THE RECENT TOBACCO SALE CASE. FINE REDUCED TO £3 A ND COSTS. CAMBRIDGE,Last Night.
At the Resilient Magistrates Court to-dny Ciipt. Jackson R.M. informed Messrs J. Runciman, C, Chitty, C. O'Neill, James Reid, and Capt. Owen, who at the previous Court were linel £12 10s an<l £1 9s 3d costs each, for having unmnnufactured tobacco in their posessession, that the Government had reduced the fine to £3, and the costs in each case. After some demurrage the whole of them paid the money in preferance to going to Mount Eden. It is generally thought that the evidence would have been insufficient to carry a conviction. Parker, the man who grew and sold the tobacco, applied for his expenses, but received a stiff lecture instead from the magistrate.
