A FINE POINT.
WHAT IS A SECOND-HAND DEALER? PURCHASE OP STOLEN ARTICLE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Invercargill, Last Night. A peculiar case'was heard by Mr. fiCruickshanks, S.M., to-day, when a cycle agent and repairer was charged with carrying on the business of a secondhand dealer without a license. The case concerned a stolen bicycle, which had been purchased by defendant in the course of his business from a man who gave a fictitious address. The police contended that a person who did any second-hand dealing hesides his own business was within the Act, and required a license. For the defence it was argued that the isolated purchase of a second-hand machine did not bring a cycle agent within the definition of a second-hand dealer. If that were so erery man who accepted a second-hand article in part payment for a new one would require a license. Defendant had never before purchased bicycles from people he did not know personally, and in this case he had taken the name and address of th<> vendor. Decision was reserved.
