SUNDAY TRADING
SCHOOL-MONEY SPENT. [PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, August 7. Charged with selling goods on Sunday, Albert William Best was to-day ordered to pay costs, 10/-. Defendant’s counsel said that a little boy had gone into the shop with a note, which asked: “Be very glad if you could oblige us, as we had no money yesterday, and we have nothing in the house to eat.” The note concluded that it contained two shillings. Defendant gave the boy the goods. On coming out, the boy was stopped by a constable. On similar charges, Maud Stewart and John Edward Scears were each fined £l, “These shops were watched, because children pass them on their way to Sunday School, and parents have complained that they spent money in ways other than for the purpose for which it was intended,” said Sub-Inspector Lopdell. “Little girls have been stopped when coming out with sticks of chocolate.”
