SUNDAY TRADING CHARGE
A plea of guilty was entered by Mr. W. Perry at the Magistrate's Court today on behalf of Rodney Panklmrst, who was charged with keeping open a cabaret known as "Rodney's Club" at Seatoun, for the purpose of transacting business on Sunday. The charge was laid as a result of police visits to the club on Sunday, July 23, and Sunday, July 30. Sub-In-spector Martin said that constables went to the club late.on Saturday nights and found that dancing was continued on Sunday mornings, the business of the club being conducted in the ordinary way. * Mr, Perry asked' that in view of the fact that the defendant had already been heavily fined, a nominal penalty should be imposed. The maximum fine for the offence, he pointed out, was £5. ] The Magistrate imposed a fine of £2.
