WOODVILLE.
(By Telegraph.- Own Correspondent.) . Thursday, 7.15 p.m.' Before Mr James, S.M., Edwin Gaik, chan, licensee of the Masonic Hotel, was charged with supplying liquor to a per. son other than a bona-fide traveller during prohibited hours. Tho case arose out of the visit of tho Marlborough football team in August. The players visited Woodville on a Sunday, and put up at tho Masonic. Tho police visited the place during the evening, and found a party being supplied with drink. All the witnesses for the prosecution, with tho exception of a constable, swore that Clarke, a boarder in the house, asked them to drink, and the defence mainly relied on this. The Magistrate disrairsod the ca s o, and said ho was satisfied there was nothing more than an ord-. navy “shout” by a boarder. Tho case occupied all the morning. Two '.volVaiown residents of Woodvillc passed away during tho last few days. Mr Charles Monteith, who died of consumption, was well known in the Bush, also in tho South Island. Henry Kay was a highly esteemed citizen, and before coming to Woodville resided in Christchurch. Death was caused by Addison’s disease.
