In passing juds- ment on the case, His Worship' warned Sinclair that he had bet- ter not continue to make whisky from his still since he would not be allowed to go with a fine next time. He would be sent to prison, His Worship could not understand why people would buy such liquor when the best of liquor was for sale at the Government stores, When the money was pald into Court, the magistrate suggested that he might not feel safe carry- ing so much money. J. A, O'Brien put forward the suggestion that it be allowed to journey back to Pe- terborough in the car with him, since there were two returned sol- diers, a justice 'of the peace, and a Provincial Constable riding in' it. The suggestion brought smiles to everyone in the Court. The money was kept in the hands. . of the mag- istrate. , Of the three cases called in Court. 'only two men wefe present to answer to: the charges against them. When the name of Edgar Sinclair was called, it was pointed lout by Provincial Officer Thompson that the summons for Sinclair kad been left with Chief A, V. Light, Campbeliford, and had not been served. The man, therefore, could not be expected to appear. John Sinclair pleaded guilty, and was allowed to go with a fine of $200, and costs, $304.25 in all. He was charged with owning and operat- ing a still or parts thereof, con- trary to the Inland Revenue Act. The still was located in the Town- ship of Belmont, County of Peter. borough, on Sunday, June 17, 1928. As well as the mechanism and equipment, there was found a quantity of mash partially prepar- ed. Robert Davidson, Belmont Town- ship farmer, appeared as accused in the second case, He was charg- ed under the same act with having a stil] on his property. He plead- ed not guilty, W. F. Huycke, or Peterborough, as counsel for Dav- idson, pointed out to the magis- Felt Bros. 7 he LEADING JEWELERS Established 1886 12 Simcoe St. South trate that the still in question was the same still to which Sinclair had admitted ownership, and also that it was on a very remote sec- tion of the property, and was three miles from the road. He was of the opinion that his client was not aware of its presence. That is was one and the same still would be shown by the evidence of both Davidson and Sinclair. He under- stood that the prosecuting attorney was not anxious for a conviction under these circumstances. J. A. O'Brien, for the prosecu- tion, agreed that Mr. Huyke had stated the case fairly and did not think it fair and just to proceed against Davidson under the pres- ent charge. He was willing to con- sent with the withdrawal of the charge, subject to the approval of the Department, and with the un- derstanding that a mew charge might be. laid by the Department under Section 176F, if the Depart- ment so desired. Edgar Sinclair was called, bat Officer Thompson informed the bench that the summons had not been served, and the case was laid over. John Sinclair paid his money into Court and the session was at an end.
