OTOROHANGA.

(Own Correspondent.)

At the Police Court on November 23rd, before Msesrs W. Vicary and C. J. Johnson, J's P., Kenneth Renwick was charged on the information of Constable Fraser, that on the 23rd day of November, 1908, at Otorohanga did carry on business in Tuhoro Street as a hawker, to wit, did hawk fruit within the County of Waitomo without having first obtained a license from the County to do so. He was convicted and ordered to pay 12s Court costs, and to take out a license at once. This is the first case brought before the court under the Waitomo County bye-laws in the Otorohanga district, so it is as well for all hawkers and pedlars to make themselves acquainted with the byelaw, which reads as follows: — "The Council shall issue a license to any person whom they deem a fit and proper person to carry on the business of a pedlar or hawker, within the County on payment of a fee of one pound! Every such license shall be signed by the County Clerk, and shall be in force for six months from the date thereof. No person acting on his own account or as the servant of another, shall trade or carry on business in any manner or to any extent as a pedlar or hawker with respect to goods or articles of any description within the County without having first obtained a license from the County to do so."
