BREACH OF LICENSING ACT.
FINE OF £2O IMPOSED.
At the local S.M. Court yesterday Mr. J. L. Stout S.M., gave reserved judgement in the case heard last Court day when the police proceeded against R. MeMullian, licensee of the Family Hotel for a broach of the Licensing Act, in that he supplied a Native with liquor for consumption off the premises, contrary to the Act.
The S.M. gave judgement as follows :
“In ray opinion the defendant must be convicted. The evidence discloses that the native paid for the liquor which the defendant handed to Proctor for delivery to the native. The word “supplies” includes a sale or a gift to a native or manual delivery of liquor whether to he consumed by a native or not See Rhodes v. Bowden 9 G.L.R. 555. Here there was a sale of liquor to the native and it makes no difference that the defendant and the native used Proctor as a go-be-tween. Defendant will be convicted and lined £2O and ordered to pay costs.” Costs amounted to £1 16s Od.
