WIREMEN'S CERTIFICATES. ELECTRICIANS PROSECUTED. Failure to surrender their registration certificates when demand was made on them, ca'ieed two electrical workers to appear on summons before Mr. C. R. Orr Walker, S.M., in the Police Court. Mr. R. Meredith, who prosecuted on behalf of the Electric Wiremen's Registration Board, said that neither of the defendants was now carrying on electrical wiring work and that two demands had been made on them for the return of their certificates. The charges were brought under section 25 of the Electric Wiremen's Registration Act, 1925. Under the Act these certificates were the property of the board, and it wae not desired that there should be any possibility of them falling into the hands of unauthorised persons, when the persons to whom they were issued were no longer carrying on business. Mr. Meredith added that the object of the prosecution was to give publicity to the necessity for the return of the certificates. No penalty was asked for by the prosecution. The magistrate ordered each defendant to pay costs.
