UNLICENSED RADIOS
oNUMEROUS PROSECUTIONS "My set was not in working order, so I did not take out a licence," stated a defendant in the Magistrate's Court yesterday, when asked to explain why he was in possession of an unlicensed radio set. Upon a radio inspector giving evidence that he had tested the set and received j broadcasts by it, defendant remarked that I he failed to see how that could be pos- j sible. "It would not work the day after the inspector called," he added. "You must have turned the dials tho wrong way," said the magistrate, Mr. W. R. | McKean, in imposing a fine of £1 and : costs. I Twenty-three other owners of radio sets j were convicted of similar offences, tho fines ranging from 10s to £l, with costs in each case. A further prosecution is to be heard in the Children's Court this morning, the owner of tho set in question being a schoolboy.
