.MO.-hRGW. J. In this case I take the same viev/ as the Justice of I the Peace, that it is r.ot i\ de^irt^ble situation for a person to cake liquor avnliable to teenagers, and in this case to a juvenile. There i;̂ no question about it, tĥ it this is one of the cciuses of so r::uch crime and oociil difflcidty in this area. If the Ordinance did not \vx\'Q its confused wording I v;ould feel that I should nalntain the same penaltyv nnd sentence.^ as was given by the Justice of the Peace.
Kowover, there is an inconelsteocy in the way the Ordinance is worded on penalties, end in̂ :̂ H3 Qudtin v ^ Itsi^/^unreported), Vx. Justice Sissons, fonner Judge of thia Court, wrote a Judgment in vhich he decided that-̂ 'the general penalty provision\Qnl7 applied in this type of c:xse. Instead of $100;^0^therefore 4t v/ould be a cvixinuD of ^^OiQQ-,

lir, Chalifoux, st-nnd up. You ore just lucky that there wau a raist.uke in the IDW, or it would h^ve stayed at $100,^0-— and thirty d.iys in each c^se. You must buck up, or you will be back here again. Do you understand?
