LIQUOR IN RAFFLES
REMINDER OF ILLEGALITY j (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Monday •'lnstances have been brought to my notice of the sale of alcoholic liquor by Dutch auction, in mystery parcels, by raffles and by other means at public and private functions arranged for the purpose of raising funds for patriotic and other purposes,” stated the Commissioner of Police, Mr D. J. Cummings, today. "The sale of liquor by these means is a breacti oL’ the licensing laws and renders the seller and responsible officials liable to heavy j penalties. “No doubt the persons who may have disposed of the liquor in this way have done so in good faith, were unaware that they were breaking the law, and were actuated by zeal to assist some worthy object. But however worthy the object, it must be understood that the furtherance of its cause by the employment of illegal methods cannot be sanctioned. I It is therefore desired to inform the I public that the disposal of liquor by Ithe methods mentioned is not permissible and action will have to be taken against any person offending m future.”
