AUCTIONEERS’ LICENSES.
MUST NOT BE TRANSFERRED,
Dannevirke, April 30. A case was before the Magistrate (Mr. J. L. Stout) in which a local auctioneer of 35 year’s’ standing, was charged with having sold by public auction without a license. Defendant, who is a member of an auctioneering firm, was at the time not a holder of a license, which was held by his son, who was absent on that day conducting a sale elsewhere. Defendant therefore arranged with another auctioneer to have his license transferred to him to enable him to conduct the sale. The Town Clerk being absent, defendant arranged to pay the transfer fee on his return, which was done. Defendant contended that it was the practice to transfer auctioneers’ licenses between firms.
The Magistrate, in inflicting the minimum penalty of £lO, and costs 7s, pointed out that according to the Act, an auctioneer could not transfer his license to another .auctioneer unless the person whom the license was being transferred was going to sell for the auctioneer holding the license.
