GRIFFIS, Druggist The Rexall Store To the Editor of The Colborne Ex-Much; apppears to be said in the columns of your paper this week, and other county papers, on the Allen B.O.T.A. case and which is somewhat misleading. The conviction against Allen was not quashed; it stands against him; but the fine is said to hsave been re-mlitted on application of the License When the appeal was before the Board, the Board said according to the evidence the magistrate was perfectly justified in making the conviction and they could not see how he could do otherwise. The Board would recommend that the fine be remitted provided Allen furnish more evidence to strengthen his case. The complaint was laid in the regular way under section 125 (a) and the case hung and swung on the one section only; the complaint was not changed; it was confined to that one section of the Act. At the hearing in the Police Court an adjournment was made, giving Allen time to bring forth his witnesses or evidence that he had. He brought none. Allen was convicted of a breach of the Ontario Temperance Act and the minimum penalty imposed. The verdict stands. The fine may have been returned, but that is a rriatter only of dollars and cents. The law is for all people--high or low, rich or poor, churchman or non-churchman. As your article is somewhat mis-eading and casts reflections on the dministration of the law, I make this explanation to your people. W. H. FLOYD, Polce Magistrate, Cobourg. SHILOH r. Geo.
