WOODVILLE
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) Thursday.
Mr W. P. James, S.M., fined two men five pounds each for being illegally on licensed premises, and a third three pounds and costs for procuring liquor for a prohibited person. In the latter case the person for whom the liquor was alleged to have been obtained swore that accused did not purchase any liquor for him, and stated that a man, whose name he could not remember, shouted a bottle of beer for him. The Magistrate said the story was a myth. He allowed no time to pay the fine, and ordered, in default of payment, one month’s imprisonment with hard labour.
The entries for the show, which takes place next Wednesday, are fifty in excess of last year, which was a record.
