SLY GROGGING
WOMAN FINED £25. ;Bv Telegraph- -Per Press Association./ WELLINGTON, August 22. In Petone Court, Bertha Constance Janson; married, who is keeping a confectionery shop, was charged with selling beer. A constable gave evidence that he found two men with a companion in defendants’ shop, under suspicious circumstances. These three men were called to give evidence, but the police characterised them all as hostile, as they declared the statements they had made to the police were untrue, and gave fresh evidence on entirely different lines. This was that one of tlie men had purchased a crate of a dozen bottles from a brewery opposite, and the shop acted as a depot for orders. The S. M. said the witness had evidently come to Court with a concocted story and most of their evidence was on a par with that. He fined defendant £25.
