UNLAWFUL ART UNION.
SECRETARY FIXED £7. [Per Press Association.] Blenheim, July 8
In a case against the Secretary of the Hospital Bazaar, in connection Avith a raffle wherein the prizes included a Jersey bull, a trip to Sydney, and a section of land, a plea of guilty was ' entered and counsel asked for mitigation of the fine, owing to the fact that the money was raised for the benefit of the sick and suffering, not for individual gain. The Magistrate said the offence was committed deliberately, in the face of a solemn warning by the Minister for Internal Affairs. It was an attempt to set the law at naught. If he inflicted a heavy fine it would not reach any individual. If he imposed a nominal fine it would encourage the offence on future occasions. Defendant was fined £2 on each charge with costs 21s.
