J. Swanson, representing Fialka, were that the police entered the residence of Fialka and foun liquor which had been illegally pur- chased. The défendant, Fialka went in the witness box and denied owner- ship, denied possession or knowledge of the liquor in any way, said that there was no liquor owned by him in the house or being there with his knowledge and consent and that he warned his roomers not to bring any liquor in the house. vehip ; John Polinski was called and said the liquor belonged to him; that he had taken it into the house without Fialka's knowledge and against his consent, and that Fialka knew noth- ing about it. Magistrate Hind in making the judgment said that he disbelieved the witnesses for the defence . Defence Argument Mr. Swanson argued that the Magistrate had no right to make a sweeping assertion that the matters which had been sworn to and which were admitted good evidence were to be given no weight and that the wit- nesses were to be dishelieved, where they were not contradicted or broken down in any way in examination, Mr, Swanson cited a number of cases argued that the law was set- tled, "It may be that the Judge dis- believed the witnesses; but no grat tribunal simply because it dishelieves witness or set of witnesses, has the dant to find as proved the opposite of what is sworn to." Not Evidence : J. A. McGibhon for the Crown, in replying said that the magistrate had the right to refuse to believe wit- nesses if it so pleased him to do so. Judge Ruddy held, in making Judg- ment, that there might be a great deal of suspicion in the Magistrate's mind but that "suspicion is not evi- dence" and agreed with the conten- tion of the appellant as to the Mag- istrate finding being wrong on the ground alone that he disbelieved the witnesses, Conviction Quashed The story told by the accused and Polinski while an extraordinary ene was not unreasonable and since it was not contradicted must be accept- ed, and that reasonable doubt should also be applied.
