'I'I+c very fact that the prosecuting counsel objected to the evidence gong on the record give color to the cott- tention of the appellant's counsel that (,roasts and his companions wore granted immunity to induce them to give evidence against Hawthorne. The appellant who gave evidence in his own behalf denies that he sold or supplied any liquo to Grealis or W an 3" of his companions and says that he ',AILS not at the Commercial i-Iotel nor in the town of Seaforth on Sun- day the 24th of September, at the time Grealis, Connell, Cole and Lockhart were there: Appellant say's that ire left the hotel and went away fro'nl Seaforth at 9 or 9:30 in the foreno to of that clay, and did not return to the hotel until about 6 :o'clock p.m,. and his evidence is supported by many re- spectable and reputable witnesses, but 1 will deal with the evidence for rhe ;appellant later, (,resits '; the only witness who says t. that the ligltor was proctored front Hawthorne Or that 1•Tawthurile solid liquor to hint or to any of his Harty, anis 1 have already referred to his e,n- rirnee a; to how he procured the cyan' from 11awt lio'r•te and a$ to his ident- ity of.

Both of thele say that Tlaw-thoruc was away from the hotel not say that he saw Hawthorne. He agrees with Connell and Cole that it was Grealis who brought the bottles into the car. He is pot asked what the bottles contained nor what effect the liquor had upon hint. Theta the only other evidence for the prosecution is that of Inspectors fellow and Constables Welsh and Gillespie, and there is nothing in the evidence of these three witttesse: which assists in any way- in the adjud- o w kation except to show that Pellow 'fiat c 1 for the Commercial searched liquor and failed to find any which supports the evidence of the appellant and the proprietor of the hotel, Mr. Dungey, that no liquor was permitted in the hotel and that none was sold by either of tlaent. The Magistrate states that there is no evidence do show that any other •than Hawthorne, who was the bar- tender, was seen at the Commercial Hotel on the afternoon of the 24t1t of September, 1922: Is lie not again straining the evidence to stake out a case against Hawthorne? A number of witnesses testified that Hawthorne was not in the Hotel. on the 24th of September. 1922, from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and there is no evidence beyond that of Grealis and his companions to support the finding of the Magistrate that 110 other person was seen at the Commercial Hotel On the afternoon in question. Did it not occur to the Magistrate that the prosecution had failed 0, produce one reputable wit- ness e sl • `o show thatTiawthurnt was at the hotel that afternoon?

They had supper about 5:30 p.m, Elmer Reid, the chef, gave evidence and deposed that he was in Stratford on Sunday the 24th of September 1922.

Miss Spears says that the chef was absent the same Sunday. The Magistrate arbitrarily brushes all this evidence aside with the single tonuucnt that "the ease is entirely founded on a matter of memory and memory at the best is defectivs.es- pecially as to what actually Rapp un a certain date as against positive evidence for the _prosecution.' 'lie does not point to any discrepancy In tate evidence of any of the numerous witnesses called for the defence all apparently respectable and reputable persons. 1:14 gives no reason for "e- jecting the evidence of any one of then, 1 venture to say, that ninety per courtstlis t. cf the fottnded evidence p011 memoriven y our Ile does not point out wherein the men,- :ory of any of the w itn.esses is defect- ive. l have examined their evidence with the greatest care, and have failed to ling a single discrepancy or contra- diction itl'tinny part of it, It is incom- prehensible that these eleven wit- nesses, against whose character and credibility not a reflection has beeit cast, are all perjtfi'ers. Counsel for the prosecution very frankly stated that he had nothing to say, against the witnesses called to prove the alibi. Why then does the Magistrate ignore the very positive evidence given by a ll of thein. Surely, not because of any (l erect in the memory of any one of them because their statements in every casewhere they speak from memory or recollection, are, on their face, truthful, and are corroborated •beyond any possibility of mistake.
