Synopsis

Excerpt from Return to an Order of the House That the Report of the Commissioner Who Held the Recent Enquiry Into the Conduct of W. R. Andrews, the License Inspector of East Elgin: Together With the Evidence on Which Same Is Based, Be Laid on the Table of the House

Acting under the authority of a Commission, dated February 5th, 1909, issued to me in pursuance of the Statute in that behalf empowering me to hold an enquiry in relation to the matter hereinafter mentioned and having completed the same I beg to make the following report.

This enquiry arises out of a charge made against W. R. Andrews, the License Inspector for the District of East Elgin, in connection with a prosecution of one David Butler, the holder of a tavern license at Orwell in the said district who in August, 1906, was convicted under the Liquor License Act of keeping a disorderly house and was deprived of his license by an order of the Magistrate before whom the case was tried, which said conviction was subsequently confirmed by the County Judge on appeal.

The details of the case are somewhat unsavoury and are fully set out in the evidence hereto annexed which was taken under oath. A good deal of local irritation has been engendered by this case, and it is perhaps desirable that the material facts should be better understood.

Immediately following the disposition of the case against the said Butler, it was alleged and has since been constantly reiterated that the Inspector in bringing the said prosecution was not actuated so much by a desire to punish Butler as by the hope that he could thereby, injure the political prospects of one W. F. Hepburn, who at that time was a candidate, in the liberal interests, at a bye-election for the House of Commons. The imputation thus cast upon the Inspector subjected him to the suspicion that he was using his office for improper purposes, and this suspicion he alleged did him a grave injustice, and some weeks ago he demanded that an enquiry be held for the purpose of determining whether or not he was guilty of the irregularity charged against him which in effect was that he had conspired, with certain other persons, to injure the said Hepburn politically, and that for that purpose a trap had been laid for Hepburn into which he had inno cently fallen, that the whole scheme was a colourable one, and that the law itself had been prostituted for the purpose of injuring a person with whom the Inspector was not politically in accord.
