Saturday, October 3. (Before W. H. Revell, Esq., Warden.). Trading without a Business License. — Daniel Alabaster was charged with trading on a gold field without a business license on the 29th ult. Constable Keating stated that he visited the defendant's store, situated at the side of the Arnold track, near the coal mine, and asked him for his business license. He replied that he had none, because he was not carrying on any business ; he only kept a few boarders. There was a small quantity of goods in the store. Defendant now said that the goods referred to came from town about two hours before the constable arrived. They were for two miners who lived with him. The Magistrate said the defendant had escaped by a most fortunate circumstance for him— that he was. living on a reserve which was exempt from the operation of the Gold Fields Act. Case dismissed.
