SUNDAY TRADING.
SHOPKEEPERS FINED. "The law makes no distinction between rich people and poor," said Mr. Riddell, S.M., this morning in dealing with a case of Sunday trading, in which the defendant pleaded she had to keep a family together by her little business. Four cases came before the Court. Geo. Chong, a Chinese storekeeper, at Rona Bay, pleaded guilty to keeping his premises open on Sunday, the 10th May. Mr. Herdman submitted that the defendant was a sort of public convenience for week-end parties at Day's Bay and Rona Bay. The sub -inspector replied that other storekeepers did not open on . Sundays. His Worship inflicted a fine of £1 and costs 16s, with the option of 48 hours' imprisonment. Andrew Moran, for keeping open his shop in Tory-street on the same date was fined a similar amount with a default of three days' imprisonment. Similar fines were imposed on Mary Barry, Taranaki-streot, and Mary Curry, Tory-street, in regard to breaches of the law on the 3rd May, and the 26th April respectively.
