Breach of Censorship.
Charges arising out of the censorship regulations resulted in tines of £l5 and £lO respectively being imposed on Luke Edward Brough and Swailes Printing Co., Ltd., in the Magistrates' Court, Napier, yesterday, Brough was charged with having 200 cards printed showing countries, towns and numbers with intent to interfere with the effective censorship of letters in New Zealand and elsewhere, and the charge against Swailes was of printing cards to Brough's order and omitting the printer's name and place of abode. "In November last, Brough went to Swailes Company and had the cards printed." said Chief Detective H. Nuttall. "He says the plan was conceived in his billiard room by members of a reinforcement. and by this means relatives could check up on where men were. If a man wrote that Hie temperature was 86 degrees in the shade it meant that he was in Fiji and in the town, of Suva.”
