SLY-GROG SELLING
SLAUGHTERMAN SENT TO GAOL. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, February 9. “We are passing through dreadful and anxious times and one of the consequences is that large numbers of our young men are away from home influences and exposed to temptations,” said Mr . Justice Callan today in sentencing Reginald Joseph Parfitt, slaughterman, aged 32, to six months’ hard labour for slygrog selling in the city, having been found guilty by a jury. The judge said that not only New Zealand young men but those of another nation were removed from their homes and exposed to those who indulged in “this pernicious form of war profiteering.”
Prisoner had shown obstinate determination to pursue his illegal course, said the judge?, having been three times convicted of selling liquor without a licence.
