NO-LICENCE LAWS
LIQUOR KEPT FOR SALE UNEMPLOYED MAN FltfED [BV TELEGRATH —FKESS ASSOCIATION] INVERCARGILL. ThurscbJ On a charge of keeping liquor for sale in a no-licence area, Robert Ross was to-day convicted and fined £lO- - police said that men had been seen coming "out of defendant's pla<* with bags of liquor. A search of the premises had been made and 67 bottles of beer had been found in a bedroom and 60 empty bottles in the washhouse. Ross was living apart from his wife and was unemployed. "The position in lnvercnrgill is somewhat peculiar," remarked the magistrate, Mr. W. H. Freeman. "The people voted prohibition 80 years ago, bit there does not appear to be any prohibition. If you want to get a glass of beer, instead of going to an hotel you have to go' to a brewery and two gallons. That's not prohibition; it® purely no-licence, which is not no-liccnoe at all, but it's, the law. It opens the way to this class of offence."
