Excerpt from The Western Law Reporter (Canada) And Index-Digest, Vol. 5: January May, 1907I am of Opinion that this conviction is bad on both these grounds and must be quashed. No application has been made to amend in this case, and if it had been I doubt whether I could have amended. I am inclined to the opinion that where I am called upon to exercise a discretion of the char acter of fixing the term of imprisonment I am unable to amend. I am also inclined to the opinion, in view of its word ing, that the provision in the clause 3 in question providing for imprisonment is not merely a means of enforcing the penalty, but provides an alternative punishment in case the penalty is not paid. I express no decided opinion on that question however.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.
