There was interesting legal argutnont concerning the meaning of exposing goods for sale. Defendant. opened an exhibition of furs and offered to take orders executed from Wellington. Counsel for the prosecution contended that this constituted an exposure for sale, making defendant an itinerant trader. Counsel for tho defence submitted that offering to take orders from a sample did not constitute exposing for sale and contended that defendant's position was the same as- that of a commercial traveller, except that h® dealt with the public, whereas a trar veil er dealt with shopkeepers. The Magistrate (Mr Watson) said that he was inclined to uphold th« argument for the defence, but reserved his decision.
