SUNDAY MINIATURE GOLF.
MAXIMUM FINE AT GISBORNE. '•PLAYED FOR PRIVATE GAIN." (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) GISBORNE, this day. Mr. P. H. Harper, S.M., to-clay imposed the maximum tine of £.5 on Robert J. Kerridge on a charge of Sanday trading, defendant having pleaded guilty to keeping - the Garrison Hall open on Sunday, November 30, for miniature golf. The magistrate said the principle which distinguished the game from golf and tennis as played by members of clubs or on courts rim by a corporation was that in this case the game was played for private gain. Defendant before opening should have interviewed the police. Instead he took the law into hig own hands. Defendant had six days in the week for play, which was .surely sufficient to give him an adequate return.
