Mowlem, S.M., in the New Plymouth Ma gistrate s Court yesterday morning, when dealing with a number of cases in which some dealers in tobacco and cigarettes, or their employees, were charged with supplying boys under 15 years of age with cigarettes. ‘ < A complaint had been made by the -k** School authorities, and ns a re* suit of investigations these proceedings wore brought. All the casses were in respect of High School boys, whose ages 1 anged from 10 years to 14 years. The defendants were Ivy Feakins (two chaiges), j ictor Hamblyn, F. A. James and W. H. James. ’
