By General Williams, Commissioner of Police for Ontario. General Victor Williams, Commis- been offered for sale at the bazaar, stoner, Ontario Police, line issued the mid also until it becomes reasonably following interpretation et the law of clear that the articles will not he sold Canada regarding raffles at bazaars, in the ordinary course—that is to say, for religious or charitable objects, and the raffle should conte at or totvar4 instructions to the police authorities. the end of the event, To begin selling As there is widespread inlsuiider- tickets for the raffle as soon as, or standing regarding these matters it is shortly after, the bazaar opens, would, well to note carefully what the law is. in the opinion of the law officers, be General Williams says: contrary to the spirit, if not to the lets "In view of requests that comp from ter of the law. time to time to this department from "It is to be presented that persons charitable organizations for permis• who conduct bazaars for charitable lion to hold raffles, it seems necessary or religious purposes will want to obey both the spirit and letter of the law, and if their attention is called to the matter they will no doubt conform to •tike suggestion of an officer that no raffling should take place, even where permission iris been given by the municipal authorities, until it is rea- csauably clear that the articles will not be sold at the bazaar is the ordinary course. "I am informed that it is net an un- usual practice to sell ticltets for ar- ticles to be raffled at bazaars days or even weeks in advance of the event. This is obviously entirely imaropeer, and where anythiug of that trend is at- tempted the parties ought to ba warn- ed. and if they persist prosecutions should follow. 'The second condition Is that no articles must be of a value greater tlien siio.00. "In view of the want of mrderstand- in„ of the law on the sttbje t, and the obvious need of keeping the exception to the wholesome provision of the law against lotteries within proper limits, it is desired that police officers will take especial precautions to face tbat the law as above ciellnen is observed. "Upon learning of an intended bazaar, with the ascan auying raffle, the officer's duty will be to ucertafn whether permission has been granted by the local authorities. If so, he will then Inquire whether the object is charitable or religious. If in doubt on. either of these points, he will confer with the County Crown Attorney. If satisiled ou both these points, the offi- cer ought then to see the malingers of the affair and explain the law to them. It is unseemly that persons desiring to raise money for religious or charit- able purposes should be hailed to Court tor breaches orf the law, and the officer will Probably find in almost every ease a desire to comply with the law. In the event, however, of the law being disregarded, the officer's duty will be to watch the proceedings at the bazaar carefully, take note of the facts, and then confer with the County Crown Attorney as to what proceedings ought to be taken. "While this letter is an instruction to the officers of the Ontario Provin- cial Police, it will be sent as informa- tion to the Chiefs of Police and High Constables throughout the Province." to again call the attention of police of freers and of the muniipal authorities and the public generally, to the pro- visions of the law. "Section 23d of the Criminal Code prohibits lotteries, with an exception it `los h are a form in favor at raffles (oohsc of lottery) for religious or charitable purposes, The exception is in the fol.' lowing terms: "Raffles for prizes of small ankle at any bazaar, field for any charttable or religious object, if permission to hold sante has been obtained from the city or other municipal council, or Frohn the Mayor, Iteevo er other chief offi- cer of the city, town or other munici- pality wherein suck bazaar is held, and the articles raffled for thereat nave first been offered for eels and none of tlhenhm are of a value e;:eeoding fifty dollars." "It will be observed that the Detente - sten referred to in the sub -section is not that of the AtterueyGeneral or the police authorities, It is the per- mission of the municipal author,tes, the theory apparently being that if there is a strong local sentiment against that sort of thing the permis- sion will not be granted. At all events, the responsibility is on the Mayor or Reeve er Municipal Council. These authorities have an absolute discretion. They can grant peranis• siert or they can refuse it. "It will be further observed that the permission is confined to bazaars, and to bazaars that are being held for a "charitable or religious object," If Permission should be granted by a municipality or municipal authority for an object tbat is not within the description of these words the per- mission would be ineffective, and the general prohibition would apply. "Then if permission has been pro- perly obtained, pursuant to the pro- visions at the statute, it will be ob- served that there are two ether eon- ditions: "The first coedition is that the arti- cles before being raffled must first have been offered for sale. In the opinion of the law officers" 01 the At- torney -General's Department the in- tention of Parliament, whatever the technical interpretation may be, was that the raffling should not take place i until the articles to be raffled have Willing to Oblige.
