UNLIMITED PENALTY.
A PECULIAR POSITION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Invercargill, Last Night. Mr. G. Cruickshank, S.M., held, in cases under the Animals Protection Act to-day relating to being in illegal possession of oppossum skins, that regulation 13 was ultra vires, in that the penalty was unlimited. It was the first instance he had ever seen of an unlimited penalty in a by-law or statute. The regulations being invalid meant that there was no penalty for the orfence of being found in possession of skins in a close season, and the information was dismissed.
