Ross, was living apart from his wife and was unemployed. “ The position in Invercargill is somewhat peculiar,” commented the magistrate (Mr Freeman). “The people voted Prohibition 30 years ago, but there does not appear to be any prohibition. If you want to get a glass of beer, instead of going to an hotel, vou have got to go to a brewery and get two gallons. That is not Prohibition. it is purely No-license, which ia not No-license at all. But it is the law/ and it opens the way to this class ptfenc®.,” • ' •
