ILLEGAL BOTTLE LABELS
CHARGE OF POSSESSION DEFENDANTS FINED £2O [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON, Thursday Possession of incomplete labels intended to be used by hotelkeepers for bottling liquor sent in casks was the cause of the prosecution in April of Campbell Young and Arthur Young, trading as T. W. Young and Co., on charges of being in possession of illegal bottle labels. Mr. E. Page, S.M., delivered judgment to-day in which he took the view that such labels came within the prohibition of section 209 of the Licensing Act, 190 S. The magistrate imposed the minimum fine of £2O on one charge and fixed security for appeal at £7 7s. On the ground that the case was intended to draw attention to the provision in the Act, it was asked that six similar charges against six city hotelkeepers should be held over until the appeal was dealt with, but the police intimated that there was no intention to withdraw those other proceedings, and said that the circumstances were different.
Mr. Page adjourned these cases until to-morrow week, when it would probably be known, he said, whether or not an appeal was pending.
