NO-LICENSE IN INVERCARGILL.
A FINE OF £SO AND COSTS. INVEROARGILL, August 6. Margaret MAuliffe was to-day fined £SO and costs (£lO 9s) for keeping liquor for sale in Invercargill, a No-license district. Mr M'Carthy, S.M., found that several persons, some boarders and others outsiders, had purchased beer in their own names for the defendant in order to enable her to obtain large rapplies without the knowledge of the police. The story of a witness that he poured a five-gallon keg of beer into a sink because the defendant objected to boarders having liquor in the rooms was not believed by the magistrate, who found that the reason of this statement was to account for so much of the beer consumed in the hou;e. The magistrate stated that if the defendant was again convicted under the same section of the Act it would be impossible to extend the option of a fine. Charges of illegally dealing in liquor against Mrs Mulligan and Mrs Fox, who were having whisky when the police raided MAuliffe's house, were then taken, the magistrate convicting and discharging the defendants.
