DECISION RESERVED.
CHARGE AGAINST GOLD BUYERS. s U'HESS ASSOCIATION T2LE3BAM.) DUNEDIN, August 19. A case interesting to old gold and metal buyers was heard in the Magistrate's Court when Cyril Benjamin and Elsie Brache were charged that being second-hand dealers they purchased goods after hours. The police stated that Benjamin was in charge of the Mew Zealand Gold Buying and Smelting Company, which had its head office in Christchurch. Brache was employed by the London Gold Export Company, her employer being in \Vellington. In July the police advised both that they should be licensed, and they took out licences as secondhand dealers, having done which they were bound to comply with the provisions of tho Act as to hours. Counsel for the defence referred to a recent North Island case in which the Magistrate held that one such company was not a second-hand dealer. He submitted that it was unnecessary for defendants to be licensed and even if they had licences they were not using such when buying gold. Decision was reserved.
