LEGAL ABSURDITIES.
SHOPKEEPER'S CRUSADE;
LONDON, June 2.
Signor Eabaiotti, an Italian shopkeeper, at Haverfordwest, was recently lined 5/ for having sold chocolates on a Sunday. He was so angry that he set to work to inquire about similar absurdities of Sunday trading, including the scope of an archaic Act of 1677. Acting as a common inforrtier, Rabaiotti was instrumental in having newsagents fined for selling papers on Sunday. He lias also discovered that anyone walking outside his own home can be summoned under the 1G77 Act; so can a man. whistling in the street oil Sundays. He proposes to continue to act as a common informer until the-absurdities of the law are recognised.
