SENT TO GAOL FOR SLYGROG SELLING.
(PRZSS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) DUNEDIN, January 19. At Balclutha, yesterday afternon, all the sly grog-sellers were proceeded against under the 1881 Act for selling liquor. Mr Fraser said the attitude of the Crown was that Clutha was a no-licensing district, and the law was being persistently and deliberately broken throughout the length and breadth of the slectorate, fines being powerless to check the evil, or make the people cautious. He therefore pressed for imprisonment in all cases.
The Magistrate said he would not shrink from doing his duty, whatever his feelings might be. He sentenced Paterson, Bain, Allan, McDonnell, and Vial, jun., all of whom had pleaded guilty, to ten days' imprisonment in Dunedin Gaol.
