BREACH OF THE LICENSING ORDINANCE, His Worship gave judgment on the information against Messrs Marshall and Copelaud, for a breach of the Otago Licensing Ordinance, 1805. He said, “ 1 come to the conclusion that the fact of the defendants having complied with the provisions of the Distillation Act, ISOS, does not absolve them from compliance with the provisions of the Otago Licensing Ordinance, 1805; the former being, in my opinion, simply for distillation purposes, and not interfering in any way xvitli the provisions of the Otago Licensing Ordinance, under which the information is laid. The defendants rre, therefore, fined ten pounds, together with costs.” PETTY OFFENCES.
