ILLEGAL SALE OF LIQUOR
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
DUNEDIN, 30th June.
In the Magistrate's Court this afternoon, Henry James Mulqueen was charged with having permitted drunkenness on the premises of the Shamrock Hotel and also with having sold liquor when the premises should have been closed. Ho was fined £5 and 7s costs on each charge and his license was ordered to be endorsed. In connection with the first information, tho Magistrate said that if the case had merely rested on the licensee foolishly allowing a painter named Abcrnethy, who was working on the premises, to take his .turn at "shouting," he would havo been inclined to deal .th the matter leniently. Ho could not, however, overlook the fact that an attempt had been made to mould Abornethy into a satisfactory witness, which had involved a serious allegation against the police.
