initials and surname are the same and it
has been shown that he carries on busi-
ness at No. d North street Ia this the
man? If he is the man do you suppose
he paid the tax of S25, or do you think the
government gave II to him? A reasonable
douht is on" that addresses itself to the
reason. 1t Is Il doubt that is reasonable.
There is no great mystery about this
doubt You ought not and cannot have
trouble with this question. The term is
not capable of an exact definition. Rea-
sonable is used in the ordinary guage of
the term. The matter Of innocence pes'-
tains here but the statute provides that
the tax having been paid shall be conclu-
sivc evidence. If the respondent paid that
tax he can be convicted. If the tax was
paid on the 12th day of July the respond
crt was common seller on each day
thereafter.
The jury retircd at 1915 and returned
verdict of guilty at II %.
