K. McCombe and R. N. Williams, had testified that in their opinion Forget, who is on trial for manslaughter, was drunk.

He added, however: "I am not saying the man was drunk. I thought maybe he had a few drinks, which is strictly against the rules." Dr. J. O. Ruddy, who took the blood sample several hours after the accident, said the accused's conduct appeared normal at that time. "I am not saying he was intoxi- cated," the doctor testified. In an hour.long -address to the jury, Mr. Greer appealed for a ver. dict of not guilty, submitting that there was not sufficient evidence to warrant a conviction. Regarding the contention that the d was intoxicated, Mr, Greer contended that the crown's case was "woefully weak" on this point. He stressed that Constable Robertson, an experienced officer, had not con. sidered the accused drunk, nor had the doctor who took the blood sample. He pointed out also that in his evidence at the preliminary hearing Constable McCombe had not said that he definitely thought Forget to be drunk at the time. As for Professor Rogers' evidence, Mr. Greer contended that the re- sults of a blood test should be co. related with the person's actions and 'appearance at the time the test was taken, He urged that the effect of alcohol varied with differ. ent persons, Crown Attorney A.
