PHOTO OF AEROPLANE
ILLEGALLY TAKEN BY WOMAN. A FINE OF £2O IMPOSED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, June 22. “I intend to stop it and stop it sharply,” said Mr E. C. Levvey, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court this morning when imposing a fine of £2O with costs on Edith Phyllis Guest, housewife, on a charge of taking a photograph of an aeroplane contrary to the Photography Emergency Regulations, 1939. Guest pleaded guilty and elected to be dealt with summarily. ’ Senior-Detective H. Nuttall said the woman had taken a photograph showing her husband, an aircraft sergeant, sitting on an aeroplane. The photograph would undoubtedly have been of great value if it had fallen into enemy hands. For the defence, Mr F. D. Sargent said the picture was not very plain and the offence had been committed quite openly without sinister intent. It was a case of gross carelessness. “Worse than gross carelessness, lunacy,” commented the magistrate.
