WORKING ON SUNDAYS. - those wo may not. * A man who follows, say, a commercial occupation, such ajs that of a clerk pr an auctioneer, who wishes, to make some alterations to his house, carrying out the work on a Sunday, may do so without let or hindrance as far ais the law is concerned. A carpenter, however, is not in the same happy position, because if he were to work on a Sunday he would be following his calling, and would break the law. This peculiar position was referred, to in the Magistrate’s Court, Wellington, on Friday, when William Robert Johns was charged with working at his trade on a Sunday. Johns, it w'as sta,ted, was a joiner, and on a. recent Sunday was seen by a constable to be putting a bay window in hit? house at Lyall Bay. Tiie Magistrate (Mr H. Page) : “If he had noth een a joiner he would not have been prosecuted.” Turning to defndant the magistrate said: “-You come btipk here next Friday and I will tell you my view on the charge.”
