LIQUOR TO SOLDIERS
HANDED WHILE ON /MARCH BREACH OF ACT (By Tcicgrapn.— Press Association) AUCKLAND, Friday Appearing on summons in the Police Court today, three men admitted charges of supplying intoxicating liquor to soldiers for consumption elsewhere than on licensed premises. The police said the incidents happened when members of the Third Echelon were marching down the street. Two men each handed a bottle of beer to soldiers and a third handed a half-bottle of whiskey. Counsel for one man said his client handed to a former employee a parcel containing sandwiches, sweets and a bottle of ale. He was ignorant of the regulations, the primary object of which was to stop soldiers taking liquor away from licensed premises. The Magistrate, Mr J. Morling, said the supplying was not done with wrongful intention. He ordered each defendant to pay costs, and also that their names be suppressed. He remarked that the public would now know the meaning of the regulations.
