WINE FROM GROCERS.
BREACH OF THE ACT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Night. At the Police Court to-day. Jervis Wright, a grocer, was fined £lO on a charge of selling intoxicating liquor, namely, Wincarnis wine, which contained 30 per cent, proof spirit. The defence was that it was not medicated wine within the meaning of the Act, which limits the strength to 10 per cent. The Magistrate held that if it were medicated it was not exempted, as it contained over the maximum allowed by law, and if it were not medicated it was intoxicating liquor.
