“It, does not seem to be. generally knowii,” said Senior-Sergeant Edwards in the Magistrate’s Court at Auckland, “that, even when a person merely borrows, a gun he must register it when it has been in his possession seven days.” The Senior-Sergeant added that in the case of a rifle it was nesecsary to otbain a permit even before borrowing it. Defendant in the case before the Court stated that the gun in question had been left in his care by a man who stated that he would call for it in a few days. He had not returned, and after a time witness had gone to the police to register the gun. As a result he was charged with having it in his possession longer than seven days without registering it. A fine o'f 10s was, imposed.
