LIQUOR RAID SEQUEL
NEARLY 100 BOTTLES FOUND TWO MEN FINED £25 Press Association ASHBURTON, Friday. As a sequel to a recent raid on huts in the riverbed, Robert Samuel Stock and Frederick George Sheehan were charged in the Police Court with having sold liquor without a licence. Patrick Hanlon and Douglas Wilkinson were charged with having assisted the others to sell. Stock pleaded guilty, and Sheehan pleaded guilty to selling five bottles. Wilkinson and Hanlon pleaded not guilty. Exhibited in court were 93 bottles of beer and whisky in sugar bags. A constable said the men stated that £BO was spent in liquor in five months. The charges against Wilkinson and Hanlon were dismissed, as there was no evidence of an actual act of assistance. Stock and Sheehan were fined £25 each, in default a month’s imprisonment.
