Dr. Ewert Gave Medical Evidence as to Extent of Injuries Received by Bellos
Police Magistrate Moran on Thursday afLernoon dismissed the charge against Arthur Bellos of obstructing a pol:ce officer in the discharge of his duty. The case attracted a great deal of local interest, not. alone by reason of the encounter between Bellos and Provincial Constable Cook, bu also by reason of the defence, entered by A. McB. Young, counsel for the accused, that the arres-t involved had be^n an illegal one. When the case for the prosecution: had been completed on Wednesday afternoon an adjournment was taken until Thursday afternoon for the argument, on the legality of the arrest.
Mr. Young had evidently given the case coravderable study and advanced the argument that while there are a number of ca^es in which ah arrest, could be made without a warrant that of assaulting a female is not one of them.
P. E. Wilson. K. C, contended the arrest had been legal. At; the time the arrest had been made Constable Cook had received the complaint of the g'rl May Rowland, and had seen that she had been apparently badly wounded, and a charee mieht have be�n laid
