INVERCARGILL LIQUOR CASE.
DECISION RESERVED. By Telegraph—Press Association. INVERCARGILL, Feb. 2. Rose Poff, a former licensee of the Carriers' Arms Hotel (frequently raided for sly grog), who some time ago was ordered to quit the district, was charged to-day with having brought two bottles of whiskey from Christchurch into Invercargill, a Nolicense district, without notifying the vendor of the destination. The purchase of the whiskey was admitted, but the defence raised was that the intention of actually bringing whisky as far as Invercargill was not proved, and it was contended that the intention of the Act was to prevent the bringing in of liquor for sly grot? purposes rather than to insist on the purchasers advertising the fact that they came from a dry district. The Magistrate reserved his decision.
