STORING PETROL

PRDSECUTIDNS UNDER DANGEROUS GOODS ACT [Per United Press Association,] CHRISTCHURCH, September 20. “ Tho defendants had apparently become nervous over the petrol restrictions and had kept over eight and a-half gallons without having a license to do so,” said Chief Inspector Huggins in the court this' morning, when'll prosecutions for storing dangerous goods contrary to the provisions of tho Dangerous Goods Act were heard. “ You are not charged under the new regulation with hoarding petrol, and that is why I am being lenient,” said the Alagistrate to one of the defendants. “If you had been hoarding I would have regarded it much more seriously.” Except in one case where the costs were healvy, the defendants were each fined 20s and costs. The quantities involved ranged from 44 gallons to 1,440 gallons.
