SELLING GOODS ON SUNDAY
PROSECUTIONS AT WELLINGTON
(Bi- Telegraph—Press Association)
WELLINGTON, This Day. Charged with selling goods on Sunday, Albert William Best was to-day ordered to pay costs, ten shillings. Defendant’s counsel said that a little boy laid gone into the shop on Sunday with a note which-said: “We would be very glad if you could oblige us, as we bad no money yesterday, and we have nothing in the house to eat.” The note contained two shillings. The defendant gave the boy the goods, and on coming out the boy was stopped by a constable. On similar charges Maud Stewart and John Edward Sears wore each fined £l. “Those shops were watched because children pass them on tlie way to Sunday school, and parents have complained that they spent their money in ways other than for the, purpose for which it was intended,” said Sub-inspector Lopdoll. Little girls had been stopped coming out with sticks of chocolate.
