ELECTION CANVASSER FINED.
Christchurch, Sept. 30,
Mr. Day, S.M., to-day fined Clyde Winthorp Cracroft Wilson £5 for having signed a false and fictitious name to a claim for enrolment. Accused was also charged with wilfully misleading the Registrar of Electors, but this charge was dismissed. Wilson was a canvasser employed at 10s. a day by the licensed Victuallers’ Association to canvass the city and place names on the roll. He sent in the claims to the Association, who forwarded to the Registrar those that were formal. The defence was that the name “ Bowmout ” was added to a lady claimant’s name by inadvertence and gross carelessness, but that there was no desire to mislead. The Victuallers’ Association, which had acted in good faith, was exonerated from blame.
