"WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1931 THE FLESHERTON .ADVANCE r y . Rights of Citizens to Arrest The legal ripht of the private citizen to make an arrest is clearly explained In- C. S. Cameron, cx-M.I'.I'.. nml cx- t-ounty crown attorney of Grey county, in an nli!ivss before the Owen Sound Rotary Club. Ir the matte:- if a i iti'/.en making mi immediate arrest without a war- rant, Mr. Cameron said that few people realized their liirht; and still fewer undertook to take the matter in their own har,<^ and make an ar- rest. He explained that durinjy the' night a man could make an arrest j without a win nint for almost any offence that had been committed Against him. During the day a cit- izen may arrest an offender without a warrant on such serious offences as murder, forgery and theft of any considerable amount. The police! ean KO even further than a civilian | and can make an arrest nn almost any kind of a charge without pro- curing p warrant. However, whc-rc- cver possible it is usual to obtain a warrant lu-fore taking action. Mr. Cameron then told of the proceedings which followed tho arrest and ex- 1 plained the jurisdiction of justices of the pcm-e, police magistrates, the county judges and the rights of rppcal. Mi. Cameron sketched briefly thu many duties of a crowp " attorney, some improtant features of which were in advi <ing constables, provin- cial constables and justices of the pi :iv. and in assisting coroners in c<>ndiK-ting investigations in connec- tion with deaths that occur under un- usual circumstances. SpQaking of the average village and township constable, Mr. Cameron s:ii<! that very frequently they do not want lo act, particularly in a case in which a neighbor ur friend H involved. Many of the constables are old men who are not robust and sometimes do not feel capable of taking clwrgc o( a case. They are not on salary, am* receive only fees for the actual ser- vice given. It was to take charge of cases which were not handled by these local officers that the present system of provincial constables hail been arranged and this had worked out very well. In Grey and Bruce there were four provincial officers, one located each at Owen Sound, Men- ford, Wa!ke'-ton and Wiarton. ADVANCE ADS. PAY Continuing our Cash and Carry sale for 10 days only!

DUNCAN HARDW.A.R.E -:- Phone 54 Parliament Opened In Usual Splendor The first regular session of th i seventeenth parliament was c'vncd, despite the absence of the Governor- I General, with all pomp and eireuni- stan e. Booming cannon, shining uni- forms and beautiful gowr ; al! clayed their part. For the ceremony in the Senate chamber were gathered many jef! those prominent in tlia political, | religious, diplomatic and rocial life of Canada. As usual, the Prime II i:i- istrr stood on tho right of ths thionc, I the judges of the Supremo Court in their scarle'j and ermine, sat back to back <m the wool sack immediately | below the throne. On this occasion (the Prime Minister was not resplcn-l 'dent in .trold braid, but wore what is called the civil court dre-.ss, which is brightened only by a row of brass buttons, though other members of the Privy Council wore the Windsor uniform. When all had assembled in the Senate chamber, the Gentleman Usher of the lilack Rod came to tht 1 Common:; and commanded the mem- bers to come to the Senate to hear 'the king's speech. Significant it is that for the first time his majesty's menage which \vas written hy the Piime Minister was read by a Can adian, Rt. Hon. Lyman P. Duff, of the Supreme Court. The speech was long and not a word of it could be heard at the back of the room where the members of Parliament must .stand. The Commoners are not allowed inside the Senate, bat must stand behind the bar, and were cer- tainly a noisy rabble on the day of the opening. The acting Governor-General is a single man. as is al.?o the Prime Minister, the leader of the Opposl tion and the leader of the Farmers group. Of the leaders in tho House only J. S. Woodsworth, head of the small Labour group, actively upholds i he tradition of the family as the bulwark of society. The speech from tru- throne lays the blame or part of the blame for the present economic depression upon world causes and in case thai docs not absorb all the responsibility, Mi. Duff was caused to say, "My Government has explored the origins >f our difficulties and i; firmly of jlhe belief that many of our problems ilo not arise out of world-wide d 1 - oiession, but are antecedent to it; iand that dojnestic factors have al.-'o largely determined the degree of I cvoromij distress from which his country is :;i-ffei ing." Having thus saddled the rcsp.-insiliility of present condition, but was silent about tho MacKen/.io King government, the present administration emerges wear- ing the white rose of a blameless life, The speech claimed the tariff re- Iviaion of last September had improved 'condition, butw as silent about the lulling export trade and the high prices of manufactured product-.; in this country. It claimed also a partial : ure of unemployment and put to it; credit the embargo again?!. /| Hussian goods, but said nothing about All Lines of Furniture and Bedding HAVE DROPPED 8 TO 16% \Vcare J)ashig on this j^ood fortune to you and once more \ve arc offering' you s that mean many dollars of saving to you. 20 to 25 p.c. off Everything in the store lids.
