WORKED ON SUNDAY
MAGISTRATE DISMISSES CHARGE P.A. NELSON. Nov. 26. “I think I must have regard to the present .state of emergency,” observed the Magistrate (Mr Maunsell) in dismissing a charge against Charles Ching, farm contractor, for working at his calling on a Sunday at Richmond. “It seems to me that the farming potentiality should be exploited to the fullest. I don’t think anyone with humane intentions would take exception to the suggestion that it would be desirable for all agricultural land in New Zealand to be tilled from daylight Io dark for a suffering humanity. The case does not involve the employment of a servant and according to an authority the law .aims at preventing that (practice 'rather than at the preservation of the sanctity of the Sabbath.” The police prosecuted on a complaint by the Richmond Town Clerk.
