ o b0’ ‘ob QQI 5.00 10.00 Dcfpsise Arguments Mr. Campbell. before addressing the jury, cited several English jurists on what constituted crim- inal negligence. The burden of prod, Mr. Campbell maintained, was on the Crown. It was for the Crown to prove that tlic hr- cused was a "bad man", that he was guilty of felony, that he is "mens rca". that is to say. that he had guilty intent when driving the cor around the curve atBescli Grove. It is not enough for the Crown to think the accused was In that position; it is for the Crown to prove it. It. Mr. Camp- bcil said. the jury had zllly reas- Oilable lloubl. in their minds as to the felonious intent of ihc cr- cuscd. then they did not need to examine the facts. Whether the car turned OV(‘l‘ three times or more had nothing to do with the charge against the accused. Mr. Campbell said. unless the Crown proves the accused is a felon. Otherwise. ho was ‘entitled to an acquittal. _ In Ills address to the jury, Mr. Campbell briefly reviewed the ev- ldence as to the speed of the cal‘ and the sobriety of the accused. All evidence pointed to the fact.‘ he said, that the accused had been soberand there was no evi- dence, cncept that of one boy. to shorv that the accused had driven more than 36 miles an hour. The evidence of the Crown's own witness-Cpl. Lionel Strons. RC. M. P.. had been that there were two pit holes in the road near the curve and that the cause 0d the accident could have been that the car had stnsck them and. out of control. had landed where it did on its sldo. The Crown. in the parse of Mr. Large. was now at- tempt n3, Mr. Campbell said. to convict and, tend the accused to the penitentiary for hsvlrg struck pit holes on s road whose con- dition wu _the responsibility of the uovernment of which Lerlwwss a Fem". " There was no _ol_li.-ilnl:e..to show that the accused." had shown mil erlrnlnal- negligence in the. drlvihe of the car and he would aak the jury for an acquittal. Crown Addresl Mr. Large, llddiICt-ltilllg tizc jury. said that while the adminls/trat- ion of justice in theProvlnce was in the hands of his Department. the conviction of llny person for a criminal offence was solely in thc hilnds of a jury. ’l'hat fact Mr. Large said. was the crowning glory of the English law. The Crown charged that on August 5th last, "George Green did unlawfully kill and slay Shir- ley ‘Bigger and thereby did culm- niit manslaughter" because she was a passenger in a car driven by Green with criminal neglig- ence. That char-go, Mr. Large said. had been proven by the evi- dence submittcd to the Court. It is true. Mr. Largo admitted. that the curve on the Beech Grove Road was niuch too sharp. But ii". had been bull-t for war purposes and was a thoroughfare not-great- ly used. Moreover, no accidents had happened there before. Mr. Macliiacharns evidence was that he had driven the ambulance ou-t there on the evening of Aug, 5th at 50 miles an hour and had had no difficulty. Mr. Large contended that the evidence of the three boys. had shown that the car had been trav- elling at an exoessive rate of speed. even at Government Pond. l-le would ask for a verdict of "Guilty." Judge's Charge After defining the different kinds of homicide. Mr. Justice MacGulgan, in his address to the jury. said it. was the duty of the jury to forget everything but the facts of the case. Sympathy. or other sentiments favourable or unfavourable to the" accused. should be blotted from their minds. It was his duty to ac- quaint the jury with the law bearing on the ease. It was not for the jury to question that in- struction. If he were wrong in his instruction. the accused had a remedy. It was, therefore. their duty to take the law as given to tlic-m. On the other hand. the jury were the sole Judges of the facts. The Judge has the right to ex- press his opinion on the facts of a cue but the jury are no! bound lo accept that opinion. ‘more was little or no evidence. His Lordship said. to show that the accused had been under the influence of liquor on Aug. 5th last. There was no apparent reas- on foi- the accident. There was no traffic on the road: there was nothing wrong with the car; and the accused knew the road for lie had been on it previously that day. speed, however. was not a determining factor with reference to the road. Even if the accused were only travelling at 35 miles an hour. that speed at that curve was too great, His lordship said. But one way of determining the speed is by what happened to the car.
