SALE OF TOBACCO.
BOYS MAY BUY FOR OTHERS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, August 27. A decision of public interest has been given to-day by Mr. J. S. Evans, S.M. A iocal tobacconist (Robert Armit), his assistant, and a number of employees of MilHgans' tailoring establishment were charged with the unlawful supply of tobacco and cigarettes to a lad under 15 years of age. Evidence was given that some employees of Milligan had been in the habit of sending boys to Armit's for supplies for their own use. The Magistrate held that no offence had been committed in the sending of the boys for cigarettes,' as the section under which the charge was laid was aimed at the supply of cigarettes to boys for their own use. The judgment establishes the right of any person to send a boy for cigarettes, and relieves a. shopkeeper of liability for serving a boy with cigarettes or tobacco if he knows that the articles are intended for consumption by another person.
