Parsons, British Columbia Public Ser vice Bulletin: In all criminal matters two Important facts should 'never be lost sight of: First, that our codified legal provisions dealing with crime, generally known as th Criminal Code, apply throughout Canada: secondly, that Ignorance of the law does not excuse an offence. The latter axiom Is Important and It may now be explained what 1 meant when defending' lawyers plead "color of right" In answer to a charge. Over twenty years ago a learned Judge gave It as his opinion that to do an illegal act In Ignorance ,1s not to do It with color of right He held that there must be at least an honest belief in the existence of a certain state of facts which, If It actually existed, would at law Justify or excuse the act done. Never forget that any attempt to commit an offence is unlawful, and that even though compelled by threats to do to. no one is excused for assist- In; in. the commission pf crimes Ilk; murder, forcible abduction, rape, caus-: Ing bodily harm, or arson. To help In come way, or to procure Its commis-1 sion. Is to "party" an offence; and, with the exception that married per-; sons cannot be accessories to each other, to knowingly aid an offender to escape capture is to become an "accessory af- : tcr the fact."

When and under what circumstances may It be legally exercised? Briefly. U reasonable means .having failed, force may toe used to effect the following purposes: j 1. In making an rret. . 2. In preventing the escape or rescue j of a prisoner. I 3. To prevent the commission of an offence. j 4. To prevent a breach of the peace. S. In self-defence. ! 6; In delendlng real or movable pro- perty against a trespasser. 7. in defending a dwelling house against any one intending to commit an indictable offence therein, j 8. In the correction of chUdrcn. j on one point our Code Is clear and . emphatic, and It caiuitt be too strongly i Impressed on the reader's mind that excessive force must never be employ ed. For Instance, against an unprovoked ! attack no more must be used than Is necessary for the purpose, of self-de j fence: and according to Its degree of Intensity so must every attack be repelled. In the correction of children. I too, we again, see how the law opposes any abuse of power. "Provided auch , force Is reasonable tinder the clrcum I stances. It Is lawful for every parent, j or person In place of a parent, school-. master, or 'master, to use force by way !pf correction towards any child, pupil or apprentice In his care." Two prime essentials are required of any one forcibly protecting property. It must be In his peaceable possession and owned or held under a claim of right. Lacking these there could be no legal defence against a lawful owner. I'OlW.lt Of AKItKST As with the use of "force." doubt and uncertainty slo prevails with regard to arrest": in fact, many people think that only police officers possess this power. To the contrary, any one may arrest persons round committing, or believed to have committed, a serious of. fence, though as to the latter be very sure In your belief. Suspicious clrcum stances are not necessarily criminal! Private Individuals may also arrest an offender who Is in flight. Generally rant, and unless there Is extreme urgency, or unless delay Is likely to defeat the ends of Justice. It Is a better and safer plan to leave .such matters to the police. In Canadian criminal law offences fall under one of two headings; that 1 they are either Indictable or non-indlct. able. An Indictable offence Is one where, after what la known as a preliminary Inquiry, the accused la committed to stand his trial before a Judge of a superior court sitting with or without a Jury. 1-ltELIMlXAUV IXIII IICIES As the sole function of these proceedings la to ascertain whether or not there Is sufficient evidence to warrant placing the accused person upon his defence, any Justice of the peace can hold a preliminary Inquiry. It la not a trial nor !. the accused called upon to plead one way or the other, and once he "commits" the Justice Is althout further Jurisdiction. With one exception he cannot even grant baU unless by order of the Judge. The exception, and It only concerns offences not punishable by death. Is this: Where the presumption of guilt hardly warrants committal, although there Is sufficient evidence to put the accused on trial. Justices may release a prisoner wboe future appearance Is guaranteed. However, this Is entirely matter for discretion and, rather than assume any responsibility. It la the usual custom to commit and await a Judge'a order. Provided a personal Interest in the affair docs not preclude him from of ficiating, and the cae Is one with which he can legally deal, the Jurisdiction of a Justice Is absolute. An accused person la without choice In the matter and It Is not for the defendant to aay. as sometimes he most Improperly docs that "Mr. So-and-so," naming the Justice. "Isn't going to try him." Of course, once a case la determined, any one feeling aggrieved by the decision has a perfect right to lodge an appeal against what he may regard as an Improper verdict. " AI'PKALN As there must be compliance with certain fixed rules of procedure. It Is always advUaible to obtain legal assistance when contemplating an appeal against a Justice's order or conviction. Within a strictly limited period ten days a notice of Intention which sets forth the grounds upon which the appeal Is based must be served on the officiating Justice and on the clerk of the court appealed to. This latter official will al'O want a copy Of the order or conviction, and in some Instances a cash deposit sufficient' to cover the expenses of a new trial. These preliminaries completed, every one concerned iwlil be duly advised when and where the matter will be heard afresh, Remedy by way of a stated cae la much simpler and' Infinitely less expensive. Within seven days of a Justice's decision being quesUoned the party aggrieved requests him to prepare a signed statement for review by a superior court. This document, which precludes an appeal, must recite the entire facts and la either supported or quashed by the examining Judge. Non-Indictable offences are those lesser misdemeanours which one or mere Justices of the peace can try and determine; that la to aay, hear the evidence and then render and enforce a decision. During auch trials the proceedings may be adjourned from time to time as necessary and the accused either released on ball or allowed to remain at large. When there la an Information before a magistrate, that la the commencement of the prosecution, and the Code pre-icritci set time limits within which tnr h4mU offences must be commenced. Depending upon their na- ture. these periods range from one month to three years, and for the reader's convenience will be given at th end of every chapter. In many In-stances, such as in the case of murder, manslaughter, rape, or theft, lapse of time docs not bar their prosecution. LAWYERS a four rrmnrki touchlnz the employ ment of counsel may' now "bt In order, jj Whether the matter' be one for trial by; Judge br Justice, litigants either accusers or accused have a perfect right to retain lawyers to protect their Interests. Indeed, should the Issue be of Importance it would be false economy not to do so. The nature of their business requires all reputable taw firms to possess a thorough appreciation of the many problems peculiar to the territory they cerve, and as this also Implies a knowledge of the Inhabitants It seems but logical to consult them when In trouble. After all. the law Is a highly complicated business and the small fee charged for legal advice may well prove to be an excellent Investment. In conclusion, a word of caution. When employing a lawyer tell htm the truth and tell htm all the facts. Keep nothing back. Vour Interests arels, but to protect those interests he, must possess your entire confidence.
