LIQUOR FOR DANCE
WARNING TO YOUNG MEN CARRIER’S CASE DISMISSED (From Our Oicn Correspondent) PAPAKURA, Today. Liquor for a dance was the basis of a case heard in the Papakura Magistrate’s Court this morning, before Mr. F. H. Levien, S.M., when A. E. Cossey was charged with selling liquor without a licence. Evidence was given by three youths, C. M. Youngman, R. H. Wren and A. G. Smith, that a party of seven or eight, including themselves, sent word to Cossey to bring out a five-gallon keg of beer to a dance at Ararimu on May 24. and they would pay him. Cossey obliged, and the individuals of the party paid in their share. They considered the beer belonged to them and not to Cossey. The defence as outlined by Mr. Grierson was that Cossey, who is a carrier, acted as an agent, and had no pecuniary interest in the beer, except to reimburse himself for the cost. The case was dismissed, the magistrate commenting that the case should be a warning to the young men concerned. one of whom, aged -17 years, admitted having hacl liquor.
