Description

April 8 Toronto Justice Donald Steele of the Supreme Court of Ontario dismissed a motion by Morris Manning, lawyer for the five men charged as keepers of a common bawdy house in the Barracks case, which requested that the Supreme Court find the bawdy house laws unconstitutional and declare that the Provincial Court of Ontario had no jurisdiction to try the defendants. Manning appealed the ruling to the Ontario Court of Appeal, Ontario's highest court, on April 10, 1980. (See also September 8, 1980.)
