IN THE SUPREME COURT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
TO: THE QUEEN'S HOST
EXCELLENT MAJESTY
TO WIT:
THE HUMBLE PETITION of ALLAN HERBERT HULL of
1311 Beach Avenue, in the City of Vancouver, in the
Province of British Columbia, SHEWETH THAT: On April 24th
1952, Corporal 0. Mottishaw a game warden at the City of
Nanaimo, in the Province of British Columbia employed by
the Game Department of the Province of British Columbia,
took possession of a double barrel shotgun Serial Number B7308
manufactured by Gibbs of London and Bristol; the aforementioned
shotgun was the property of your suppliant Allan H. Hull
and had been stolen from his cottage at Qualicum Beach
some time during the period April 5th 1952 and April 24th
1952. Corporal O. Mottishaw seized the shotgun above-mentioned
from one Sheppard who was carrying it without a license or
permit.
On applying to the game office for return of the
shotgun, your suppliant was informed that it could not be
produced as it had been stolen from the office of the game
warden at Nanaimo some time during the week-end of May 3rd
4th 1952. Up to the present date the shotgun has not been
recovered.
The shotgun was purchased in 1944 for $180.00 and
was in first class condition when stolen and your suppliant
has been informed by the representative of Gibbs & Co. in
Canada that the shotgun cannot be replaced for $300.00.
A
L.
It has been established at a recent trial of
Sheppard in the County Court in Nanaimo held on September
12th 1952 that the shotgun seized by Corporal Mottishaw
was the shotgun stolen from your suppliant's dwelling at
Qualicum Beach and that it was in truth the property of
your suppliant Allan H. Hull. It has further been established
that the Game Department of the Province of British Columbia
are now unable to return the shotgun to the rightful owner,
Allan H. Hull.
YOUR SUPPLIANT THEREFORE HUMBLY PRAYS that your
Majesty will be pleased to do what is right and just in the
premises and cause your suppliant to be re-imbursed and
compensated for loss so sustained by him as aforesaid.
DATED this 18th day of September, A.D. 1952 at
Vancouver, British Columbia.
(sgd) "Allan H. Hull"
Suppliant.
