PROHIBITED CLUTHA. [by telegraph—press association.] Dunedin, last night. At Tapanui, within the Olutha prohibition district, Mr Stratford, S.M., was engaged hearing further cases of alleged slygrog selling. Janies O’Dowd was first charged with selling liquor on Sunday. The principal witness was a man, named Fearnley, employed by the police, at police pay, but, combining with it, travelling for Wrigglesworth and Binn’s, seeking orders for photographs. He deposed to ordering four drinks for the Rev. Mr Tosswill, Dallas (in Government employ), O’Dowcl himself, and'the Rev. Mr Tosswill denied having been served on the night in question, and Dallas’ evidence was somewhat hazy. He could not say what drink he had, or what the others had, or whether money was paid, but he saw something like coin on the table. After the defendant had explicitly denied the evidence of Fearnley, the case was dismissed. A second charge was laid, and will bo heard to-morrow. There are in all six informations. Evidently Fearnley was responsible for recent raids in other parts of the Clutha.
