At the Magistrate's Court to-day, two publicans were charged with Sunday trading. The evidence went to show that spirits were supplied to a little boy for a sick lady, and his Worship said that the only comfort he felt in having to inflict a penalty on offenders of this kind was the fact that the public mind would be so directed to the ridicnlousness of the law on this subject as to induce the people to force an amendment on the House. He thoroughly approved of the restriction of Sunday traffic, but as the law stood at present publicans would be debarred not only from selling liquor on Sunday in cases of emergency, such as sickness or accident, but also from even giving it away. The minimum fine was inflicted. J. H. Shaw's Services. A largely attended public meeting was held to-night for the purpose of discussing the host manner of recognising the services rendered by Mr J.
