Frank Hammond appeared for the Department. He said there was no legal justi-catjon for the traffic which led to the still. The spot was a bog` hole and unsuitable for farming. Lowe was the near- est resident and had previous con- victions against him. Answering [the contention that Officer Ken- dall had no jurisdiction in West Gwilliniburv, Mr. Hammond said Mr. Kendall was Revenue Officer for Barrie by reason of an Act of Parliament and that his territory included West Gwillimbury or other sections of the Dominion.
