THE accused was indicted under section 216 of the Crimes Act, 1908. The facts and the question of evidence appear from tbe headnote and from the judgment of Chapman, J. Stringer, K. C., for the Crown. Donnelly for the acoused. CHAPMAN, J.:— During the course of the trial yesterday it was arranged that the question of the admissibility of certain evidence should be argued, and it was argued, in order that I should be in a position to consider the question and to state my opinion with reference to it. Accused is charged with having had carnal knowledge of a girl a little over fifteen years of age. There is admittedly no dispute as to her age— she was fifteen on the 22nd of July last. The defence is that the accused had reasonable grounds for oelieving that she was sixteen or over. Stie was cross- examined as to whether she did not tell the accused that she was over sixteen, and denied having done so. As to this statement it is manifest that it directly touches the grounds of belief of acoused, and he may contradiot her. Section 10 of the Evidence Act, 1908, would justify admit- ting evidence that she had told others that she had so told accused, as these would be statements inconsistent with her present testimony. All this is common ground, but no such evidence is forthcoming. Mr. Donnelly also cross examined the girl as to her having told other people some time before July that she was going to have a birtuday party and that she would then be sixteen. This and similar questions as to similar statements she denies. Mr. Donnelly now seeks to carry the matter one step further by calling these people to prove that she made these statements, arguing that this is admissible on the ground that she had been properly asked " whether she has made any former statement relative to the subject- matter of the proceeding and inconsistent with her present testimony" ( section 10), and that she may now be contradicted, and that the rule formulated in that section covers this case. There is, however, no issue as to the girl's age, and if there were she could give no evidence of any value relevant to it. The only issue to which it is sought to apply this evidence is that which arises when the accused sets up affirmatively that he had reason to believe ( which must imply that he did believe) that the girl was of or over the age of sixteen years. In connection with this issue, conversations with other persons not communicated by them to accused do not enter into the question of his grounds of belief. The girl was properly questioned as to them, but qua the real and only issue— that cross- examination is a cross- examination upon a collateral question, to contradict which is forbidden by the ordinary rule applicable to such cases: Attorney- General v. Hitchcock ( 1 Ex. 91); Palmer v. Trower ( 8 Ex. 247). To arrive at a solution of the question now raised— namely, whether this evidence is admissible by virtue of section 10— it is necessary to bear in mind that the " subject- matter of the proceeding," relative^ to which the girl's statement denying the conversation was made, was the belief of the accused, and then to consider what bearing the statements made to the other persons can have upon this question. They certainly have none in the ordinary sense. All that can be said is that they tend to make out the girl's evidence is less trustworthy, and consequently to raise the value of that of the prisoner. That might be said of every conceivable contradiction arising upon purely collateral matter. I think that the case is governed by the ordinary rule, and that the evidence must be rejeoted.

The scope and object of section 205 ( d) are the same as those of section 213 ; and the object of section 205 ( d) is therefore to prohibit the sale of liquor, so far as is reasonably possible, to prohibited persons, and its scope is limited to cases where the person supplying the liquor cannot prove he acted innocently. The appellant, who was a barman employed in an Auck- land hotel, supplied liquor to a prohibited person. Proof was given that neither he nor the licensee was aware of the existence of the prohibition. The Magistrate con- victed the appellant, under section 205 ( d) of the Licensing Act, 1908. Held, That the conviotion must be quashed, the appel- lant having established that he acted innocently. APPEAL on point of law under the Justices of the Peace Act, 1908, against the conviction of the appellant by E. C. Cut- ten, Esq., S. M., at Auckland, of an offenoe under sec- tion 205 ( d) of the Licensing Act, 1908. 266 N E W Z E A L A N D POLICE GAZETTE. [" APRIL 26 EDWARDS, J. :— This is an appeal from the decision of E. C. Cutten, Esq., one of the Stipendiary Magistrates at Auckland, whereby he convicted the appellant of an offence under section 205 ( d) of the Licensing Act, 1908, in that he sold liquor to a pro- hibited person. The appellant is a barman in the employ of the licensee of the Alexandra Hotel. The facts in con- nection with the sale of the liquor to the prohibited person were such that the licensee, even if he had personally sold the liquor, could not have been convicted of the same offence under section 213 of the statute as I have inter- preted that section in Fischer v. Blake ( 12 Gaz. L. R. 213 ; 29 N. Z. L. R. 9). The Magistrate has nevertheless con- victed the appellant, holding that under section 205 the prohibition is absolute, and that it is immaterial, except for the purpose of determining the question of punishment, whether ot not the appellant acted with a guilty mind. The law upon this subject was very carefully considered by the Court of Appeal in The King v. Ewart ( 25 N. Z. L. R. 709; 8 Gaz. L. R. 22). The result of that case is correctly stated in the headnote to the report of the Law Reports as follows :— " The common- law doctrine, that to constitute crime there must bo a guilty mind, applies also to offences created by statute, unless it can be deduced from the statute itself that the intention of the Legislature was to exclude the application of that doctrine. " The true rule for the determination of the question whether or not the application of the doctrine is excluded by the statute under consideration in cach case is to con- sider the scope and object of the statute, and the various circumstances which make the application of that dootrtne reasonable or unreasonable as well as the language of the particular statute under consideration. " There are three classes of cases under the statute law: 1, Those in which, following the common- law rule, a guilty mind must necessarily be inferred from the nature of the act done, or must be established by independent evidence ; 2, those in which, either from the language or from the soope and object of the enactment to be construed, it is made plain that the Legislature intended to prohibit the act absolutely, and the question of the existence of a guilty mind is only relevant for the purpose of determining the quantum of punishment following the offence ; 3, those in which, although, from the omission from the statute of the word " knowingly " or " wilfully," it is not necessary to aver in the indictment that the offence charged was " knowingly " or " wilfully" committed, or to prove a guilty mind, and the commission of the act in itself prima facie imports an offence, yet the person charged may still dis- cbarge himself by proving to the satisfaction of the tribunal which tries him that in fact he had not a guilty mind." The question for determination in this appeal is under which of these three classes of cases this case falls. There can be no doubt, in my opinion, that it falls within the third class. Looking first at section 205, I find that it creates five offences which may be committed on licensed premises by persons other than licensees. These offences are as follows: ( a) Supplying liquor to any person already in a state of in- toxication ; ( b) supplying liquor to any person apparently under the age of eighteen years not being resident on the premises or a bona fide guest or lodger ; ( c) supplying liquor to any child apparently under the age of thirteen years for consumption off the premises; ( d) supplying liquor to any prohibited person; ( e) supplying liquor to any person at a time when such person is not entitled to be lawfully supplied with liquor. Of these five offences, ( b) and ( c) certainly come within the third class of cases defined in The King v. Ewart ( 25 N. Z. L. R. 709; 8 Gaz. L. R. 22). Offence ( a) committed by the licensee or by his agent has been held to fall, under section 181, within the second class of cases : Cundy v. Le Cocq ( 13 Q. B. D. 207) ; McVeigh v. Eccles ( 18 N. Z. L. R. 44). Probaoly under section 205 ( a) it falls within the same class when committed on licensed premises by a person other than the licensee, tbough this does not necessarily follow. Offence ( e) certainly falls within the seoond class of cases. Of tbe four offences created by sec- tion 205, excluding offence ( d), which is the offence charged in this case, two at most must then come within the abso- lute prohibition of the statute ; while as to two of them the person charged may discharge himself by showing that he had not a guilty mind. No presumption, therefore, is to be drawn either way from tbe association in the same section of the statute of the offence charged with the other four offences. It may, however, be observed that as to the offences ( a), ( b), and ( c) persons coming within section 205 may by tbe exercise of extreme discretion keep themselves free from all danger of infringing the law, while as to offence ( e) they may do so by keeping within the times limited by the statute for the sale of liquor. As to offence ( d), no person coming within that section can by an* means what ever keep himself free from risk of infringing the statute, if the construction of the Magistrate is correct. We have now to wade further afield in the statute for tbe purpose of ascer- taining the scope and object of tbe statute in creating of- fence ( d), and we find these conclusively shown by section 213. The inter, tion of the Legislature clearly was, so far as reason- ably possible, to prohibit tbe sale of liquor to prohibited persons. If, however, that had been absolutely prohibited it would have entailed intolerable hardships upon licensees. Accordingly, section 213 is qualified by a proviso exempting the licensee from the operation of the section if he, or his agent actually selling the liquor, hai no reasonable oppor- tunity of knowing and did not know that the person to whom he sold the liquor was a prohibited person. In other words, the Legislature has in express terms brought the offence created by section 213 within the third class of cases mentioned in The King v. Ewart ( 25 N. Z. L. R. 709; 8 Gaz. L. R. 22). The scope and object of section 205 ( d) are plainly the same scope and object as those of seotion 213. The object or intention of the Legislature in section 213 was to prohibit the supply of liquor to persons who were prohibited to purchase it, without oreating unreasonable hardships to innocent persons. Its scope has accordingly been carefully limited to those who cannot show themselves to be innocent. There can be no doubt in my opinion that the same scope and object must be attributed to section 205 ( d). If the appellant in the present case could not have shown himself to be innocent, the licensee would have come within the penalty of section 213. Tne innocence of the appellant relieves the licensee of that penalty. It is absurd to suppose that the intention of the Legislature wa » , while relieving the licensee upon proof of the innocence of his agent, at the same time to expose that innocent agent to a penalty in respect of the same act. The appeal must therefore be allowed, and the oonviction must be quashed. The prosecution being a polioe prosecu- tion, there will be no costs.

The appellant, a bookmaker, was convicted by the Magis- trate on two charges of theft. The facts were that at a race meeting he, offering even money against a horse named Danube, obtained various sums of £ 1 in return for tickets, on the terms that if Danube won the holders of the tiokets on presentation would each receive £ 2. After the betting had closed, and shortly before the race, he divested himself of part of the sum collected. The horse won the race, but the appellant informed his patrons he could only pay their money back. Some were paid, but others who demanded a refund were refused. During a scrimmage a further sum was taken from the appellant's pockets with his connivance. Held, That the convictions should be quashed, tbe facts not amounting to theft within the definition of the Crimes Act, 1908. CASE stated on appeal from a conviction for theft by W. G. Riddell, Esq., S. M., a£ Wellington. The facts appear from the judgment of Chapman, J. Herdman for the appellant. Ostler for the respondent. Cur. adv. vult. CHAPMAN, J. : — Case stated on appeal from a conviction for theft of £ 1 by W. G. Riddell, Esq., S. M. There were two appeals, each relating to a separate sum of £ 1. The appellant, under the assumed name of " Bob Watson," obtained a license under which he carried on his calling as a bookmaker at a race meeting at Trentham, near Wellington, on the 22nd of October, 1910. He attracted the more gullible section of the public by offering even money against a horse called Danube for the ( Jhampion Plate. Many people, including Marshall and North, paid him each £ 1 on the terms that if Dnaube won they were each to reoeive £ 2 on presenting their tickets. There were very few backing any other horse, as the terms for Danube were more favourable than other bookmakers were giving. After tbe betting had closed, and shortly before the race, appellant look from his bag some of 1911.] N E W Z E A L A N D P O L I C E GAZKTTE. 267 the money handed to him by patrons, and divested himself of it by placing it in the custody of some person whose name is unknown. There were other indications of dishonesty which were referred to by the Magistrate. Danube won the race, and the holders of winning tickets presented them, claiming £ 2 each. Appellant informed them he could only pay them their money back. Some of them elected to take this, and were paid. Marshall and North demanded the refund of the £ 1 paid by each of them, but this was refused. While appellant was thua slowly doling out refunds in silver he was attacked by investors, who knocked him about. Silver to an unascertained amount was knocked out of his hand and disappeared. Some person in the crowd put his hand into appellant's pocket, where there was gold and silver, tore the pocket, and got the money. The Magistrate finds that this act was not resisted, and was really connived at by appellant. I take it therefore that it was a dishonest act, like that of getting rid of money before the raoe. When the appellant was in danger from the crowd he was taken in hand by the police, who found £ 1 8s. upon him, and kept him in safety in the stewards' room. While sheltering there he paid £ 2 10s. to investors who were claiming their money, but he failed to pay either £ 11 or £ 5 10s. to a detective who presented tickets for eleven holders. Tickets held by Mar- shall and North were among these. Appellant when oharged with the theft in the stewards' room said that he never refused to pay, and declared that he was willing to pay, and offered to go and borrow money, but took no steps to get it. He did not deny an imputation made then of having got rid of the money before the race was run. He did not give or call evidence at the hearing. The conclusions stated by the Magistrate, which bind this Court so far as they are conclusions of fact supported by the matters above stated, are thus formulated by him : — " ( a.) I determined that the money handed by James North and James Marshall to defendant was capable of being stolen, although it could not be recovered from him by civil process. " ( 6.) That in the ordinary course of events the defendant would, but for his acting in the manner he did, have suffi- cient moneys after the race to repay all investors who had backed Danube. " ( c.) That his deliberately permitting a third person to take from him a part of the moneys handed to him by investors before the race amounted to a fraudulent act indicating an intention on his part not to pay, after the result of the race was known, some of the persons who had deposited their moneys with him. " ( d.) That his statement after the race that he was afraid he could only pay investors their money back was untrue, and known by the defendant to be untrue. " ( e.) That defendant's acts amounted to theft of certain deposits, among which were those of James Marshall and James North." The Magistrate accordingly convicted the accused of theft on each charge. To determine whether the appellant is guilty of a crime, it is necessary to ascertain the exact facts as found, and to examine the relevant provision of the Crimes Act, 1908, in order to see whether the facts as found make out a case of theft or any crime. It is important to notice at the very outset that each of the investors paid his money to the appellant upon a complete and undisputed bargain that he should receive £ 2 in the event of Danube winning. There was no bargain giving him the right to claim the return of his £ 1. Such a return formed no stipulation in connec- tion with the actual agreement, and never was in tbe contemplation of either party. It is an immaterial circum- stance that the £ 2 could not be recovered by process of law. The fact remains thai it is the only thing that the depositor bargained for. I will assume that there was in some sense a right to set aside the bargain and claim a return of the £ 1, but that was inconsistent with the bargain, and was a right that arose irrespective of the bargain and only from the moment when it was set aside : Savage v. Madder ( 36 LJ. Ex. 178); Hampden v. Walsh ( 1 Q. B. D. 189). I accept the Magistrate's statement of the law, which assumes that the £ 1 is a deposit irrecoverable by reason of the concluding words of section 69 of the Gaming Act, 1908, though if the deposit had been in the hands of a stakeholder the case would have been different: Hampden v. Walsh ( 1 Q. B. D. 189) ; Diggle v. Higgs ( 2 Ex. D. 422.) I think, however, that the result would be the same if it could be assumed that the Btake could be recovered from the book- maker just as it could, in accordance with those authorities, be recovered from a stakeholder after repudiating the bet. The appellant was, in this view, in possession of a deposit which ceased to be his by reason of the depositor's repudia- tion of the bargain after the race had been run, but which he was entitled by law to keep in his possession as long as he ohose. If this is a crime it is because it is described as a crime by the Crimes Act, 1908. In the portions of Part IX of that Act relating to theft that crime is exhaustively defined. The definition includes all that would answer the description of larceny at common law and a good deal more. Sec- tion 238 refers to inanimate things which are or may be made movable, and section 239, refers to living things. These two sections exhaust the catalogue of things capable of being stolen; and section 240 defines theft to be the fraudulent taking, or the fraudulent conversion to the use of any person, of anything capable of being stolen. Now, it is quite clear that section 238 refers to movable, tangible things, and not to rights of action or things like rights of action ; and it is to my mind equally clear that section 240 only refers to the things catalogued in sections 238 and 239 as capable of being stolen. One must inquire then, whether the thing here said to have been stolen falls within the definition. I am quite satisfied that it does not. It was not a sovereign or a £ 1 note. That disappeared in the bargain, and the depositor never expected to see it again. It was not even a sum held for the depositor, identifiable in the limited sense in which money in currency is identifiable in equity: In re Hallett's Estate, Knatchbull v. Hallett ( 13 Ch. D. 696). In no sense can the right of which the appellant de- prived the depositor come within the definition of theft referred to. The sum of £ 2 was a debt in some sense, and the sum of £ 1 was a debt in some sense, arising at a different date, but each was a debt merely, irrespective of whether it was recoverable at law or not. There remain only the pro- visions of seoton 242. That section has referenoe to the fraudulent disposal of money received on terms requiring the person receiving it to account to any person for the amount, though not the identical money received. In no sense can the case fall within this section. The £ 1 was not received on terms, but was paid and received under the agreement referred to. Appellant never agreed to any terms. He was simply to pay the bet, which was a dif- ferent sura from the stake, if he lost the bet. The case is a simple case of a dishonest repudiation of a bet, and there is nothing stated which can make it anything else. If there had been a finding by the Magistrate that the whole transaction was a planned trick to get hold of £ 1, and this finding had been supported by the general facts of the case, the result might have been different. There is no Biich finding. On the contrary, the real basis of the finding of dishonesty is the act of the appellant in getting rid of the money after the betting was closed, and again after the race was run ; and this finding is supported by tbe faots. I have not thought it necessary to refer further to the facts supporting the findings of the Magistrate, as I accept them as correct, but hold them to be immaterial. A welsher may be just as dishonest as a thief, but it does not follow that he is a thief as defined by law. Reference was made to the decision of Edwards, J., at Wanganui, in a case of one Barnes, which, judging by a newspaper report, seems to have been very like this. The facts were found by the learned Judge himself on a general appeal, and the result was substantially the same as that at which I have arrived on facts found by the Magistrate. So far as questions of law arose, they were the same as those which arise here, and His Honour's opinion appears to coincide with mine. In each case the appeal is allowed without costs.
