A BREWER’S LICENSE.
The Resident Magistrate at Wanganui delivered judgment on Wednesday In the case brought by the Town Clerk against J. P. Watt, brewer, for sel'ing bottled beer without taking out a wholesale license under the Licensing Act of 1881. The defence had been that a brewer’s license under the Beer Duty Act of 1880 was sufficient. Mr Ward, R.M., did not consider that was a license that entitled a brewer beer otherwise than in casks or hogsheads. He based his judgment on a decision given by Justice Richmond in Napier in an appeal case. A fine of 10s was inflicted, the Magistrate considering that defendant had some color for his action, as the Customs officers were satisfied he was right.
