At the outset of his address, Crown Attorney Hall declared "There is a great popular interest in anything of a criminal nature, as evidenced on such occasions as sensational murder trials or other similar criminal law cases. "While it is commonly assumed that most people 'know the law', that is actually a great fallacy. Our average friend and acquaint- ance knows very little about the intricacies of criminal law," stated the 'speaker. "It's perhaps under- standable since for many. people} their conception of criminal law is obtained in the version of Ameri- can courts, as depicted in the mov- ies and obviously this is not only, likely not a true picture of United States' law courts but is certainly greatly different from Canadian criminal law courts", he added. "The essence of a crime is an act, which is looked upon to be so serious as to be an offence against society, or the people of our land. In all cases, an offence under the Criminal Code is prosecuted in the name of the sovereign power, which in Canada, means that each case is 'somebody' vs. The King." Giving the early background of law courts in Britain, the speaker outlined the changes which have taken place in the prosecution of law. He 1eviewed the progress from the law of "The King's Peace," recalled the 'trial by ordeal" and "trial by subjugation," two methods of trying accused persons two and three centuries ago. The trial by ordeal has two versions, trial by «fire and trial by water. The de- scription of these rather barbar- ous forms of trial made an inter- esting sidelight to the speaker's story. Crown Attorney Hall also out- lined the old time procedure of a grand joy of 26 men, Joes drawn rom all over the ne county or shire, who had cing. originating all prosecutions for the crown, The "petty jury" of 12 men, then prosecuted those cases in which it. was felt sufficient evidence Following through, Crown Attor- ney. Hall reviewed the system of prosecuting the Oriminal Code of- fences in Canada undér the three methods: in a 's Court; before a Judge alone or Judge and jury, in a County Court; and be- fore a Supreme Court. The procedure followed in court was also described by the speaker and in addition, the question of "admissible evidence" was also ex- plained as Crown Attorney Hall de- scribed how the accused is given the benefit of any and every rea- sonable doubt, "Nothing corresponding to force or threats, violence or promises, is permitted when Crown officers are, securing evidence that is to be ac- tually admitted in a trial" the speaker pointed out. "Not only is no statement obtained by these meth- ods admitted in a trial but the Crown must actually prove that any statement given is a voluntary statement," he added. Three Forms of Sentence Describing the three factors that govern the sentence or punishment meted out to a convicted person, the speaker described these as falling into three groups, punishments for purpose of reform, for purpose of prevention, such as putting the prisoner "out of society" for a set period; and punishment as an ex- ample to society. In conclusion the speaker pointed out that one other important duty of the Crown officers is to pro- ceed as the protector of the citizen's property and personal rights' in such a manner that respect for the law is stressed more than fear of the law. \ Hearing of Three Cases Adj ourned Due to the proximity of the Coun.

Yesterday's decision meant that of the 18 originally accused in the espionage cases following the report of a Royal Commission in February, 1946 nine have been acquitted; six have been sen- tenced to prison terms; one has been fined, one is awaiting out- come of an appeal, and one is awaiting trial--Raymond Boyer at Montreal, Mr. Harris was released from Carleton County jail at Ottawa last night by Governor James Forward on receipt of a court order. In the Harris case John J, Ro- binette, K.C., Crown counsel, contended that while the actions of Harris were innocent enough they had to be considered in light of the whole ° picture, whence they became suspect. He mentioned Harris' visits to Otta- wa with Sam Carr, former organ- izer of the Labor-Progressive party, who long has been sought on a federal subpoena in connec- tion with the espionage cases. Chief Justice R. S. Robertson remarked: "You must have some real evidence that he did. some- thing. Evidence of this kind is not evidence against any indivi- dual unless he is already linked in the circle, Theére is no evi- dence that he was connebted with the obtaining of documents." Ont. Won't Meet Grain Commitments Toronto, May 28 (CP).--Agricul- ture Minister Kennedy said in an interview here today that Ontario would not be able to meet grain commitments for overseas ship- ments despite an expenditure by the farmers of some $5,000,000. "We will be lucky if we produce a 75 per cent crop, which means that it will be up to 50 per cent less than our commitments," he said. He recalled that at a provin- cial conference 'with federal auth- orities, Ontario had agreed to in- crease grain production by 25 per cent to help meet the demand to feed Europe's starving peop! |Appearson Charge {Of Keeping Stolen Railway Doors Michael, Lupul, 171 Mitchell Aveiue LTDA in Magistre trate P. 8.

The accused in his own defence stated he lives, just north of the tracks and that these men often throw wood into his yard to save them carrying it away.

After the severe drub- bing the Harmony team had suffer ed at the hands of the Westmount A team a fortnight ago, everybody expected a more or less easy win for the visitors, even though they were playing on a foreign djamond. From the moment however, that Terwillegar got the visitors 1, 2, 3, in the opening frame, until he "fan- ned" the last batter to face him in the seventh inning, it was a dif- ferent story--so different that play- | ers and spectators alike, found the spectacle hard to credit. Gerald Terwillegar again was the main reason for Harmony's win, but there were eight other reasons--be- cause everybody played "heads-up" ball all the game. Special mention should be given to Merv. Worseley, who not only caught his pitcher's offerings flawlessly, but also knock- ed the game's only homer. The score was 16-6 at the end of hostilities in favor of the home team.
