LIQUOR SUPPLIED TO NATIVES
For supplying liquor to a native, a former mill worker at Te Whaiti, who has since left the district, Kenneth R. Ingrani, was fined £5 in the Magistrate's Court yesterday. Anzac Matelcuare, for aiding and abetting the offence, was fined £2. For the latter defendant, Mr. E. Roe said that the liquor — 17 dozen of beer — was not being consumed when Constable W. Bidois visited Matekuare's place. It was still stored in cartons in readiness for a Christmas party. If the liquor were confiscated, that would be an additional penalty. His Woi'ship: V%ere is the authority for its confiscation ? 'If it is to be handed back, defendant will be committing another offence. When the liquor is retained, it generally goes down the police drain — or some other appropriate place." Ag far as Mate- . kuare was cor.cerned, -it was a teehnical offence. Henry Williams, for aiding the supply of liquor to himself, a native, was fined £2 also.
