BISHOP AND THE LAW
LICENSE FOR GARDENER POLICE AVARNING IGNORED. LONDON, April 4. Dr Trower, formerly Bishop of North-west Australia, and now rector of Chale, was fined 40s at Newport, Isle of AA'ight, for employing a gardener without a license. He explained that when he returned to England in July he paid a yearns license fee, but the police said this expired on December 21. He considered it a swindle, but be had since obtained a fresh license. The Bench refused to mitigate the penalty, because Dr Trower had ignored a policeman’s warning and refused to pay a nominal penalty of 10s before the summons was issued. Dr Trower told the Bench that thirty years’ absence from England prevented him from becoming acquainted with every petty regulation. The summoning of him, he said, suggested blackmail.
