SLY=GROG SELLING
GROCER FINED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WANGANUI. June 20. John Cant, Guyton Street, appeared before Mr J. H. Salmon, S.M.. in the Magistrate’s Court, Wanganui, today charged with having sold liquor without a licence. Senior-Sergeant L. R. Capp said complaints had been received that Cant was selling liquor at his grocer’s shop. A constable had subsequently purchased four bottles of beer from there. A search had been carried out by the police, and they had found a quantity of ale and stout which Mrs Cant, who was in the shop at the time, said was for their own use. The magistrate said in view of the small amount of liquor which had been sold and as it was the first offence he would impose a fine of only £lO and costs, although Cant was liable to a fine of £5O on a first offence. The liquor was ordered to be forfeited.
