On July 5th., Crown Attorney Wilson wrote Constable Down its follow's: "I under- stand that you have indicated to Mr. Tudor of Thedford, that you purpose laying some information against- him in respect to, some gin and liquor at his, home in Thedford. From .corres- pondence which has been placed be- fore me by the,. license inspector for East Larnbton 1 am 'satisfied that Mr. Tudor is not in a position to,warrant you taking any action against hist.; re- Specting thi(gin.

"Constable Down asked his aud- ience where Crown Attorney Wilson, got his inforthation. • "Certainly not from me, nor from Constable Metcalfe, who accompanied me when the liquor was deized," he answered. ' "Why.didn't:he ask the enforcement officers for information?" .added the constable, amidst applause. Here Con- stable Down cited a letter from Crown Attorney Wilson to Magis- 'frate'lamprnan of . 'Larribton, dated July 7th, stating that he had been in- formed that information• had been laid in the Tudor liquor case and the date of trial set, and telling Magis- trate Larnpman fhat his information was that the 'liquor was for medicinal purposes and that the license board at\ Toronto Was acquainted with the facts of the Case, and ,that the proyin-' dal license coininisSion did not desire prosecution, and if 'fine Was levied' the. magistrate it would ,be remit- ta Tudor, Here Constable wit pointed:out again that no one d yet asked ,hint for any informa. nand there, was a "nigger in the ee," Here letter was read from, Collinsot ebnunissioner, TbroottS, Crown • AttornWilson, ey Sarnia, ting that the prosecutiOn be with - Its Withdrawal wn. s9l4 9 v e r•§7,50,000 Ina , • bonds. .
