UNUSUAL COURT CASE
SALE OF RAILWAY TICKET. A CONVICTION RECORDED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. An unusual case came up before Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M.. in the Magistrate’s Court to-dav, when May Annett was convicted and ordered to pay costs for having offered a railway ticket for sale. The charge, said Senior Sergeant Lander, was laid under section 26 of the Government Railways Act, 1908, and the penalty for the offence was £2O. The woman had come from Auckland on an excursion, and bad been persuaded by friends to remain with them until after the time when her ticket expired. She had advertised the ticket, which was a second return half, for sale in a local paper. This came to the notice of the authorities, and she was summoned. She stated that she acted in ignorance of the law.
