HOSPITAL PATIENTS SIGN PETITION SHOP-KEEPERS FINED “Why doesn’t the Hospital Board make provision for the selling of fruit for patients on Sundays?” This question was asked by Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., at the Police Court today, when a number of cases of Sunday trading were heard. Florence Cunningham was charged with selling goods and exposing goods for sale on August 2G. Her husband, Patrick Cunningham, appeared on a charge of selling goods on Sunday. Mr. Blomfield, for defendants, argued that the shop was open only from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sundays for the convenience of people who wished to buy fruit tor patients at the hospital. The shop was. in Park Road. “A petition has been signed by more than 200 hospital patients, asking that some provision be made. The petition will be forwarded to the Government,” said counsel, who admitted the facts. “That can’t alter the law as it : stands,” said the magistrate, who fined Florence Cunningham £1 and 10s costs for selling on Sunday, and ordered her to pay 10s costs for expos- ; ing the goods. Patrick Cunningham was lined £1 for Sunday trading. A number of other fines, ranging ] from 10s to £3 were imposed for Sunday trading and exposing goods ; for sale.
