IMPEDING THE POLICE.
[per press association.] Invercakgill, December 12. Mr M'Carthy, S.M., gave judgement in the case of the Police v. Sarah Jackson, licensee of the Criterion Hotel, charged with unnecessarily delaying to open the door to Sergt. Bowden. His Worship said much had been made by counsel of the fact that the ovidence of the police was not similar, but in his opinion that was favour of its truth. On the other handjjthe evidence of the persons in the hotel was practically unanimous on the points regarding the opening of the door, that there was no drinking and that no light was in the bar. On the other points they contradicted each other. Some witnesses even contradicted themselves. He believed the police and fined defendant £2, the license to be endorsed. Counsel for defendant said it was evident that His Worship was prepared to give credence to the conflicting evidence of two constables against that of half a dozen witnesses and intimated that he would appeal against '.he decision.
