As an aid to the better functioning of the police radio service the following rules are laid down:1. ScJae_duleju Divisions will keep schedule with Headquarters daily’¥t the* following tines: ‘

Morjiing AfternoonVancouver TJZF T.T5**a*nd 10.45 *2.30 and”'3.50Kanlooos UZK 10.00 and 11.00 2.45 and 3.45Nelson UZI 10.15 and 11.15 3.00 and 4.00Pr.Rupert USG lo.30 and 11.30 3.15 and 4.15Whilst at sea the police launch' "PML 85’ (VGCN) will maintain schedule with Rrince Rupert at the discretion of the Officer Commanding WD” Division.2. If Headquarters is busy with other stations and transmission extends over schedule time the next station to make schedule should stand by until called by Headquarters. The station desiring to make schedule will bo given an indication of the importanceor length of tho message which is interrupting tho schedule,and the Headquarters operator will signify whether there is anything to transmit. For instance: Prince Rupert desiring tokeep a schedule at 4.15 p.m. is prevented from doing so by reason of a lengthy messago being transmitted from Hoadquarters to Vancouvor. At tho schedule moment (4.15) the Headquarters operator will break his message to Vancouver and signify to Prince Rupert what traffic there is for him. If Prince Huport has a message he will be asked to stand by. If it is a veryshort message it will be taken right away. If a lengthy messagebeing transmitted to Headquarters by another Division is tho cause of delay at the schedulo time then Headquarters will stop transmission long enough to clear other stations.3. Headquarters can be called at any time between 9.00 and 12.00 midday and 2.30 to 5.00 p.m. when it is not tho schedule timeof another station.4. In the interval between 4,15.p.m. and 5.00 p.m. when no station has a schodulo, Hoadquartors can bo called by any Division.5. Where the reply to an important message can be quickly obtained at a Divisional Office thoro is no need to wait until tho next schedulo period to transmit the answer. Headquarters will stand by, whonevor requested to, for periods of from 5 to 10 mihutos. If at the end of the 5 or 10 minute period the Divisional Office signifies that the answer cannot bo given until a later hour, then I-IeadqUartors will signify that the message can remain over until next Schedule period.

CRIMINAL PROCEDURE:3. Opium and Narcotic Drug Act;

In laying an information under the Opium and Narcotic Drug Act, Section 4 (d), it is not necessary to recite in the charge all the wording of the subsection. It is considered that a good and sufficient, and the best form of charge is as follows;

Opium and Narcotic Drug Act, 1929.”GAME a CT?

4. Guides Licences;All ranks are advised that when they receive an application for a guide’s licence, the number of the licence issued should bo noted on the application submitted by tho guide for such licence.

Headquarters, Victoria, B. C. May 14 th, 1930.

GAME aCT. 1. Rex versus E.J.Quaedvlieg, Keremeos, B. C.Special Firearms Licence No. 17802, issued to the above, on November 30th, 1929, by Constable A. E. Spall of Keremeos, B. C., has been cancelled under the provisions of Section 32 of the Game Act.Mr. Quaedvlieg will not be entitled to apply for or obtain any licence under the "Game Act” until on or after April 10th, 1931. Should this gentleman make application on or after this date, the licence applied for should not be issued until instructions are received from the Game Commissioner.

EQUIPMENT. 2. Officers Commanding Divisions will instruct N.C.O.’sand constables in charge of automobiles or motor cycles to examine inner tubes before requisitioning for new tires and tubes. Inner tubes should be good for at least 20,000 miles unless they have been used in an under-inflated condition. It should, therefore, be unnecessary bo require inner tubes with every order of tires. Greater mileage will invariably be obtained from both tires and tubes if proper inflation is constantly maintained.Gratis air examination is usually obtainable at any Service Station.

FINGERPRINTS. 3. Whenever finger print forms of a man in custodyare forwarded to Headquarters for the purpose of finding out whether or not there is any previous record, it should be very clearly shown on the forms the date when the accused person is to be brought before a court for trial. This information is essential in order to prevent unnecessary telegraphic communication between Headquarters and the Finger print Bureau at Ottawa.

INDIAN ACT. 4. Where an accused person is convicted of aninfraction of the marginally named Statute, he might properly be charged - as part of the Crpwn costs - such interpreter’s fees as may have aris en in connection with the prosectuion.

MOTOR-VEHICLEACT. 5• Attention is particularly calle d to the growing

habit of automobile owners;-(a) Allowing their motor-licence plates to become covered with dirt to the extent of rendering it impossible to read the numbers thereon.(b) Obscuring their plates by placing them behind bumpers.(c) Fastening motor-licence plates so that they swing. ’ •As motor-vehicle lioence plates are issued for purposes of identification it is absolutely necessary that the conditions above referred to should be corrected. All ranks will therefore see that the provisions of Clause "A” of Section 3 of the Motor-vehicle Act Regulations are enforced and a monthly report covering check-ups and corrections

6. Y/ith reference to circular letter of 15th ultimo, the Censor of Moving Pictures advises me that it will he sufficient if our officers make a monthly inspection at the projection booths.

7. If a case arises in a municipality, it does not matter which body of police, Dominion, Provincial or Municipal, effected the arrest, the charge for maintenance is on the municipal authorities. If the case he a provincial one;i.e., if the offence was committed in unorganized territory, then, of course, the province is responsible.

8. It is pointed out that the Purchasing Agent is the sole officer far the purchasing of supplies and except in certain cases, such as for accounts covering gas, oil, etc., no purchases are to he made hy any official except on an approved requisition of the Purchasing Agent.As the so-called "Emergency purchase" requisition has been considerably abused in the past, any requisitions received after a purchase has been made will be refused.

8a. On all vouchers and requisitions the space left for the signature of the Attorney-General or Deputy Attorney-General is to be left vacant.

PHARMACY ACT:■~'*~"4. under Sec.44, Clause 24 of the marginally mentioned

Act, it is provided that for the sale in open shops of poisonous substances used in agriculture or horticulture for the destruction of insects, fungi or bacfcfcria, or as sheep dips or weed killers, a licence must first be obtained from the Department of Agriculture the fee for which is £5.00 per annum.The licensee shall keep a register of purchases and sales made by him in order of date, v/hich shall be at all times open bo inspection by any person designated for that purpose by the Department of Agriculture.

TICKET-OF-LEAVE:6. Recently the Commissioner, R.C.M.Police, Ottawa complained that a man released from prison at Regina on ticket-of-leave had failed to live up to the obligations of his licence by not reporting, and the revocation of his licence was under consideration. After some enquiries it was found that this man had been reporting regularly to one of our detachments, but the constable in charge of this detachment had failed to notify his superior officer and therefore the Commissioner was not advised. In all cases where ticket-of-leave men report in accordance with the terms of their licences, particulars must be taken and forwarded at once to Headquarters through the usual channel.

I am in receipt of a letter from the North Pacific Association of Amateur Oarsmen calling my attention to an incident which took place at Brentwood Bay,B.C. on the occasion of a recent regatta. One of the contestants collapsed at the finish of a race and his craft capsized.Another contestant went to his assistance but being also exhausted could do .little to save his companion. Constables Tweedhope and Kennelly with the police launch "P.M.L.6" were in the vicinity and promptly went to the rescue and saved a possible tragedy.My appreciation is extended to these two members of the Force for their prompt action.

Section 9 of the M.V.Act AmendmentAct,1930 amends Sec,18 of the M.V.Act to specify a particularmotorvehicle instead of, as in the past, specifying anjr certain make or style of car.The reason for this change is to. confine the use of the permit to the operation of the motor vehicle owned by the parent or guardian of the minor. In a number of instances recently certificates of competency of minor have been filled out to ••give permission to operate;ia standard gear car'’, ”a Ford car”, etc. This is not in accordance with the pmended section.

GENERAL ORDER No.108 Victoria,E.C< ' . . . . ~ Sept ♦ 3i3, jl930SECURITY FRAUDS PREVENTION ACT:

In the very near future all Detachments will be supplied with a copy of the marginally mentioned Act. Mr.H.G.Garrett, the Registrar of Companies, has been good enough to furnish a memorandum explaining the salient features of the Act. The memorandum is as follows: /1. The Act came into Fprce on May 7th, 1930 and the Regulations made under Section 32 were published in the Gazette on May 1st,1930.The Regulations prescribe the procedure and fees for registration.A' amendment to th9 Regulations reducing the fee for a branch manager was published in the Gazette on August 8th, 1930. Forms and information can be obtained on application to the Registrar of Companies at Victoria.2. The purpose of the Act is to prevent fraudulent trading in securities, and the Act (s.4) prohibits trading by unregistered persons, whether "brokers" or "salesmen".It "should be particularly noted that the terras "broker", "fraud", "security", and "trade" are specially defined in a much wider sense than their ordinary meanings convey: ““p"Broker" includes not only a stock-broker, but also any dealer in securities and a company issuing its own securities for sale."Security" is defined in both the Act and the Regulations and embraces every kind of share, bond, certificate, etc."Trade" covers not only any deal in a security, but also the solicitation or obtaining of a subscription to a security.The Regulations also define "Official", and exempt from the Act "salesmen, whose duties do not ordinarily include trading in securities".Section 3 of the Act exempts certain trades and securities which include: (a) trading by or on behalf of the owner of a security, except "in the course of continued and successive transactions", for instance, the sale of promotion stock; (b) securities issued by a "private"company; (c) certain trades by an actual prospector.3. In the administration of the Act temporary registration (s.5s.s.2) is first granted and that may be followed by full registration. ’ In the former case a letter only is issued'that temporary registration has been granted, Jh the latter a certificate is issued ;in black ink for a "broker", in blue for a company issuing its own securities and in pink for a salesman. Temporary registration may be conditional or limited; for instance, authorizing trading in only a specified number of shares or the shares of a specified company.Full registration authorizes trading in all kinds of securities, and the "broker" may be held responsible for fraudulent securities traded in by him. A registered individual broker or salesman will therefore have a letter or certificate in his name. In the case ofa company or partnership, the registration in its name covers the !bona fide officials of the company and. the members and officials.pfthe partnership. "Official" is defined in the Regulations. ;4. All registrations expire on the 30th day cf April next following the date of registration. Registration may also be suspended or cancelled (Sections 9, 11 and 12). >5. Under Sec.10 the Attorney-General may make investigations and appoint representatives with full powers. A report to the Registrar jof any fraudulent trading or violation of the Act will receive jprompt attention. No proceedings, however, can be taken v/ithout the jconsent of the Attorney-General (Sec.33, s.4).6. It is possible that attempts will be 'made to alter letters and certificates of registration, or even to impersonate salesmen duly registered. A salesman, in his application}.^Is required to give a description of himself.

EQUIPMENT: 1 - (Anti-freeze solution). Attention of all ranks isdirected to the purchase and use of anti-freeze solution in police cars. Before filling radiators with anti-freeze all radiator connections and pump glands should be examined for leaks. The solution recommended for use is "Whiz Gold- Eand” which retails at §3,75 per gallon. Care should be oxercised to see that the right percentage of solution is at all times maintained. The purchase of ’’Prestone” and ether expensive "brands of ai-ti-freeze will not be approved,2. (Batteries). Several batteries were frozen through ?ack of knowledge or carelessness last winter. In winter months batteries snould be kept fully charged, and, if the vehicle is taken off the road the battery must be removed; charged to foil capacity; kept in that condition, and stored where there is no possibility of freezing.

GAME ACT; 3, Order in Council No.1101 approved 9,9.30 amends the Game Regulations 3.930-31, by striking out the first paragraph of Clause A and substituting therefor, the following:-”(a), Moose of the male sex in the Electoral Districts of Atlin, Fort George, Cariboo, Omineca and those portions of the Kamloops, Salmon Arm and Revelstoke Electoral Districts situate and lying north of the 51st parallel of latitude, open season from Sept.1st, 1930 to Dec, 15th, 1930, both dates inclusive.”

CARIBOO HIGHWAY 4. (Toll Sections). Referring to para, 9 of G,0.103.It has been arranged with the Public Works Department that members of this Force not in uniform, but who can properly identify themselves by identification cards, badges, etc. will be permitted to travel on the Cariboo Highway toll free,

COMMENDATION:It affords me great pleasure to commend the recent work of #293, Const.W,j,THOMSON (Princeton Detachment) and #377,Const.F.G.HATHERILL (Coalmont petachment) in connection with the Elakeburn Mine Disaster. Mr.W.A.Wagenhausor, Chairman of the Blakeburn Relief Fund, Princeton,B.C. writes in part:’’This awful catastrophe called for more than mere despatch of duty; it gave the opportunity to bring out the very best that is in men,' and these constables, especially Constable Hatherill, have been indefatigable in their efforts to assist, far beyond what has been required of them. They have borne experiences that beggar description, the work of Constable Hatherill in connection with the recovery of the bodies being outstanding. Regular hours have been forgotten by both men, Constable Thomson's work at Princeton being heavi?.F increased by the absence of his colleague at Blakeburn”As a mark of appreciation each- Constable has been awarded the sum of £50,00 from the Award ITund.

GENERAL ORDER No. 114

AGRICULTURAL ACT

CRUSREPORTS:

lTTPart III. RSBC 1924.- Sect.18). The Department of Agriculture has asked the co-operation of this Force in bringing to their attention individuals selling nursery stock without first taking out a licence in that behalf.The names of persons growing or selling nursery stock without a licence should be reported to Headquarters, through the usual channel, and the names will be checked with the Agricultural Department's list of licensed nurserymen. If the individual is licenced the constable v/ill be advised. If not' licenced the individual in question will be v/ritten to by the Agricultural Department.2. It has been drawn to my attention that, in some instances, instructions have been given that only N.C.O's or Constables in charge of detachments should make out crime reports. These instructions are incorrect, and crime reports must be made out by the man 7/ho actually enquires into,*or investigates the matter being reported on.3. In future the headings of crime reports will be standardized, and all ranks making out crime roports must be guided by the examples shown hereunder.

For offences under the Provincial Statutes it is only necessary to show in the heeding the Statute involved and the section, viz:

Do not describe the nature of the offence in the heading. This must be done in the body of the report and saves needless repetition. A heading such as:

"Motor-vehicle Act: Failing to produce a driver's licence - Section 9-A"

is wrong. The offence should be described in the first paragraph of the report.

Offences under the Criminal Code can be shown in the heading in the following manner:"Breaking and entering - Section 460 - CC" or "Theft - Sect.386 - CC" or "Wounding with intent - Sect.273 - CC"

There is a tendency to make the heading too lengthy, ^as:"Theft of potatoes under the value of $10.00 from C.Brown,’ of Vancouver,B.C. Section 386 - CC"

The name of the accused, or complainant where the accused is not known, should leave no doubt as to which is the surname’ and which are the Christian names. Diffheulty often, arises in determining which is which. This is particularly true of Indian names. The surname should always be given first in large type, and the Christian name, or names, after the surname in small letters. For example: "PAUL, George"or "GEORGE, Alec". A comma should separate the Surname and Christian names. This method leaves no doubt as to the man's name and has the additional advantage of having the surname stand out clearly. The following are therefore given as examples of headings to be used in future:"Rex vs.BROWN, John. 'Theft. Section 386.CC""Rex vs.JOHNSON, Samual Henry. Common assault. Sec.291.CC" Rex vs.SMITH, Albert. Gov't.Liquor Act. Sect.28""Rex vs.ROBERTSON, Arthur George.Motor-vehicle Act.Sen.2-A" "Re: CAMERON, Charles. Complaint of. Theft"

"Motor-vehicle Act. - Sec.13 (1)"

jySPOHfCS:”'4. For the future reports in connection with investigation; carried oat on behalf of other departments should show the mileage travelled and. cost. This particularly applies to destitution cases, Mother’s Pension cases, Sheep Protection Act investigations, etc. The mileage can be noted at the conclusion of the report, vis:

Miles travelled ...66Cost................ $3.50

CRIMINAL?pp01D;.IK5: 5. The instructions given in para.2 of G.0.58 are hereby

cancelled. It has now been ruled by the Department that an Indian woman is entitled to the benefits of the Deserted Wives Maintenance Act” and is in the same position as a white woman proceeding against a neglecting husband and who is without means and without property which can be attached.6. in every case 7/here the informant or any other party is entitled to receive a moiety of the penalty imposed, the Magistrate should be asked to withold payment of such moiety until the time for appeal has elapsed, or in the event of an appeal to av/ait its termination.7. By Order in Council No.121 approved February 3rd, 1931, the Kamloops lockup is made a common gaol for the Counties of Yale and Cariboo.

POLICE GARS:8.. N.C.Oc’s in charge of districts-or detachments}. ?/ho may be absent on duty must not take away with them the keys of a police car or motorcycle on charge to that district office or detachment. The keys must be left with the next senior man so that the vehicle can be used during the absence of the N*C.0»

GRIME JiL^ORTS:2. deferring to the instructions regarding crime'reports given in General Orders 46. 57 and 114; the address of the accused or complainant must not be included in the heading but should be given in the body of the report. The instructions in this regard given in 0.0.46 still stand, and the sample report attached to C-.0.57 was erroneous.

•

POOOPTS:”3. A new guard room is being constructed at the entrance to the Oakalla Prison Farm and, when the work has been completed, the following procedure will be observed by all ranks escorting prisoners to the prison Farm.

On admission to the Guard Room with the prisoner, the Constable or N.C.o. will be relieved of his arms by the guard on duty. If the prisoner is handcuffed, the handcuffs must not be taken off before the escorting officer’s revolver is secured by the guard. After the guard has placed the constable’s revolver in a secure place, the. second (or. inner gate) will be opened and the prisoner and escort admitted to the receiving, room. Upon returning to the guard room before leaving the gaol, the officer will have his revolver returned to him.The Warden of the Oalcalla prison Farm will report at once any dereliction in this respect, either on behalf of the gaol staff or a police officer.

INDIAN ACT: 1*4.~ (Mc.id.ies). In a recent case an accused person was convicted under the Indian Act'and the fine and costs paid to the Magistrate according to custom. The costs v/ere rather elaborate. The Magistrate absorbed the costs, and at the same time paid the moiety allowed under the Act to the informant. The accused appealed and bhe conviction was quashed. It was then found impossible to obtain a refund as the Magistrate should not have disbursed the money until the time for.’ appeal had elapsed. It has been suggested by the Department that officers acting on prosecutions should apprise the Magistrate of the fact that an appeal is possible, and that r.o disposition of the fines, costs or stewards should be made until the per led for appeal has lapsed.

PAY AND ALLOWANCES:'"5.”’ iKe question has arisen as to whether a member of the Force in receipt of a pens .on should retain both Dominion Government pens:.ox. one; oay and allowances from this Force whiSbst undergoing treatment „:.i a military hospital. The Deputy Provincial Secretary lias riled:. :,r;ihe .’ratter of making a fixed rule respecting the payment of civil servants who are ex-soldiers and who, if they are ill, receive certain emoluments from the National Health & Pensions Branch of the Dominion Government, in. addition to free hospital and medical service, was brought before the Executive Council, and I was instructed to inform you that in such cases the individual should be paid the difference between his regular salary and the amount received from the Dominion Government. In other words, to the amount from the Dominion Government should be added that portion of the man’s salary required to make up a sum equal to the full salary. In the remote event of the amount received from the Dominion. Government being in excess of-the individual’s salary., no sum. would, of course, be payable by this Government but, on the other hand no refund would be expected from the employee concerned".-

VOUCHERS:Tho attention of all ranks is. drawn to the fact that, the strictest econcry must be observed during the fiscal year 1931-32. District N.C.O’s will be held strictly accountable for every item of expenditure and the following points should be borne in mind:STATIONERY: Should not be ordered at random but the supplyfor three or four months ahead should be carefully computed. TELEPHONES: Care should be taken in the matter of long distancecalls and, unless the call is in connection with urgent police work a memorandum should suffice. Where a divisional office has occasion to long distance a district office more than once a day, the call should be put through when there are a variety of subjects to be spoken about.MOTOR CARS: Repair bills will be subject to greator scrutinyduring tho present fiscal year.UNIFORMS: The provisions of para.1 of G.0.113 will be rigidlyadhered to,JANITOR’S SUPPLIES: Items under this heading must bo subjectto greater scrutiny by Divisional Inspectors and District N.C.O’s All items not absolutely necessary must be expunged.FUEL, WATER & LIGHT: Greater economy must be exercised in the uso of fuel an:; electric light in lockups and quarters. Lights should never bo left burning when not required.BUILDINGS: The Department of Public Works, through tho mediumof this Ge.noral Ordor, draws attention to the need for economy in the matter of maintenance and repairs to buildings. The Chief Engineer states: "It will he impossible to allow anyofficial to oxpond any monies against those votes without permission from this office in writing, except in such matters as repairs to broken water or steam pipes where instant action is required to safeguard public property. In the case of emergencies as referred to above please advise me immediately cf such matters and probable cost. Any requests for painting, decorating, new furniture, etc. cannot bo entertained under any circumstances neither can any improvements bo made which can stand over another year. No exception can be made to this ruling, and the Department will look with disapproval on any requests for work or furniture that can be avoided during this period, and no vouchers will be honoured that have not received author it;/ from this office in writing before the work is commenced-.”

he will have to pay the expenses of such transfer himself.GAME ACT:2V ArTicles confiscated under the ’’Game Act" must be forwarded to the

office of the C-ame' Commissioner, 411 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, as soon as the time limit for an appeal has elapsed.

GOVERNMENT LIQTJOR ACT:*37 [Cases involving second or subsequent infractions of the Act— sec.

93). Attention is drawn to the case of Rex v.Brandolini, 42 B.C.R. o36, March 1930, decision of Fisher J. This case involved an information for an infraction of the Government Liquor Act, and was properly laid as a second offence. The decision lays dovm the law, that in such cases, the duty of the Magistrate on the hearing of the charge is to read the first count of the Information only, and thereafter to proceed to hear The e videnc e” on that char ge. If the Magistrate at the conclusion of the hearing, finds the accused guilty on that charge, he shall then and not before that time ask the defendant v/hether he has been previously~conv*icted for’ an"in*fraction of the Act as set out in the information. TEe Magistrate then should and must read to the defendant that part of the Information whi~ch~ sets out the ~pre~vious~ convict! on,~"or convictions," and tTien*'a sic the~~accuse~d~ whether he was so previously convicted. This follows the proce'dure laid down in Clause ( aT'of Sect*. 93 of'TKe "Government Liquor Act". If the accused admits the previous conviction, or convictions, the Magistrate then must deal with his last offence as a second or third offence, as the case may be, and punish the Defendant accordingly. If the Defendant denies the previous conviction, or convictions, or if he fails or refuses on” the advice of "counsel or”’otherwise to answer the question, then substantive proof must be made of the facts. If the prosecution is' not prepared

\ with the proper proofs of the previous conviction, then a remandshould be obtained for sufficient time to enable production of suchproofs.

Proof of previous conviction may be made, prima facie, by producing to the Magistrate a Certificate under the hand of the Justice (in cases where the Defendant was convicted by a Stipendiary Magistrate or Justice of the Peace in a Court of first instance) or under the hand of the Registrar of the County Court (where tlxe defendant was convicted by a County Court Judge on an appeal from a stipendiary or Justice) certifying to the fact that a person whose name is identical with that of the present Dsfeadant was on a certain date, at a certain place, by the Magistrate or Justice signing the Certificate, convicted for a certain offence against the provisions of the Government Liquor Act, and was for his said offence fined or sentenced to imprisonment, as the case may be.

In case a Certificate is required from the Registrar of the County Court, such certificate may be in the following form:-

(!•) " THIS I~ TO CERTIFY that J. D of the City of PrinceRupert, in the County of Prince Rupert, Province of British Columbia,was convicted for a violation of the provisions of the Government Liquor Act by His Honour Judge F.McB.Young, Judge of the County Court for the said County cf Prince Runert, held at the said City of

A return of said conviction was filed with the Registrar of the County Court of Prince Rupert, holden at Prince Rupert aforesaid, on the 14th day of October, 1929, being the office to which convictions are returned for the said County of Prince Rupert.

REGISTRAR”^ th'e Ifoim^'Collf“ ~~ of Prince Rupert, holden at Prince Rupert, British Columbia”

This certificate follows the provisions of Clause (b) of Sect.93 of the Government Liquor Act.

The previous conviction may also be proved by tendering a certified copy, or an exemplification thereof, of the original conviction by the Stipendiary Magistrate or Justice, or a certified copy of the Order of the County Court Judge under the Seal of the County Court.

In as much as a Stipendiary or Justice has no official seal, his certificate should read, as follows

(2) ” I, the undersigned A......... B.........(Stipendiary Magistrate in and for the County of...,.......

a (Justice of the Peace in and for the Province of B.C. hereby certify that the foregoing document is a true and correctcopy of the original conviction of X ........ Y....... made byme'at........B.C. on the..........day of......193... and that

And as above stated, where the conviction was made on appeal to the County Judge, use the form shown as example No.l.

In every case where it is sought to prove a previous conviction, or convictions, the prosecution must prove the identity of the present Defendant with that of the person referred to in' the Certificate or Certified Copy ~of the Conviction. Identity'of" names or initials is no"t sufficient*.

Profif may be made by any officer who was in Court when the Defendant was previously convicted as alleged; or by the Magistrate’s Clerk (in Municipalities where the Police Magistrate has a Clerk) who acted as Clerk to the Magistrate on..the hearing, and who can identify the present accused with the person named in the Certificate or Certified Copy of the Conviction; or by calling the Magistrate or Justice of the Peace, in cases where the Justice hearing the charge is not the same Justice as previously convicted the defendant. The stipendiary or justice in such last mentioned case cannot apply or rely on his own knowledge of Identity. It must be provedTy extrinsic evidence”,"* In cases where the Defendant was convicted by a County Court Judge, in addition to the Certificate under the hand of the Registrar and the Seal of the Court, proof can be made by the Registrar that the person named in the Certificate as County judge, was actually the Judge and sat as such, and tried and convicted the accused.

G.0.123 PART II October,1931Commendations: Const.Jennings, J.K. - vanderhoof Detachment.

Appreciation is expressed to const * Jennings for his good work in connection with the Fredericks murder case. Mr.a .M.Johnson, K.C. Crown Counsel has been kind enough to express himself on this matter, as follows:"The conviction of the accused on a charge of murder at Trembleur Lake in June, 193C, was largely due to the tireless investigations carried out by Constable Jennings. The wild and rugged nature of the district and the fact that it is.uninhabited by whites made his work extremely difficult, and, while the trial record shows the result he achieved it does not begin to do justice to his polled work. I was very much impressed by the manner in which he gave his evidence ar the trial, ’Je was thoroughly conversant with every material fact and was eminently fair in his presentation.Const,Bingham, D.J. - prince George Dist/Hqrs, Appreciation is expressed to Const.Bingham for his prompt action and presence of mind in rescuing Mrs. Marcella Grosskleg from drowning in Burrard Inlet, Vancouver, on the 5th August last. The Royal Humane Society has been pleased to award a Parchment Oertiiicate for this deed.

PHARMACY ACT Mr•Russell H.MCDuffee, Registrar of the phaemaceutical Association of British Columbia, at Vancouver, has asked that, from time to time, members of the Force inspect drug stores in their respective areas. The Council is particularly concerned as to the observance of Sections‘8 and 9 of the Act. sect.9 provides that every drug store shall be in charge of a licentiate of pharmacy, that certified clerks (By- lav,- No. 1- a) are left in charge during the temporary absence of tho licentiate. According to the Association a certified clerk may be left during a part of a day but must not be left in charge while the licentiate is cut of town or on holiday. Apprentices may not be left alone but must at all times be under the direct supervision of a licentiate or certified clerk (sec.10).

and 20 provide for the registration of all and clerks.a drug store is divided upon into two or

mere departments, say a drug store with a lunch counter or soda fountain, or distinct stationery department, legal opinion is to the effect that persons may be in charge of those departments who are not registered under the pharmacy Act; but such persons may not in any way act as apprentices or have anything,, to do with drugs or medicines.

A copy of the pharmacy Act, combining the By-lav/s \of tho pharmaceutical Association is enclosed. ' f

Drug store reports' should be submitted to Headquarter/in duplicate, through the usueQ.-channel. /.A k

Attention oi’ all ranks is directed to tho method of tagging hides and skins after they have been inspected. All hides should bo tagged near fr.e tail. Tags should hot be" put tnrcugF'tEe taxi. iTseTTBounties. Department of A£riculture.voto 40. under Order 'In~Counc*».i No.T/IS7”app ?oved 1‘8.n7?J7 the present Bounty Regulations have been amended, reducing the bounty payable or cougar from $50.00 to $20.00, this reduction taking effect as and from Nov.30th,1931, The Department of Agriculture advises that so far as that Department can figure out the expenditures, there will be no monies left in the Bounty Vote before the New Year arrives and it will be more than likely that the Vote will be exhausted by the 30th November or 15th December. There is no possibility of supplementals being brought down at this Session to increase the amount •with a view to meeting payments on applications received after the present sum is disbursed.Narcotic prosecutions, it is noticed that in these cas’es a custom seems to have arisen of their b9ing carried to the upper Court from the Magistrate’s court thus involving h e a v y expense :m many prosecutions of rather a minor character. Undoubtedly, the accused, if he chooses, should be allowed to take summary trial unless the offence is one of some magnitude, when, of course the Crown can exercise its discretion in the public interest, it is suggested, therefore, that in the ordinary charges this expense might very well be obviated ao far as Provincial cases are concerned.It is highly important in cases under the "Gcv’t. •Liquor Act" where the liquor and tho conveyance, boat or’vessel- in which the liquor is sold is required to be forfeited, that the conviction be properly drawn up in order to sustain the forfeiture. The formal conviction signed by one Magistrate should show that the accused was convicted of keeping or having liquor for sale contrary to tho Government Liquor A°t in the vehicle, boat or other conveyance, A conviction drawn up without mention of the fact that the liquor was had or kept for sale in the conveyance would not support a forfeiture of the conveyance, end the fact that the liquor was had or kept for sale in the conveyance must be stated in order to justify a Torfeiture uncler Sec.76 of the Act,Reports submitted in connection with investigations under the Mother’s pension Act, destitution cases, etc. must bo clearly headed so as to givo an indication of tho type of investigation the report deals with. It is insufficient to state:"Nelson,-John. Application for assistance"The type of assistance should be indicated, as:"Nelson, John, Applicant for direct relief"Families supplied, with food at the expense of the. Vote for Dostitube, poor & sicl: should be mentioned as:"Johnson, Thomas. & family - Destitute, Poor & sick The name of the town can be included, investigations under the Mother’s Pension A°t should clearly show "Applicant for Mother’s pension" in the heading.

General order No.l^Q- Of Dec.1.1931UNEMPLOYED RELIEF:

51 TEe following instructions have been sent to all Government Agents and officials concerned with direct relief"(l).No direct relief is to be given until the case has been investigated and you are satisfied that the applicant is in actual want of the necessaries of life.(2).The flat rate of 40# per diem is not to be accepted as a standard. Each case must be dealt with upon its merits, and the minimum of necessary relief furnished in supplies or credit for the same. No cash to be given.(3).Direct relief to persons having a fixed residence may cover sufficient for a week or ten days as circumstances warrant; to a transient or a person having no fixed abode not more than two days’ subsistence may be given, but generally only one day’s subsistence should be allowed to the latter class.(4)..Persons requiring medical attention should be referred to the local provincial Medical Health Officer.(5).clothing to a limited extent may be supplied in urgent cases only and upon direct evidence of its necessity.Fuel to a limited extent may be allowed only where such is not procurable by the personal efforts of the applicant.(6).a transient from elsewhere Than pritish Columbia is to be encouraged to return to the place from which he came.This also applied to a provincial transient, but only providing he has a home or residence to which he may go. in such cases you may, at your discretion allow immediate relief only and refuse further aid. Casual movement of transients from one place to another must be discountenanced(7).unregistered transients from outside the Province, and those newly arrived therein, cannot be allowed to starve and in such cases the absolute minimum of relief is permissable.(8).care must be taken to prevent any person from obtaining relief in two places on the same day.(9).You have full authority to deal with any urgent or peculiar case in such a manner as you deem expedient, bearing in mind the principle under which direct relief is given, namely, that no person may be allowed actually to Suffer for v/ant of food, shelter, heat and clothing. Beyond that point you are not called upon to deal, except in casos coming under para.4 of this circular.”

DESTITUTE, POOR &SICK: 7. When special investigations are ordered, and a police launch

is used, mileage should be charged at the rate of twenty cents (20^) per mile, each way. Reports dealing with the investigation shall, of course, embody particulars of the mileage and cost, and monthly divisional statements shall

, conform.
