Rough Translations of Quebec Blasphemy Cases



Five prosecutions for blasphemous libel have been recorded in Canadian law reports. Four of them occured in the Province of Quebec and three of those are in French. Below, I have linked to my (very rough) translations of the cases into English.

R. v. Pelletier (1901), 6 R.L.N.S. 116

R. v. Kinler (1925), 63 Que. S.C. 483

R. v. St. Martin (1933), 40 R. de Jur. 411 (Que. Sess. Ct.)

My law review article analyzing these cases and more is available at SSRN
