Source of Petrol
A defendant in the Police Court in Dunedin, giving evidence in support of his plea of not guilty to a charge of being unlawfully on licensed premises, stated that he was a temporary barman at the hotel in question, and had gone in his own car on a message for the licensee. “For what purpose is petrol issued to you?” asked the magistrate Mr, H. W. Bundle, S.M., and defendant admitted that the spirit was issued for the purposes of his main occupation, which was that of a stock agent. The magistrate directed the police to inquire into the circumstances of the petrol issue. The charge against the defendant of being on licensed premises was dismissed.
