When a prohibition area is contiguous to districts in which license obtains the working of the law presents many palpable absurdities, says the Southland limes. One of those has just come under notice. Messrs Moffett and Co. have placed an olmcl* with Messrs ftoopo and Go. for IUU cases of beer The order was, of course, I'ivcn at Messrs Boopo’s depot a few yards I across the boundaries of the Invercargill no-license district. But the beer is manufactured in Invercargill, and Messrs Moll'ctt and Co. have to convey the liquor to their stores at the Jilutl. There oracis arc received from customers in Invcrcar (rill, and the beer is returned to the towr f n small quantities.
