Accused's Statement, Preferring to make a statement instead of giving evidence on oath,. Munro said he went to the Club to ace the Secretary and to keep an appointment with a member. After seeing the Secretary he came down and saw Mr. Cadger who ask- ed him to have à drink and he did. After this another member asked him to play a game of billiards. On this man's Invitation he went to the Club again. He lost the billiards and accused asked if he could sign. He was told that he .could.

Questioned by his Honour, Munro stated that from his experience of clubs in the East and ho had been out eighteen years it was not customary for a visitor to pay for drinka nt a club. His Honour convicted the accus- ed on all three, charges and zo- marked that he obviously, had no right to go into the Club.

יד

Mr. Spencer Wilkinson said that It was not the desire of the Club to pross the charges: all that they wanted was a conviction to impress on people that they could not do these things.

-Sentence of three months rigor- ous imprisonment was 'passed on the first, charge, the sentence to run concurrently with the previous, sentence. His Honour recorded a conviction on each of the other two charges but Imposed no penalty,"
