Blackstone, William. Commentaries on the Laws of England, Book IV. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1769. [...] With respect, the comparison to Williams is flawed.

Supreme Court JudgmentsStatutes
[101] In The King v. Williams, [1944] S.C.R. 226, Mr. Williams was fined as a result of his conviction under the Foreign Exchange Control Order, P.C. 7378, made under the War Measures Act, R.S.C. 1927, c. 206, for attempting to export a quantity of gold from Canada without a licence. [...] [102] There is a clear parallel between Williams and this case. The two provisions were enacted for very different purposes, as I discussed earlier.
