ALLEGED SLY-GROG SELLING.
By Telegraph—Press Association, GORE, March 5.
The last of the sly ,grog cases, that against Mary A. Byron, was dismissed, as the police evidence was not corroborated to the Magistrate's satisfaction. | Mr Hanlon, who defended the accused, in referring to the methods of obtaining convictions, said it must be remembered that a constable was paid by results over and above his salary, (Inspector Mitchell: "Not necessarily.") The other witness was a common informer, who admitted that he was s:>, not for money but for the love of the thing. There is a great deal of feeling in town against the informer, who was taken from the Courthouse to the railway station by back ways under the escort of two constables.
