(After addresses on behalf ox the Appellant and Respondent respectively, judgment v/as given as follows) The Court: I will now give my judgment. This is a case where normally had there been any appearance of fear or seriousness of the altercation with the v/ife, I vjould have been inclined to not vary the sentence of the learned Justice of the Peace Milligan. but in viev; of the circumstances as they have been brought out, and the parties are back together, and i where the Vv'ife was not sufficiently worried about the problem. I am going to vary the sentence in each case to the extent that the sentence of thirty days be the time served arid there will be a fine of one hundred dollars on each charge, and failing payment, two weeks in gaoi, or in-default of payment, - how soon can he pay, Mr. McConnell? Mr. McConnell: I think he can pay fairly quickly. The Court: Well, I think as a precaution I will give him I forty-five days to pay. The Gou.r-t: f k^

5 /a Now Mr. McConnell, is there any reason vihy we shouldji't make an. order as to the destruction of the firearm? Mr. McConnell: No objection to that. My Lord. The Court: The firearm to be left with the RCMP, and destroyed in accordance v;ith the Criminal Code.
