r̂ (Hr. ricConnell and I'lr. Troy hriving addressed the court respec t ive ly on behalf of t he i r c l i e n t s , juditment was given as follows) The Court: Vv'ell , in this case I see nothing excessive under the circumstar.ces I can sec nothing excessive in the sentence imposed by the Justice of the Peace at the that time. I agn. e wi . i this type ol' offence it would emphasis appear that fines are merely putting an economic on something that is already an economic crime, if I can use those words loosely. It is a turning back v.'e must consider, and the police have a difficult time, and the learned Justice of the Peace has felt he must impose a fixie to prevent the continuation of such I offences. The only problem I have here is that v.e are talking about four days and I am wondering if in \iew of the amount that the man has already served, the sixteen days of the thirty, and will in effect be merely put back in for another four days, just what I should do. He has had this hanging over his head, so I think in this case I will allow the appeal to the extent of the time served, but I want to make it clear that it is not a criticism in any way of the original sentence. ^. ,^ I W.G.
