SUPPLYING LIQUOR TO SOLDIERS
.THREE MEN CHARGED NO WRONGFUL INTENTION [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, September 20. Appearing on summons in the Police Court to-day three men admitted charges of supplying intoxicating liquor to soldiers for consumption elsewhere than on licensed premises. The police said the incidents happened when the members of the Third Echelon were marching down the street. Two of the men each handed a bottle of beer to soldiers and the third handed half a bottle of whisky. Counsel for one man said his client handed to a former employee sandwiches, sweets, and a bottle of ale. He was ignorant of the regulations, the primary object of which was to stop soldiers taking liquor away from licensed premises. The magistrate, (Mr Mori and) said supplying was not done with a wrongful intention, and ordered each defendant to pay costs. He also suppressed their names. The public, he said, would now know the meaning of the regulations.
