Correction

In a news report dealing
with a demand for higher
jurers’ pay, appearing in the

2nd issue of July, this publica-
tion referred to juries hearing
lengthy Doukhobor trials in
Nelson. ’

It has now been brought to
our attention that this refer-

re 1

ence should apply only to the
trials of certain members of
the Sons of Freedom sect, ac-
cused of misdemeanours.

We are pleased to insert this
correction as no offence was
intended to members of the
orthodox Doukhobor commun-
ity.
