CENSORSHIP BREACH
TWO WOMEN TO PAY PINES
Two women were fined in the Police Court to-day for a breach of the Censorship and Publicity Emergency Regulations. Detective Sergeant Trethewey, who prosecuted, said the cases were not as bad as some recently before the Court.
Joyce Irene Kavanagh, who pleaded guilty, said that, what she had mentioned in a letter sent to a soldier pen friend overseas was taken from a statement made by Mr. Nash, which had appeared in a newspaper. "I think you went just a little further," said Mr. J. H. Luxford, S.M., who fined defendant £1 and costs.
"It was just the lack of news, really," explained Violet M. Bennetto, the other defendant, in pleading guilty. Mr. Trethewey said the matter which was the subject of the charge was contained in a letter sent to an officer overseas.
A fine of £1 and costs was imposed
