A SERIOUS ASPECT.
AN UNLICENSED WIREMAN. ATTENDED WITH GRAVE RESULTS. A plea of guilty to carrying out certain • wiring work on the stage of the Huntly Town Hall without having the necessary license to permit of his dorng this class of work, was entered by Bruce Stewart, before Mr. Wyvern Wilson, S.M., in the Hamilton Magistrate’s Court this morning. Mr. 11. T. Gillies, who prosecuted, asked for an adjournment to enable expert -evidence to be called. He understood that defending counsel was disputing the seriousness of the offence, and evidence will therefore have to be brought to show conclusively that the matter was one of first importance in the interests of public safety. The way in which the work had been carried out in this instance might have resulted in a holocaust.
His Worship entered a conviction and agreed to postpone sentence.
