Allowed To
Keep Liquor
(N.Z. Press Association)
AUCKLAND, May 25.
The Newmarket Workingmen’s Club is being allowed to keep £5OO worth of liquor seized in a police raid on its premises. In a reserved decision today. Mr M. C. Astley, S.M., fined the club £35 on each of two charges of unlawfully selling liquor, and ordered payment of costs on a charge of unlawfully keeping liquor for sale. He said he would not order confiscation of the liquor. “The club was not a slygrogging business in a criminal sense—rather the type which could qualify for a charter if it reached the necessary standard," he said.
