J. G. Dangerfield, Q.C., for the respondent.
The judgment of the Court was delivered orally by
1. The Chief Justice‑‑This is an appeal as of right. This is not a case of "no evidence" in support of the trial judge's findings of fact and the appeal is essentially an invitation to this Court to review the sufficiency of the evidence. This we may not do and therefore the appeal must be dismissed.
Judgment accordingly.
Solicitors for the appellant: Simkin, Gallagher, Winnipeg.
Solicitor for the respondent: The Department of the Attorney General, Winnipeg.
