A BUSY MORNING
IN CHRISTCHURCH COURTS. Christchurch, Mar. 28. In the Magistrate’s Court this morning, Mr. Bishop, S.M., delivered himself strongly on the subject of breaches of prohibition orders. One offender he declared to be an habitual drunkard, and sent him to Potoroa Home for two years. Another was fined £3, or the alternative of a month’s imprisonment, Mr. Bishop declaring he was an “ utter waster ” and was 1 rapidly qualifying for a more drastic sentence. The man who supplied the liquor to the. prohibited person was fined £3, or one month’s imprisonment, with the warning that next time he would get the full benefit of the Act. The case in which a publican was fined for serving boys of 17 with liquor gave the magistrate a text for the remark that if boys had nothing better to do after parade than go to hotels it did not say much for the volunteering business. A hawker who sold stinking fish got a month’s imprisonment with hard labour.
