--By Telegraph — Copj rigbt).
Christchurch, Tuesday The magistrate, Mr. Mosley, was baffled this morning when he was ealled upon to jud'ge the ages of three young women and decide whether they were under the age of twentyone years. He thought one might be 21, hut as for the others he said, "It is exceedingly difficult at first glance to tell a woman's age nowadayg." Because of this doubt he dismissed
a charge of selling liquor to persons under 21 years of age preferred against Thomas Aspell, licensee of the Eastern Hotel. Aspell, however, pleaded guilty to selling liquor after hours, and was fined £3, with costs. The police said the offence oc- , eurred on Sunday, September 17.
