Housie case dismissed
PA Auckland A church parish could not be charged with selling too many cards for a housie game because the parish was not a legal entity, a District Court judge said yesterday. The ruling was made by Judge Blackwood in the District Court at Auckland when a case was called before him that on May 1 St Joseph’s Parish in Grey Lynn, Auckland, committed an offence against the Housie Regulations, 1975, in that, being an. organisation conducting a game of housie, it issued more than 400 cards at 10c each. Dismissing the charge, the Judge said a parish was not a legal entity and the charge was therefore a nullity.
