The liquor was supplied on receipt of a money-order telegram, and the contention of the police wag that a transcript of a telegram wa« no such order as was required by the Licensing Amendment Act, 1914, and that the original document made by the person ordering the liquor was the one that must be filed.

Decision was reserved.
