Glanville Williams in his Criminal Law, The General Part (2nd ed., 1961) distinguishes between these meanings: [...] It is this second sense, according to Williams, which is employed in criminal law: [...] In the case at bar, the parties have employed the notion of "motive" in the second of Williams' senses.

Berkheiser v. Berkheiser and Glaister - [1957] SCR 387 - 1957-04-12
Supreme Court JudgmentsMines and minerals
In Martyn v. Williams 6, a licence was granted to the defendant "to dig, work, and search for china clay, and to raise, get, and dispose of the same ... for the term of 21 years". [...] Martyn v. Williams [supra] decides that they do. To the like effect was the decision in Lord Hastings v. North Eastern Railway Company 8, where a covenant to pay for the privilege of a way-leave on which to make and use a railway, based on a rate on the coal carried to a certain port, was held to run with the reversion. [...] In Martyn v. Williams 15, a profit à prendre in certain minerals had been granted to the defendant for a term of years by the owner in fee, who subsequently conveyed all his estate to the plaintiff.

Kowbel v. R. - [1954] SCR 498 - 1954-06-26
Supreme Court JudgmentsCriminal law
It is remarkable however that, as mentioned by Glenville L. Williams, LL.D., in an article on Legal Unity of Husband and Wife, 10 Modern Law Review 16, there seems to be no case in which the rule has been applied by an English Court. [...] The origin and the ensuing and changing legal import of the doctrine of conjugal unity has been considered by Williams (supra) whose views, in this respect, may substantially be summarized as follows: The legal maxim that husband and wife are one person in the eyes of the law has a biblical origin. [...] is not that of an ‘unity of person’, but that of the guardianship, the mund, the profitable guardianship, which the husband has over the wife and over her property.” And Williams’ conclusion is that, with the intervention of equity and later of statute, it became crystal clear that a woman on marriage retained a legal

Gauvreau v. Page - (1920) 60 SCR 181 - 1920-02-03
Supreme Court JudgmentsTransportation
Quand le cadastre de la paroisse fut préparé en 1877 ou 1878 par le témoin Lepage, William Page, fils de Henry Page et père de l'intimé, lui fournit des renseignements au sujet de ces terrains, et Lepage donna un numéro sur le plan officiel au chemin, en raison, dit-il, des renseignements qu'il reçut de Page. [...] En 1881, William Page a vendu à la mère de l'appelant un emplacement situé à l'angle du chemin Page et du chemin maritime, qui est le terrain desservi par l'aqueduc dont l'intimé se plaint. [...] Cette petite route est celle qu'on allègue être devenue un chemin public, et l'intimé prétend que la description qu'en fait l'acte démontre que William Page réclamait, en 1881, la propriété de ce chemin.

Supreme Court JudgmentsTransportation
In the latter year, William Fortune, D.P.S., assisted by son, Joseph Fortune, laid out the balance of this township and partially subdivided it. [...] A witness, William McKenzie; examined at the trial, told of seeing there three posts about forty-five years before the trial took place. [...] It is upon these later surveys, and not upon those of William Fortune in 1798, that the finding of the road allowance between Hawkesbury and its gore and the gore of Lochiel is based.

Duha Printers (Western) Ltd. v. Canada - [1998] 1 SCR 795 - 1998-05-28
Supreme Court JudgmentsTaxation
As at February 8, 1984, the shares of Outdoor were held by Marr’s Leisure Holdings Inc. (“Marr’s”), of which William Marr and his wife, Norah Marr, owned 62.16 percent of the voting shares. [...] Although Mr. Quinton was a close friend of both Emeric Duha and William Marr, and had served as a director of Duha No. 1 since 1974, it is common ground that he, Emeric Duha, and William Marr were not “related to each other” within the meaning of s. 251 of the Income Tax Act. [...] While Mr. Quinton was a longtime friend of the Duha family and a director of Duha No. 1, he was also a friend of William Marr and no actual evidence was adduced to suggest that his loyalties lay with the Duhas.

Asamera Oil Corporation Ltd. v. Sea Oil & General Corporation et al. - [1979] 1 SCR 633 - 1978-10-03
Supreme Court JudgmentsTorts
Although in Williams v. Peel River Co. the market appears to have risen and then fallen, it seems that the plaintiff was only claiming, as damages for detention, the value at initial default less the value at judgment. [...] (Vide Dawson v. Helicopter Exploration Co. Ltd., supra; Pitfield & Co. Ltd. v. Jomac Gold Syndicate Ltd. et al.[30], at p. 165 (Ont. C.A.); Williams and Cameron v. Keyes and Pyramid Mining Co. Ltd.[31], at p. 568 (B.C.S.C.); Shaw v. Holland[32].) [...] But so far as the circumstances permit, they are to be the ground of conclusions of probability: Williams v. Peel River Land and Mineral Company Ltd. The case is analogous to that of a breach of covenant to re‑deliver shares and prima facie the defendants are held to have prevented the shares from remaining the property of
