When Crown Attorney Bush - field announced the end of his case, Mr. Bell asked the judge for a ten-minute recess in which to confer with crown counsel. In 10 minutes plus an hour he returned to announce the guilty plea. He pointed out that the judge had power to impose a fine in lieu of im- prisonment. Must be exemplary His honor concurred, but. emphasized that in the circum- stances a fine must be exem- plary to deter others from similar conduct, In addressing Mr. Steeper, he told him be was "a very fortunate man in the attitude taken by Crown camel," "It is only by the grace of God," he said, "you do not urse a Victoria Hospital, Lon d o n; Provincial Constables George Mitchell and Cecil Gibbons, both of Exeter detachment.

She assisted him to take a cup of , coffee, at which time his eyes were "staring and glassy, look- ing right through me". The witness did not recall Steeper saying anything.

But when Crown Attorney Bushfield stated the material was not incriminating, and Mr. Bell, who had seen a copy, agreed that it did not pre- judice his client, Judge Fing- land allowed the statement to be placed upon the record. Appeared irrational Constable Mitchell in cross- examination te stif i ed that Steeper on waking from sleep had appeared irrational, but gradually improved. The ac- cused was not drunk at that time, but there were indica- tions of previous drinking. On the return of counsel to court after 70 minutes of con- sultation, Mr. Bell said: "Your honor, I have had an oppor- tunity of speaking to the crown on certain elements in this case which indicate the accused may not be guilty of all the elements contained in count one.
