HOTELKEEPERS FINED.
Wellington, This Day. Judgment was given by Mr Riddell, S.M., this afternoon in the case in which Thomas William Clapham and Edward Fitzgerald, hotelkeepers, were charged under the Licensing A.ct and the Patents, Designs, and Trademarks Act in respect of having placed draught whiskey in bottles labelled case whiskey of another brand. His Worship held that it was not necessary that a sale should take place in order to constitute an offence, as each act of selling or exposing for sale, or having in possession for sale, any goods to which a false trade description was applied, constitutes a separate offence against the statute. He imposed a fine of ,£lO and £$ 10s costs against each defendant on the second information. The charges under the Licensing Act were withdrawn.
