The decision ot Magistrate Marsh BU In connection with a charge Pearl Kowerchuk was upheld by Judge Barrett on appeal Wednesday. 6he was charged with having In her possession mash suitable for the manufacture of spirits, and was tried in the police court last November, the result being the dismiss 1 of the information. From this erdlct the inland revenue department appealed to the county court.

E. O. Porter acted for the inland revenue department, and H. D. Sparling conducted the case for the accused, both In the police court and the appeal.

Judge Barrett held that the accused had not been completely connected up with the ownership or possession of the mash, and that, as the evidence showed that the mash had been taken from the home of Peter and Pearl Kowerchuk, neither whom was fat home at the time the seizure was made, there is some doubt as to whether Pearl Kower ehuk was properly charged with the offense, there being' no evidence to how that Peter Kowerchuk was not the proper person to be charged. When giving Judgment the court did not allow costs.
