The Position of a Police Force.
The defendants have cited cases which they contend apply to the facts in this case. These cases cited are ones in which the police inveigled the defendant to commit a. crime of which he is suspected of having committed before, and in which the decision of the Court held that where the police is a party in the perpetration of crime, of which the defendant does not have full knowledge, a con- viction will not stand. The case at bar, however, differs in regard to the facts from the cases as cited.: Such a condition could only be charged to Captain Clarke in plan- ning to trap the defendants. He denies that he knew that another branch of the Police Department were planning to arrest these defendants. That he had only in- formed other branches of the police force to keep an eye on the defendant Worthington's conduct. It appears that the two foreign constables were not working under the direct supervision of Captain Clarke at the time the arrest was made. It cannot be claimed that the defendants in this case were in the same position as those cited, and I fail to see that they are 37- alagous to the case at bar.
While the perpetration of this technical violation of the law, of which the defendants are specific- ully charged, is not of very serious; import, as there is no 'intimation that they intended to use the pis-: tols to perpetrate acts of violence with them, the overt act which constitutes the charge is, how- ever, apparent,
Defendants Committed. " This Court, Lawever, cannot render a decision on the merits of the case in so far as it concerns n final judgment. Its province ex- tends only to the affect of deter-1 a prima mining, whether or not facfe case has been shown tending to vialate the statute under which this charge is brought. After duly considering such evidence, as has been submitted, I am of the opinion that a prima facie case has been made against both de fendants, and accordingly bind them over to answer to the Higher Court on this charge. Their bail is fixed in, the sum of $100.00 U.S. currency, for which they may give their personal recognizance.
Back to Scott.
These two regiments, with the Royal Scots Fusiliers, the King's Borderers, the Own Scottish Camerorians, and the Scots Greys, were part of the Scottish Army, which had its own establishment until the union of the two king- doms.
