WITHOUT CHARTER
CLUB SUPPLY LIQUOR TO MEMBERS. FIRST CASE IN DOMINION. (By Telegraph—l’rrrs Association.) DUNEDIN. October 27. “The circumstances are unusual. The case is the first of its kind in Dunedin and rare in the Dominion,” stated the police when the executive officers of the Working Men’s Social Club were charged “that the club, having no charter, they supplied liquor to members, payment being made indirectly by a coupon of the face value of 3d.” The police stated that the club was registered under the Friendly Societies’ Registration Act, and had applied for a charter, which had been declined. The police said they honestly believed that the defendants acted in a mistaken conception of their rights. The club was well conducted and orderly, and drinking activities played a very minor part. Each defendant was fined 10s.
