PETROL COUPONS
(P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, Nov. 12. "If it had been the intention of the Legislature to prohibit the transfer of coupons, that could have been done at any time by an appropriate amendment to the regulations," said Mr. F. F. Reid, S.M., in the Magistrate's Court today when he gave a reserved judgment in a case involving the transfer of petrol coupons. He supported the opinion of a North Island Magistrate that the coupons were transferable, and dismissed the* information against Charles Greenslade, who was charged with making unauthorised purchases of 40 gallons of petrol between May 13 and September 25. When the case was heard on November 9 Greenslade stated in evidence that the petrol had been purchased ••'..with coupons given to him by customers of the Edgeware service station, at which he was an attendant. . :
