IMPORTANT LICENSING DECISION
By Telegraph—'Press Association Masterton, September 13. An important decision affecting nolicense areas was delivered in tho Supreme Court to-day by Mr. Justice Edwards. In the Magistrate's Court Thomas Crass was fined JJ2S for bringing into a no-license district a parcel containing liquor without such parcel being properly labelled. Crass had signed an order for the liquor, but no label was affixed to the parcel, as it was being taken to Crass's homo for his own use. Tine Magistrate held that tho parcel had been "delivered" within the meaning of the Act. and should have a label affixed. Mr. Justice Edwards reversed this decision on appeal and quashed the conviction, holding that the word "deliver" in the Licensing Act meant tho transfer of liquor frqm one person to another.
