“PASTOR CHARGES FOLK ON RELIEF RIDING IN AUTOS,” Toronto Star. February 27, 1933. Page 17.  ---- Expresses Desire to Make $132 Restitution for Own Parishioner if Court Lenient ---- WILL HELP CROWN ---- Special to The Star Hamilton, Feb. 27.- Appearing to give character evidence on behalf of a parishioner, Ernest Hayle, charged by the city relief department with false pretences, Rev. John Samuel, pastor of St. Stephen's Anglican church, proved to court officials today he didn't come just to talk. 

After evidence had been heard disclosing that Hayle had received $168 in relief during the past six months and at the same time a bank account was being maintained by his wife showing in February a balance of $36, Mr. Samuel took the stand. 

"This man's guilt seems very small when I think of the many people I know who are driving cars and attending sporting events while on city relief. It's true his daughter is working and handing her money over to her mother who banks it to keep up payments on the home, he stated. "I have always known the family to be honest and industrious." 

"You say you know of people who are defrauding the relief department," Crown Attorney Ballard said. "would you help the city to investigate these cases?"

"Gladly," witness responded. "Furthermore, if it's a case of restitution in this case I'll take care of that." 

"That will be $132," Deputy Magistrate McKay informed him. "I'll gladly pay it," Mr. Samuel replied. 

Judgment was deferred a week.
