“EXPENDITURE ON LUXURIES”
HEAVY FENDS IN ANTLSHOUTING OASES. Press Association. WHANG'ARBI, March 15. As a result of police surveillance no fewer than nineteen anti-shouting cases came before the Whangaroi Magistrate’s Court, before Mr Burton. The proceedings were protracted. Thomas Marshall, for treating at the Parua Bay Hotel, was fined £2O. Thomas Blood, licensee of the same hotel, had to answer two charges for knowingly selling liquor illegally. Ho was fined £3O for “permitting treating,” and convicted and discharged on a charge of “knowingly selling.” The magistrate commented that “the law was not only intended to prevent you allowing drinking to excess and disgracing the King’s uniform, but to curtail unnecessary expenditure on luxuries when it is all-important to help the State by every means to bring tho war to a successful issue.”
