CHEMIST CHARGED
DOCUMENTS THROUGH POST DECISION RESERVED Two charges of sending indecent documents through the post were preferred against Carol Adolph Smith, a chemist (Mr. Sullivan), in the Police Court yesterday, before Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M. Detective-Sergeant Kelly said that, defendant., a manufacturing and importing chemist, sent the documents through the post to the stationmasters at Taumarunui and Mount Eden. The letters contained requests that the circulars enclosed should be distributed to the members of the staff. The prosecutions were brought under the Offensive Publications Act, 1910. Mr. Sullivan said that neither the sub-ject-matter nor the wording was indecent. He submitted that under the circumstances no offence had been committed. The magistrate reserved his decision.
