CEMETERY END-OWMENTS OF , - $2600 BOUGHT LASTIYEAR 1 1 I 1 I Following the action of the Barrie Union Cemetery Company a year ago in making a reduction in the cost of endowments, the secretary-treasurer was able to report at the meeting on Monday night that during the year $2600 worth "of endowments had been purchased. This is a phenomenal in- crease over that of other `years. Apart from presentation of the n- ancial statement and election of dir- ectors. there was little business be- fore the meeting. The treasurer s report showed re- ceipts of $3432.02 and disbursements of $2854.17, leaving a balance of $577.85. Receipts in the endowment fund were $3862.37. Of this amount $2700 was invested in bonds and there is a balance of $1035 on hand. -1--J--J cvvnnnn 'KX7v-an P11c1( IS 3 UHIGIIUC VJ. q);\(uu V .........V Directors elected were Wm. Rusk,` Dr. H.

The charge against Goldman was for buying muskrat skins out of sea- son without a permit, and he was con- victed and ned $40. He was the only one of the three to plead "not guilty. Stewart Donaldson, called by the prosecution, stated that about six weeks ago he trapped eighteen musk- rats and later sold the pelts to Gold- man, who paid cash for them. Houn- some told the court that Goldman gave him the skins and asked him to keep them for him. _ He. had driven Goldman to `Donaldson s house when he bought the skins.

A great deal of interest was manifested in the cases at the time of the- hearingand the court room was lled with spectators at each sitting. ~ Stephens and Lahay Cases` The Stephens and Lahay appeals are dealt with by Judge Vance in one judgment, in which he goes into the evidence thoroughly.

Mr. Sarvis, one of the Provincial inspectors in the Depart- ment, gave evidence as to the em- loyment of thesetwo men and as-to ' ow the analysis was `brought about. `g It might be noted herefthat the ;t_ purchase of the bottle was made on `-C Feb. 14, and accordingto Mr. Sarvis, H be got the bottle from Bradbury and 1 1` Coughlin, or it cameto -his office on the 17th or 18th. The certicate o '- the analyst says that it was received ,( on the 19th. Mr. Sarvis did not take ll the bottle to the analyst himself. It 1] was not analyzed until Feb. 26 and i_1 the certicate is dated Mar. 3. These 1 facts proven by Mr. 'Sarvis seem to be -1 about the same as the facts proven= in the Hayes case (55 0.L.R. 635), and in that case it was held by the Court of Appeal that there was no evidence of an illegial sale and on that alone conviction was quashed. There was the usual strong attack onbehalf of the defendants on the "reliability of the evidence given by the two special officers, ' generally called spotters. According to the ev- idence of the two special officers, La- hay took them out to Stephens place Lahay says that they phoned hiin that they wanted to go out. , At any rate, Lahay apparently saw them here in Barrie on Saturday afternoon, the -14th, and Lahay says that one of the officers said` that he wanted to go out to see Stephens to sell him some commercial stocks or bonds. f'_1`he of- cers saythat they wanted a drink of liquor and that they had some "talk ..t.....+ kn.v1'na' 9. auantity of liquor, on theafternoon of Feb. 14. 1925.\ % wmc and that may nuq auuu: W... about buying 9. quantity liquor,| some gallons. `At any rate, Lahay, who is Stephens hired man. came inl and drove the two special officers out to `Stephens place about six miles out of Barrie, and the officers say that while there they got their sup-` gar. for which they paid $1.00 ~ and etweens them theygot six` drinks from Lahay. for which they paid $3 to Lahay: They got from Lahay the bottle from which the six drinks had been taken, for which bottle they paid L_aha3_$_3.0`0.
