FIRM FINED
BREACHES OF PRICE REGULATIONS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. This Day. Convictions were entered today by Mr J. H. Luxford. S.M., against Stewart Hardware and Tools Ltd., on two charges of breaches of the Price Stabilisation Emergency Regulations. The firm was fined £lO on one charge, relating to a sale of solder, to which it pleaded not guilty. The firm raised the point that solder sold at September 1, 1939, at 2s 6d contained impurities not present in solder subsequently sold at 3s, but the Magistrate ruled that this was quite irrelevant, it being abundantly clear that the firm was willing to sell 50-50 solder at 2s 6d on the date mentioned, which was all the Court required to be proved.
The other offence, which was admitted, related to the sale of a wrench.
