Barclay, Now Zealand High Commissioner for Australia, on the resumption of trade between that countrv and the Dominion, was expressed by Mr 11. Turner, president of the New Zealand Fruit and Produce Merchants and Auctioneers' Federation, yesterday. Speaking at Gosford, New South Wales, Mr Harclay said there were now no trade rivalries between the two count l ies. "Mr Barclay is to be commended on the statement," Mr Turner said, "lie also dealt very properly with the old argument about potatoes and oranges. It is foolish to raise trade barriers between two neighbour countries, almost as foolish a.s would be the imposition of trade barriers between the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Our federation fee's thai New Zealand and Australia should co-operate closely in all matters of trade." Mr Turner recalled that 20 years ago there had been substantial trading between the two countries, but in the intervening years differences had boon allowed to creep in. Mr Barclay, a.s a former Minister of Agriculture and Marketing, knew the position, and his speeeh was a step in the right direction. LIQUOR CHARGES MAORI SENT TO GAOL Charges of aiding and assisting some person unknown in the supply of liquor without a licence, and of keeping liquor for sale, were denied bv a Maori, Richard de Thierry, labourer, aged 30 (Mr Sullivan), before Mr J. H. Luxford, S.M., yesterday. Police evidence was that three servicemen approached accused, who obtained liquor for them. Several bottles of whisky found on accused's premises wore produced. Mr Sullivan said it was clear that accused had not been keeping liquor lor sale. The offence of sly-grogging was now a thing of the past. "This is the ordinary case of a man acting as an agent tor a sly-grogger, and ho is just as much in the business as a man acting for himself," said the magistrate. Sentence of one month's imprisonment was imposed on the charge of aiding in the supply of liquor, the other count heiuji dismissed. ONE CHARGE PROVED MAGISTRATE IMPOSKS KINK Charges of keeping liquor for sale and keeping premises nt 2.'1 Airedale Street for the consumption of liquor wore denied by a quarter-caste Maori, Kdwin Marsh Thomson (Mr. Dickson), before Mr J.

HAMILTON, Friday "In this case the defendants are charged under the Kmergency Regulations Act, 1939, and as long as the police present a case in which there is reasonable suspicion of a breach having been committed the onus is then on the defence to prove innocence," said Mr S. 1.. Paterson, S.M., in Hamilton today, when Ronald Carswell Sisson and Jean Mcßae (Mr Johnson) were charged with keeping liquor for sale at Morrinsville without a licence. A plea of not guilty was entered. The exhibits consisted of 45 dozen bottles of beer. Evidence was given that the male defendant purchased a truck in .Hamilton, giving another name. He purchased I") dozen bottles of beer from a Paeroa brewery.
