12 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, June 17, 1953 Many Interesting Facts About Court People who attend police court sessions with any degree of fre- quency are bound to wonder soon- er or later what the meaning is of the term 'and costs" which is usually appended by the magis- trate to any fine or jail sentence. Court costs vary for different kinds of cases. For the average convictions on drunkenness or speeding, to take examples at ran- dom, the penalty is usually '$10 and costs or 10 days." If the ac- cused cannot pay the fine and court costs, the law says he must take the alternative, 10- days in county jail. HOW COSTS LEVIED However, if durance vile does not suit his mood, and he has the required coin of the realm, he finds that, in addition to' the $10 fine, court costs include $2 to the magistrate, $1.50 to the justice of the peace who made out the in- formations and warrants, and $2 to the court reporter who records the facts of the case for future reference, totalling an extra $5.50. If it's a criminal case, in which the services of the crown attorney are required, his fee is $12. But these fees do not go directly to the aforementioned officials. The province - takes two-fifths of the court's receipts in fines and costs to reimburse it, and the rest is devoted to office expenses of the court clerk. So, if the minimum fine is im- posed in any case which comes under the criminal code, it can sometimes happen that the costs will total more than the actual fine. This is usually due to witness fees. Didn't you know about them? WITNESS FEES Witnesses, either for the crown or for the defendant, are paid a basic $3 a day for appearing in court, plus eight cents a mile if they drive from out-of-town, If they come by public vehicle, other than taxi, they are allowed their return fare for a distance up to a maxi- mum of 200 miles. The reasoning is that, if the distance is greater than that, the witness could not normally arrive in time for the 10 a.m. session of court. If the case drags on for several days, out-of-town witnesses are al- so allowed hotel expenses. In cases where witnesses are appearing on behalf of friemds or relatives, they sometimes waive their fees and expense money. You might have wondered, also, what the Phrage '"'ex parte" means, when tac! paper reports. This merely declares that the accused was not present to hear the sentence of the court. He is penalized "in absentia."" But he will hear about it by mail. 'The ordinary procedure is to send a mail summons in non-crim- inal cases. Then, if that is ignor- ed, the second summons is served personally by a police officer. (That is the meaning of the "Adjourned for service' intoned by the mag- istrate, when lists of parking and speeding offenders are reeled off by the court reporter every morn- ing.) If the offender does not appear after the second summons, his charge is read out in court, evi- dence given by the particular po- lice officer involved, proof of serv- ice is given, and the ex parte sen- tence usually follows. If it is a jail term, a bench warrant is issu- ed in the name of the accused. But that is generally for a crimin- al offense, in which the summons must be served personally. USE DIFFERENT COLORS To keep all this paper work fair- ly simplified (or less confused) dif- ferent colors are used for individu- al documents. Yellow indicates the speeder, pink the "provincial" speeder, and green the parking meter offender. Witness summons come in white, but when you get a blue one, by personal service, it's time to perk up. You're due in court for some offence. If you have not bothered to ap- pear in court to answer your traf- fic charge, and have been fined {ex parte, you will receive a little {blue letter from the court clerk's | cafice which reads: "Sir -- I am {instructed to inform you that un- | less the fine and costs imposed up- on you in the above named court on such-and-such a date, amount- ing to So Many dollars be paid on or before this date (a week's grace is allowed), a warrant com- mitting you to gaol will be 'issued. Govern yourself accordingly." The little blue letter usually brings results. . But, if you wish to plead guilty to a particular offense, and avoid a court appearance, the summons is usually stamped with the amount of the appropriate fine and costs, which in this case include only the JP's fee of $1.50. Many people pre- fer to settle it that way.

News U.S. Bmbassador Worked At Peterboro By DOUGLAS HOW Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP)--A 67-year-old diplomatic novice who once worked in a Canadian factory for .17% cents an hour is coming back to Canada to work as American am- bassador, a job which pays some- what more than that. And work, says Robert Douglas Stuart, is just what he intends to do in this country where his father was born and his grandfather was ship- wrecked. He met the press Tuesday dur- ing a brief visit to prepare for his arrival to stay in July and he im- pressed them, not sq much by what he said but hi§ plan and pleasant manner and his absence of facade. The reporters tried hard to draw him out on such contentious mat- ters as the St. Lawrence seaway and the possibility of an upsurge of tariffs under a Republican ad- ministration he actively helped They elect as party treasurer. didn't get far. On the seaway, Mr. Stuart said "all I can say is that generally I believe in the development of waterways all over this continent." On the tariff question, he found them coming at him from the front and both flanks. As a Republican or as an ambassador or as a bus- iness man--president of Quaker Oats Co.--what did he think of the tariff situation This, said Mr. Stuart, is no time for him to start talking about that. His connections with Canada are lifelong and intimate. His grand-| father, a Scqt, was shipwrecked on | the coast of Newfoundland years! ago and made his way eventually | to Embro, Ont., near Woodstock. | Douglas Stuart's father was born| there and migrated from here to Glencoe, Ill, where the ambas- sador was born. When he started out with Quaker Oats in 1906 they sent him to Can- ada to work in the Peterborough | plant for 17'2 cents an hour. After | six months he got a raise and then went to Saskatoon. NEW POLICE CHIEF CAMPBELLFORD (CP)--Char- les M. Lockwood, 31, of Belleville has been appointed chief of police of this town, 30 miles east of Pet- erborough.

Mr. Lockwood, who fakes over his new duties June 22, served with the Canadian Provost Corps for three years and for the past six years has been on the Belleville police force.

Di H if Americans against closing border to Canadian agricultural products was delivered by John By PATRICK NICHOLSON TORONTO--A timely Warning to eir iefenbaker in the recent Town all series in New York. Agriculture may not have the glamour of our newly developing mineral industries, he pointed out, but the value of goods: produced by our farms exceeds the riches from our mines and oilwells by more than two to one. Today our wheatfields produce sufficient to give cakes as well as bread to 200,000,000 people. means that foreign markets must be found for nine out of every ten bushels of wheat grown in Canada. That Similar surpluses of cheese, pork, apples, salmon and many other foods could be produced in Canada the hungry people of the world could afford to buy them. All these farm products except wheat have suffered the loss of the British market, told his audience, because Britain has not got dollars to pay for them.

This would not only raise the standard of living in Canada and in the States it would Warns U.S. Against Closing of Border enable these two countries to fill the hungry stomachs of people all over the world who stand against communism, but who cannot stand unless they are strong in body. Hunger breeds communism and farms must be one of the free world's most powerful weapons in the expected long Cold War. Building up his point in this way, Mr. Diefenbaker urged that quotas and restrictions should not be al- lowed to stop our agricultural prod- uce at the international border. "Farm markets in the United States for Canadian farm products will go far to enable Canada to maintain its agricultural produc- tive plant in these twilight days of peace, and at the same time assure that should the curse of war again be brought upon us, Canada's agri- cultural production will be one of the most effective elements in an all-out and full mobilization for survival." FRIEND TO FARMERS The value of our army, our air force, our shipyards and our arms plants has often been praised. It is fitting that the primary impor- tance of food be understood, for as Napoleon said, an army march- es on its stomach. In urging adequate floor prices, sufficient markets and land preser- vation schemes on a national scale, Mr. Diefenbaker showed himself to be not only 'The Voice of Saskat- chewan" on our national scene but also a very understanding and help- ful friend to our farmers in every province. rama AAA RTI Ga lt Sos ro ENB i HAYDON MRS.
