May a boarder buy liquor for a friend during the hours when licensed premises are closed ? If it can be proved that such friend has not come upon the premises for the express purpose of. obtaining liquor ,a boarder may purchase and supply a, friend, but not otherwise. In a case heard before Mr C. R. Orr-i Walker, S.M., at Upper Hutt, Myi'a Naylor failed to satisfy the Magistrate that a boarder named Scott, who had purchased liquor for a man named Keys on a. recent. Sunday morning had a legal right so to do, and as Mrs Naylor, wife of the licensee, was charged with aiding and abetting in the commission of an offence, she was fined £2 and 16s costs. The peculiarity of this offence is. that Mrs Naylor could not be convicted of selling to Scott, who, as a boarder, has a right to be supplied with liquor, yet by aiding and abetting Scott in supplying a friend she was guilty. Charges of selling after hours against Mrs Naylor and opening after hours and exposing liquor for sale against the .licensee, L. M; Naylor, were all dismissed.
