HIREDY RESOLVE the following brief be taken into careful consideration for the Interest of the members of the 5ydney band as stated in its contenta. BACKROUNDI Pram the attached petition and correspondence it is abvious the Citissene and band counoil of the Sydney Reserve arc not satisfied with its present Police protection. Sydney Reserve is in the unique position of being in the einfines of the City of Sydney and, as outlined In the attached letter from inspector T.M. Oardiner, P.C.M.P., dated September 3.0, 2969 and a follow up letter of October 14 advising the insp. re; confirmation from Headquarters in Halifax, It is suggested that policing of the Sydney Reserve should be the responsibility of the City of Sydney. The City of Sydney Feels, and rightly so , in the light of municipal grants paid by the Province that no tax base exists for the hiring of extra personnel to pollee the Sydney Reserve; also, no agreement exists for police protection between Indian Affairs Smash and the City of Sydney. The real situation, therefore, is no policing on the Sydney reserve; this reality is the camera of our people and my council and results in the petition and correspondence of this proposal. Blue circular 034 dated April 28, 1969 in itself contains the &newer to our problem. The philosophy of the circular meets the reel problem; however, the mechanics of impementation seem tI1 have not too well though. odt as seen by the non-appr v ofe3 requ st of June 18, 1969.

This training has boon agreed to by the Chief of the Sydney Police Department.
CONCLUSION:
The report by the Canadian Oorrootion Association on 'Indians and the lawn , which conmiasioned by your department, calls for expansion and improvoment of the Indian Oonstablo systole. The educational aspect of policing, in that policing is more than patrol and arrest, is as mloh • question of bringing to the community an understanding and respect for the law. It is an aceeptod foot that any town or village constable must Nay upon the cooperation and accoptanoal of the people for his effeotivenoss. Children can be in:inane:1d thoughtful and eonsiderate peace officer whose interest in serving the community is demonstratod by his sonstruotival attitude and approach to his job.
We feel our proposal is sound, tho facts stated in our submission proven, and we request your consideration and approval of our request.

Dear Mr. Smith;
I am writing on behalf of the family of Donald Marshall Junior, serving a life term at the Springhill Institution. Mr. Marshall is serving his seventh (7th.) term for a crime he claims to be innocent of. Mr. Marshall's family have unsuccessfully tried to obtain a three day Christmas pass for their son. ilpparantly the institution requires that young Marshall first admit to his crime. Copies of his letters are enclosed for your information. Prior to this, the family tried to obtain an early parole for their son, and this apparantly was not successful, although he has, on several ocassions, received day passes to attend Brotherhood meetings in Halifax. Any assistance you may be able to give us for Mr. Marshall's early parole and the possibility of obtaining a three day Christmas pass, would go a long way in assisting this young man and his family Ey copy of this letter, we ask the support of Mr. Vince Mac Lean, M.L.A., who has been helpful with various programs and projects on Native Affairs.

Mr. Roy A. Gould Executive Director Native Communications Society of Nova Scotia P.O. Box 961 Sydney, N.S. B1P 6J4 /, Dear Mr. GoUld:
The Ombudsman, Dr. H.D. Smith, has asked me to respond to your correspondence of November 10, 1977, which you wrote on behalf of Donald Marshall Jr.
You mentioned in your correspondence that Mr. Marshall is serving a life term at the Springhill Institution for a crime of which he claims to be innocent. As you, undoubtedly are aware, the question of his innocence or guilt is a court matter, one over which we would have no jurisdiction.
Springhill Institution is a federal penal institution and our office has no jurisdiction over federal government departments or agencies. We should point out, however, that the federal government has established the office of Correctional Investiga- tor, the function of which is to investigate grievances or complaints of inmates in federal penal institutions. Although the Correctional Investigator, Miss Inger Hansen, recently resigned from that office to assume new duties as the Privacy Commissioner with the newly appointed federal Human Rights Commissioner, the office of the Correctional Investigator is still carrying on its very important function. As you will note from the enclosed correspondence, we have taken the liberty of referring your correspondence directly to Mr. Russell Turnbull of that office, asking that he have the matters complained of in your correspondence looked into.

Dear Mr. Gould:
Please accept my apologies for not being able to reach you on January 26, 1978. When I finally returned your call I was informed that you were out of the office.
We have been in contact with Mr. Marshall. We explained our mandate to him and asked him to write to us if he wished our continued involvement.
We try to visit the institutions every six to eight weeks. On our next visit to the Maritimes which is planed for the end of February we will make inquiries concerning statements made by the parole officer as described by Mr. Marshall. I must caution you however, that parole decisions are not within our mandate and that our inquiries will be of a general nature.
With respect to Mr. Marshall's desire for a new trial, this is a matter for the courts and does not come within our mandate. Mr. Marshall has been made aware

This will confirm our recent telephone conference regarding Donald Marshall, Jr., at which time you requested a letter from us regarding the present status of our ale. This will confirm, as well, my understanding that your interest in Donald, Jr. is through your work as a Native Communications Resource Worker, in association with the National Parole Service. Mr. Roy Gould, Executive Director, Native Communications Society of Nova Scotia, first contacted me regarding Mr. Marshall by telephone and his subsequent letter and enclosures to me dated pctober21979., At that time, Mr. Gould forwarded to me exten- g1W7iaterial relating to the Trial, Appeal, and media coverage of the matter. I replied,.to him by my letter of October 30 nt which time I advised that I was prepared to consider the matter actively if Donald, Jr. or someone on his behalf was prepared to provide us with a retainer in the amount of. 200.00.0'Dona1d,- Jr. wrote to me by letter dated November 8, 1979, at which time he advised me that he was then making arrangements to provide me with the requested retainer. We have received his retainer by two instalments in the amount of .$100.00 each, that is November 26 and December 18. We then contacted Donald, Jr. by telephone to make arrangements to interview him. On January 11, 1980, my associate at that time, Lawrence O'Neil, travelled to Springhill and interviewed Donald, Jr. extensively regarding the whole of the matter. Donald, Jr. has apprised us of certain new evidence which, if it can be substantiated, is material to the issue of his involvement in the death of the victim, Sandy Seale. There are provisions in the Criminal Code, specifically Sections 610 and 617 which deal with the introduction and admissibility of fresh or new evidence. A considerable amount of investigative work and research 2/ will be necessary in an attempt referred to above. . to corroborate the new evidence We cannot at this stage express any opinion of success in this matter. as to the likelihood work has been completed, However, when the necessary preliminary position to express our we anticipte that we will be in a cpinion in the matter. As to legal fees, Donald; Jr. has requestedI can only us toindicate to you at this stage that criminal legal work which will crobk upon very substantial and disbursements.
