DUNEDIN.
November 8
The Dunedin Fire Brigade have resolved that, in consequence of the short notice, they could not send a team to Napier to compete for prizes at the next delegates meeting.
At the Police Court yesterday H. C. Bennett was fined for selling bottled beer without a license. He explained that he bottled for a firm of brewers, and was under the impression that the license taken out by the firm allowed him as agent to make sales by the bottle. His Worship expressed his opinion that it was a gross case, as so much profit had been made of it. He had to decide whether it was a case of gross impudence or gross ignorance, and would give the accused the benefit of the doubt. A fine of £10 would be imposed, with costs 7s ; in default of payment 14 days' imprisonment.
