SAL OF HONEYMEAD.
Although the maximum line for selling intoxicating liquor without a license is £5O, a penalty of £lO and costs was imposed on Charles Albert Oldman, apiarist, of Waiau, in a Court held at Oulverdcn on Thursday, before Mr H. I*. Lawry, S.M. Summing up, the Magistrate said that the case differed considerably from some others in Canterbury, in which there had bjen a sale of liquor by the glass. Oldham, it was stated, had been unable to dispose of his honey, and had converted a large quantity into honeymead, or “honey wine,’’ and had sold some of it. He pleaded guilty. Superintendent D. J. Cummings appeared for the police and Mr J. H. Macdonald for the accused. Mr Macdonald said that 400 gallons of the wine had been seized, but the minimum amount for which a license was granted was 500 gallons.
