A CASE DISMISSED. H.y telegraph—Press Association. Pahiatua, Last Night. A charge brought <i gainst Michael Fitzgerald, licensee of the Post Office Hotel, Pahiatua, of exposing liquor for sale daring prohibited hours, on March 17, was dismissed to-day. Four men were found in the Ibar on the Sunday in question. Defendant pleaded that he was only "shouting" for his guests, and thought he had a right to do so. Mr. L. G. Reid, S.M., in delivering his reserved judgment to-day, quoted to decisions of Justices Cooper and and pointed out that in Fitzgerald's case, when the police knocked at the side door of the bar, the candle was blown out. Therefore, he did not think that there had been sufficient exposure. There must be exposure, he said, in the ordinary sense. He remarked that if the proceedings had been taken out in a different way the results might have been somewhat different.
