SECOND-HAND.
PURCHASE, OF A BICYCLE. AN INTERESTING CASE. (Per Press Assoniatiou,, INVERCARGILL, This Day. A peculiar case was heard by Air. G. Cruickshank, S.M., to-day wlien a cycle agent and repairer v.as charged with carrying on the business of a second hand dealer without a license. The case concerned a stolen bicycle, which had been purchased by the defendant in the course of bis business from a man who gave a fictitious address.
The police contended that the person who did any second hand dealing besides his own business, was within the Act, and required a license. For the defence, it was argued that the isolated purchase of second hand machines did not bring a cycle agent within the definition of a second hand dealer. If that were so every man who accepted a second hand article in part payment for a new one would require a. license. Defendant had never before purchased bicvdes from people whom he did not know personally, and in this case had taken the name and address of the vendor. Decis ion was reserved.
