Being threatened with an attack of the grippe, Steckenreiter stated, that he did not feel in the best of health and as A result the whiskey had an effect upon him which under othâ€" er circumstances it would not have. Owâ€" ing to this fact the accused declared he became intoxicated and was in that condition when arprested by P.C. Kraft. Steckenreiter‘s story, although plausâ€" tble in every respect, did not have sufâ€" ficient weight to alter the provisions of the Ontario Temperance Aet which either through an oversight or a lack ofappreciation of details made no proâ€" viston to extenuate the deed of one‘ threatened with the grippe. Owing to this fact the law had to take its course and the accused was therefore obliged to pay $20 or take the option of a month‘s rest cure at Castle Cook.
