DISTRIBUTING LEAFLETS
AN OFFENCE AT WELLINGTON Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. Two youths pleaded guilty in the Magistrate’s Court to a charge of distributing leaflets in Mein Street. Senior-Sergeant Lander said that it was an offence under the by-laws for persons to distribute leaflets in any public place in Wellington. The two youths, who were employed by an advertising firm, had been giving out hand-bills in connection with an essay competition. Counsel for the defendants said that they handed out the leaflets to school-children on instructions from their employers. The magistrate remarked that the object of the by-law was probably to prevent the streets being littered with paper, and ordered the defendants to pay costs.
