The stu- dents will also have to make good the damage dome to the reporter's clothing. Mr. King stated that when the case was before the court last week, he had entered a plea of 'not guilty" and had asked for further particulars about the - charge. He had consulted with Mr. Rigney, crown attorney, and had found that the charge came under section 297 B "with intent to seize and interfere with liberty." He now asked leave to £nagging the plea of "not guilty" to one "guilty." "In all four cases?" Rigney. "Yes," replied Mr. King. In his address to the magistrate, Mr: King stated that the students | admitted a technical offence in hav- ing taken the law in their own hands. The students admitted that théy did wrong. He understood, how- ever, that mo violence had been shown towards the plaintiff and he believed this to be true. Mr. King then went on to tell what he believed had been the cause of the trouble and intimated that a report had beén sent out of the city criticising dances at the college. As a result of something which had occurred, these four students had taken the-matter into their own hands and had taken the plaintiff before a college court In pleading guilty to the charge, Mr. King stated that he wanted to point out that the accused had been invited to go to 'he college court and he went without violence. He was submitted to a trial in the gympasium and the trial took place without violence. And as a result of the trial no penalty had been imposed. The plaintiff had merely suffered the indignity of a t 'al at the hands of the students. In hdlding this trial the students had merely carried out the college tra- dition. The mistake the students had made was in going outside of their own college. The plaintiff was not a graduate of the college; if so he might not have taken the matter so seriously. Here the magistrate interrupted to point out that the police and not the plaintiff had taken action in the odse. Mr. King asked the magistrate to impose a fine rather than a- more severe penalty and also suggested suspended sentence. "It was nothing more than a col- lege prank carried on in the inter- ests of what they thought was right,' added Mr. King. queried Mr. ed out that the charge the students had pleaded guilty to was very ser- jous. It must be brought home to the student body that whatéver lib- erties they took among themselves could not be taken outside of their body. The students had transgress- ed in assuming to take the law in their own hands. In this case the citizen who looked for the protec tion of the law. It had been stated that the students were but perform- ing a duty of their Alma Mater but he wished to repudiate this. Mr Rigney stated that he had the same Alma Mater and' if the traditions of his Alma Mater upheld such a thing as tis, it was time it was eradicated. Such a thing as this would not be tolerated.in this eity. Mr. Rigney also referred to the af- fair as 'Ku Klu Kian methods." Mr. Rigney commented 'on the wisdom of counsel changing the plea of the students to one of '"'guilty" and also referred to the fact that the plaintiff wad suffered damage to his clothing. This would also have to be taken into consideration. : Makistrate Farrell, in impdsing sentence, stated that the matter had beén gone into thoroughly, not only by the crown but also by the coun- sel for the students. The students found themselves in a most unfort- unate position. Certain things were done in a University by tradition. Students submitted to certain' things and they too might take objection. While certain things were done in university circles the moment the students went outside their own cir- cle they transgressed. The students were not above the civil law. 'Students submitted to certain and they too might take objection. While certain things were done in univers sity circles the moment the students went outsifle their own circle they transgressed. The students were not above the civil law. "I do not think that this case can be met by suspended sentence. The seriousness of the case must be braught home, not only to you but to anyone involved in it and it must not be tolerated.

Queen's stands as high fn the conduct of social functions as it does in acade- 'nlic affairs generally. Its social festivities are under the patron- age of the senate, the wives of the staff and the student body and these are the best in the land." LOCAL N NEWS.
