NO-LICENSE DISTRICT.
"FAILURE TO GIVE NOTICE."
ACT LOOSELY WORDED,
AN APPEAL LIKELY
By Telegraph—Press Association. DUNEDIN, May 20.
At the Magistrates' Court at Balclutha on Friday seven firms were charged with failing to give notice to the Cleric of the Court at Balclufcha, of liquor sent into the Clutha No-license District. The evidence showed that in each case proper notice had been received by the clerk at Balciutiia within a few days of the despatch of the liquor, but Mr Bartholomew,S.M.upheld his previous decision that notice should be sent coincident with the liquor, or at all events the day following. He admitted that the dause in the Act was loosely worded, and the position was made awkward by the fact that other Magistrates has fixed a longer time than he had as a full compliance with the law. He would like to see a case stated for argument by the Supreme Court. Defendants were each fined £1 and costs 7s. Leave to appeal was granted.
