RADIO SETS FOR SALE
PROBLEM FOR COURT.
(Per Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, March 23. A charge of not having a radio dealer’s license was brought against John Heard Ansell, auctioneer, before Mr \V. R. McKean, S.M., at the Police Court.
In pleading not guilty for his client, Mr Finlay said that a firm of radio dealers having assigned their estate to the assignee handed to Ansell several sets to dispose of by auction. The question is now raised, must an auctioneer have a radio dealer s license before he can sell sets. “It seems quite simple to me,’’ said counsel. “But a second-hand dealer can sell anything, can he not?’ asked the Magistrate. “I thought that he could,’’ answered Mr Finlay. Sub-Inspector McCarthy, m handing the Magistrate the regulations dealing with, the matter, as interpreted by the P. and T. Department, said that evidently a license was required. Mr* Finlay applied for an adjournment, so that he could go into the matter, and put forward an argument. He had only been instructed yesterday. “What I want to hear is some argument by the prosecution,’’ said the Magistrate. The case was then adjourned.
