Six Months’ Gaol For Making Whisky
(New Zealand Press Association) INVERCARGILL, September 2“It would be futile to fine you again,” Mr G. A. Nicholls, S.M., told Gerald Peter Enright, aged 63, of Timpanys, in the Invercargill Magistrate’s Court this morning when sentencing him to the minimum term, six months’ gaol, on charges related to the distilling of Hokonui whisky. Enright pleaded guilty on Thursday to a charge of keeping and using equipment for distilling spirits without a licence and to another of unlawfully making spirits. He was then remanded in custody for sentence.
1716 terms of six months on each count are to run concurrently.
