DRINK AND CRIME
COMMENT BY CHIEF JUSTICE
“I don’t suppose this young man would have found himself in this unfortunate position had ho not fallen through drink,” said His Honour the Chief Justice. (Sir Robert Stout), when sentencing a prisoner in the Supreme Court on Saturday morning,” and indirectly we who are the citizens of the Dominion are responsible. The money sent out of this country, last year for alcohol was about a million pounds, without considering its attendant charges. At every session of the Court about a third of the offences are due to drink, and this is regrettable, but true.”
