Strasslund, a logger, gave evidence for the defence that he had taken a bottle of whiskey to the Savoy bar on the night of the search and had left it there in the care of Walter Scrimgeour whilst he went for a walk about the town. On his return the place was elosed, he had forgotten that the bar was shut at midnight and was entirely unaware of the raid until the following morning when Scrimgeour, then out on bail, asked him to appear in court. Mr. Robinson, partner in the business, testified that in the early part of the evening the jug which was brought to court as having held liquor was in its customary place. He only re- lieved Scrimgeour whilst the lat- ter went to get a light lunch. The accused, in giving his evi- dence, corroborated the details as stated by Strasslund, saying that had got the bottle to have a ple of drinks and while clean- ing up had set it on the back of the shelf near some other bottles He accounted for the liquor in the ji by the statement of Strass- lund that he had told him to put jaway of shots for him- self. w. ©. as he cou a couple Fulton appeared for the accused while W.

Two important motions were passed by the Retail Merchants at their meeting in the council chamber last evening. One was a resolution asking the Retail Clerks’ Association to appoint a Lo proceed at once geized and produced in court this{|COmmittee of three to mest a similar committee from the mer- chants with a view to discussing the question of shorter hours. Later a committee consisting of Messrs. O'Reilly, Munro and Ta- brum was dppointed to represent the merchants, The second resolution was one calling on the Police Commission to enforce the law in regard to the closing of fruit stores. It seems that there is a city bylaw under which fruit stores are sup- posed to close at 6:30. This by- law has never been enforced. Re- cently the Rupert Table Supply has put in, a fruit stand which keeps open evenings ang holidays and other grocers are proposing to follow suit. They stated at the meeting that in order to meet competition they must either put in fruit stands or have the law enforced, making all close. If the Police Commissioners de. cide to enforee the bylaw it will mean that the ice cream stands and other places will not be al- lowed to sell fruit after hours.
