Pharmacy fined
(iV.Z.’ Presi Association) WELLINGTON
A Newtown pharmacy which has had narcotics taken from its safe five times in burglaries during the last, few years, was fined $250 for no longer keeping the narcotics in the safe. The pharmacy pleaded guilty in the Magistrate’s Court to five charges of not keeping the narcotics in a locked safe. The charges related to five different drugs. Counsel for the pharmacy said that the manager felt that his way of storing the drugs was more effective than keeping them in the’ safe, and he produced -a; magazine. from the Chemists’! Guild with an article sup-' porting this view. Mr G. P. Monaghan, S.M.,i agreed that in the light of this information, the regulation requiring the .drugs to be kept in a safe might not be particularly effective. But there had been a breach of the regulations, and he fined the pharmacy $5O on each charge.
