TRADING ON SUNDAY
FINES ON SHOPKEEPERS "Jf increased penalties were placed on them, there would probably bo a decrease in this typo of ofi'ence," said Sub-Inspector Edwards in the Police Court yesterday in referring to charges of Sunday trading preferred against a number of shopkeepers. The maximum penalty was £5, and an increase in the amount of the fines would act as a greater deterrent, said the sub-inspector. Most cases concerned the sale of cigarettes, and such trading was not fair to thoso who observed the law. Some who had been caught trading illegally bad gone as far as to say that they did not know they were committing an offence. For Sunday trading, Edward Frederick Jones, Thomas Livick 'and Reginald Seymour wore each lined £2, and on similar charges Dulcio Patoman and Thelma North were fined £l. For selling cigarettes on Anzae Day, John Edward Shine was fined £l.
