OPEN ON SUNDAY
Miniature Golf Course OWNER HEAVILY FINED By Telegraph.—-Press Association. Gisborne, December 5. The maximum fine of £5 was imposed on Robert J. Kerridge to-day by Mr. Harper, S.M.. on a charge of Sunday trading, the defendant having pleaded guilty to keeping the Garrison Hall open on November 30 as a miniature golf links. , ... The magistrate said that the principle which distinguished the game from golf and tennis played by members of clubs or on courts run by a corporation was that in this case the game was played for private gain. . The defendant before opening should have interviewed the police, but instead he took the law into his own hands. The defendant had six days a week, which surely was sufficient to give him an adequate return.
