LIQUOR FOR A BOY.
A PUBLICAN FINED. By TsJejrraph.—Press Association Christchurch, Last Night. On May 14 a youth named Middleton, aged 18, was convicted for drunkenness and having assaulted a waitress at a restaurant and sentenced to a month’s imprisonment, but he was subsequently released by the Prisons Board. A sequel was heard in the Magistrate’s Court to-day, when William Nidd, licensee of the Royal Hotel, was charged with selling liquor to a person under 21 years and with selling liquor after hours. The evidence disclosed that the boy had three drinks of port wine and brandy, Geoffrey and Abart paying for two and Vincent Ward for the third. For the defence it was contended that the boy appeared to be over age and did not look intoxicated. The charge of selling after hours was admitted. On the first charge defendant was fined £7 10s and on the second £5.
