In the case against Edward Walton, heard on Friday, in which a fine of £lO was imposed on defendant for ordering liquor for a pet son without giving that person's pioper name and address, Mr Pownall asked his Worship to review the case, as fresh evidence showed the liquor was delivered to Neilsen's without'Walton's consent. Mr Porter, of the Club Hotel, had given instructions that no beer should be left at his hotel, and Burridge, knowing this, had taken it on himself to leave it at Mrs Neilsen's. W. Burridge and T. J. Porter both gave evidence in support of this statement. Walton, in evidence, said he had ordered the liquor for his friend without any intention of committing a breach "of the Act. He intended it to be sent to the Club Hotel. His Worship stated that he had given Mr Pownall to understand that this was a continuous sitting of the Court, in which case he was altering his decision. Under the circumstances he would reduce the fine to 40s and costs.
