FINE FOR SUNDAY PLAY. {TRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGBAM.) GISBORNE, December 5. Mr Harper, S.M., imposed the maximum penalty of £>s on Robert J. Kerridge on a charge of Sunday trading, defendant having pleaded guilty to keeping the Garrison Hall open on November 30th for miniature golf. The Magistrate said the principle which distinguished the game from golf and tennis played by members of clubs, or on courts run by the corporation, was that in this case the game waß played for private gain. Defendant before opening, should have interviewed the police. Instead he took the law into his own hands. Defendant had a six days' week, which was surely sufficient to give him an adequate return.
