(UNITED rfPBESS ASSOCIATION ) Wellington, Weduesday. A, -petition against the election of Mr Fisher fortheTe Aro Licensing Committee was dismissed. It was proved he was A shareholder m the United ImportersHConipany at the d»te of the election , but k .not now. Mr Wardell, R.M., dismissed the case on the ground that the petifiQn 'did 'not satisfy the Act. vAOhe cinaeof the licensing elections it was, known that an effort would be made tp prpyent the sale of liquor at the EtiitfT ■ racecourse. The publicans can vassed vigorously but forgot to enquire m what licensing district the course was situated. They" triumphantly returned their 1 " men for the Hutt district only to see 'five staunch teetbllars elected for the Epuin district, m which thfe Wellington Eacmg Club's course lies. A petition has now been lodged against the whole of this committee on various grounds of irregularity, arid as it is understood the right H,6 sell drink on the racecourse is m serious jeopardy, considerable interest is felt lix the result.
