LIQUOR AT RELIEF CAMP
BREWER FINED £SO “TOUTING FOR ORDERS’’ Press Association NELSON, Friday. Several charges of illegally selling liquor wore heard before Mr. T. E. Maunsell, S.M., in the Nelson Magistrate’s Court today. W. Barakat pleaded guilty to two charges. The police stated that a constable had purchased wine in small quantities from defendant at a time when several men and women were on tho premises being served. Defendant was fined £lO on the first charge and £ 2 on the second. W. Lawson, brewer, of Wakefield, was charged with selling beer, the delivery of which was not made from a brewery, depot or bottling store. In imposing the maximum penalty of £SO, tho magistrate said lie was satisfied that defendant was carting liquor to a relief camp, touting for orders and selling wholesale and indiscriminately. “These relief camps are certainly not brewers’ benefit institutions,” said the magistrate, “and I am going to take a very serious view of the case.” Harold Inwood, of Gowan Bridge, on two charges of selling liquor without a licence, was fined £lO and costs on each charge.
