DEALINGS IN GOLD
REGISTER OF TRANSACTIONS FINE IMPOSED FOR NEGLECT. (Pee United Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH June 13. A warning that gold dealers who did not abide by the coined gold regulations traded at their own risk was issued by the magistrate (Mr E. D. Mosley), today when fining Thomas Hornsby, a dealer, £5 and costs on each of two charges of failing to keep a register of transactions, as demanded by the regulations.
The. magistrate said the offence was considered serious, the Act providing for a fine up to £2OO, or imprisonment. The police said the defendant had dealt extensively in sovereigns, and his register had been kept in a slipshid manner. The defendant was inclined to treat the law in a trifling manner.
