WATCH FOR POLICE
ASSISTANT’S EVIDENCE OF SUNDAY TRADING A statement that she had been told by her employer to ask all Sunday customers whether they were policemen, and, if they were, not to sell them chocolates or cigarettes, was made by a shop assistant in the Police Court this morning. This statement was first made when the shop assistant, Florence Griffiths, was charged with Sunday trading last Friday. The case was adjourned by Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M.. so that the proprietress of the shop could be called; this morning Ethel F. Hyde was also charged with Sunday trading. Mrs. Hyde said that Miss Griffiths had been discharged for disobeying instructions about Sunday trading. She had been taken on again only to be dismissed for other reasons shortly afterward. Miss Griffiths had been told to sell nothing over the counter on Sunday. The magistrate dismissed the case , against the defendant. Griffiths, and fined Mrs. Hyde £1 and costs. “I prefer to believe the girl,” he said. •‘She had nothing to gain by selling ! on Sunday.”
