BREACH OF ELECTORAL ACT.
Jiy Telegraph—Press Association. CHRISTCIIURCH, June 10. Thomas ■G. Fox, licensee of the Southern Gross Hotel, was fined .£1 on each of five charges of having signed other people's names to claims fcr enrolment under the Electoral Act. It was pleaded, on defendant's behalf, that the offence had been committed without thinking. The Magistrate said that an hote'kecper surely had sufficient intelligence to know that it was illegal to sign other peopled names. Hotelkeepers ought to be specially careful, as an offence of this nature by them gave people cause to say that it was done with a special purpose. If inu:li of it was done during the next fe<" months, the rolls would certainly suffer.
