"These functionaries, no doubt; did their duty, aml we have no feeling of mkindnews against them.

"We have implicit belief in the in- tegrity 'of Constable Timmerman, but we are satisfied that he was mistaken in his count, and anybody who has tried to count sixty marbles placed dosely but irregularly together will realize the practical impossibility of making a correct count even under the nist' favorable ciroumstance, while in he semidarkness of a theatorium among long and short people the im wssibility would be still more im- sossible, : "We do not believe that there were 9 people standing behind the seats of fie Bilow, and as a matter of fact three employees 'of the Bijou under sath estimated the number standing ws from 25 to 35. "We are prepared to wiivaics many easons why this law is not properly pplicable tp store shows, and -- other easons why the assemblage of people ehind the chairs was in no sense a source of dangeri but we are satisfies with the one simple showing that we had exits under the by-law for 500 pedple, while, even accepting Mr. Tim- merman's count, there were only 210 eople inside the doors." by | have it exits have no: Bemoving to Saskatchewan.
