North' PHONE 235-1582 EMI Complete text on justice probe present Crown attorney assumed office, This is not true, It is true that there have been no convictions for murder during this period; the only two murder trials having resulted in acquittals. However, there have been convictions for at- tempted murder and being an accessory after the fact to mur- der. There have also been con- victions for criminal negligence causing death and for rape, Another alleged murder was disposed of in juvenile court af- ter the Crown attorney attemp- ted unsuccessfully to move it into the Supreme Court. Huron county certainly is not a high crime area, Mr. Speaker, and I think the local Crown at- torney and the provincial court judge, along with most of the local law enforcement agencies, can claim credit for this. Whatever problems may exist do so on a local law enfor- cement level and are not the result of undue leniency in the courts. The local Crown attorney at all times stands between the LOOK FOR THE BIG ORANGE BUILDING police and the public. He ad- vises the police concerning the laying of charges as well as about other matters. However, when he, as a law officer of the Crown, encounters, case where the charge laid by the police is not supported by the evidence, it is his duty - and I underline that, Mr. Speaker - it is his duty to see that the ac- cused is not convicted of that charge. So far as I have been able to determine, that is all the local Crown attorney in Huron county has done, Mr. Gaunt: A supplementary, Mr, Speaker: Would the Attor- ney General consider that a 14- month delay is normal? Hon. Mr, Welch: Mr. Speaker, I am quite satisfied - and I know the hon. member has been kind enough to give me particulars without in- volving any people - following a very extensive review of all of these matters and other mat- ters over the weekend, that there is no justification for an inquiry into the administration of justice in Huron county. Clinton Legion gives $ 900 to local clubs BY GEORGE CAMPBELL The following is the complete text, of what took place last week, Monday, November 18 in the Ontario Legislature when Murray Gaunt, MPP for Huron-Bruce asked questions of Hon, Robert Welch, Attorney General, regarding an in- vestigation into the ad- ministration of justice in Huron County: Mr, Gaunt: Mr. Speaker, I have a question of the Attorney General: In view of the fact that plea bargaining might be delayed and lenient sentences appear to have got out of hand in Huron county, would the At- torney General institute an inquiry into the administration of justice in the county? Interjections by hon. mem- bers. Hon. R. Welch (Provincial Secretary for Justice and Attor- ney General): Mr. Speaker, the members for Huron-Bruce and Huron (Mr. Riddell) raised this question in the House two or three weeks ago, and indeed have been kind enough to discuss some details with me by way of notice. Indeed, as well, three newspaper clippings concerning the administration of justice in the county have been brought to my attention and have in- dicated the concern of those particular journals with respect to an inquiry as well. The member for Huron- Bruce, as recently as Friday, did furnish me with particulars concerning four specific in- cidents which are said to reflect the need for the inquiry to which he made reference. If I could have permission, I would like at this time just to make a brief response. I have examined these allegations and I have obtained a full report concerning the administration of justice in Huron county. Both the local Crown attorney and the local provincial court judge are able and experienced men. They have served well in their respective capacities for a number of years, I have found nothing in their conduct to sup- port any request for such an inquiry. I don't find, as a matter of fact, that there has been any undue leniency in the disposition of cases by the court or that the court has failed to support its law enforcement of- ficers. Two of the specific in- cidences to which reference was made by the member for Huron-Bruce, were cases in which the Crown attorney quite properly withdrew charges, because there was no evidence to support those charges. Another incident involved charges of theft, possession and assault against three persons, in which one person only was convicted of one charge of assault. In this case there was no evidence to support the charges of theft and possession, and no evidence to support the assault charge against two defendants who were acquitted. The fourth incident concerns a matter in juvenile court arising from a fire which resulted in damage of about $30,000. That matter has not yet been disposed of and the juvenile involved is presently a patient in the Goderich psychiatric hospital. The Crown attorney is alleged to have, said that the matter was not worth pursuing; I am assured that he made no such remark. It has also been alleged there have been no convictions in the Supreme Court since the Maitland and 16th BY MILLIE LOBS Children's Aid at Goderich to help make Christmas happier for the less fortunate. The December meeting will be held at Margaret Farquhar's home. Mernbersiil_exclia.nge,,, Christi*, gifts, The meeting was cloSet1 thd' M4pah Benediction.

Marilyn Forbes, the resident, opened the meeting in the usual way. The secretary Marlene Forbes read the minutes of the October meeting. Roll call was answered by 16 members with "Your favourite small electric appliance". The treasurer's report showed a nice but dwindling balance of cash. The members decided to give $10 to the they too, remember. The poppy drive on Nov. 4 was very well accepted by the citizens of Clinton and vicinity. The Branch thanks all mem- bers, ordinary, affiliate, and associate for a job well done on the canvass. The church parade Nov. 10 was well attended and we thank Rev. E. Nelson for a fine service and the welcome given to the Branch by the Presbyterian church. November 11 proved to be one of the best "Remembrance Day" programs we , have had for some time. The weatherman was kind to us and the atten- dance at both the service in the hall and the parade was something to be proud of. Thank you citizens and mem- bers for remembering Remem- brance Day. Did you notice the Girl Guides in the colour party? Good eh. Minor sports in Clinton is one "way we' have of helping lit- tle people become big people and Branch 140 is proud to assist this year with a donation of $700 to Minor Hockey.

The Branch is very pleased to welcome all sons and daughters as associates. Guest at the October meeting was' Zone Commander Harold Chambers of Goderich, Harold takes time to attend meetings of the various Branches in the Zone and had the privilege of presenting 25 year pins at this meeting.
