CHEMISTS CHARGED
WOMAN OBTAINS DRUGS
(United Press Association)
AUCKLAND, 19th June.
A sequel to a woman recently being sentenced in the Supreme Court for obtaining drugs from chemists by promising over the telephone that prescriptions would be sent was the prosecution of John Morton Dickey, chemist, of Great South Road, and John Weatherall, chemist, of Dominion road, on charges of supplying to the woman drugs not dispensed pursuant to prescriptions. Both the accused, through counsel, pleaded not guilty. The police said that the woman, Hazel Carswell, had been nursing a sick man, who had already received drugs through doctors’ prescriptions. Promises subsequently made over the telephone to send prescriptions had not been complied with. The Magistrate (Mr McKean) reserved his decision.
