The police explained that the liquor was bought at £1 a dozen and sold at £1 4s, a system of lockers operating. The magistrate, Mr S. S. Preston, remarked that the best brains in New Zealand had tried to find a way around the Act, but had been unable to do so, and he told the secretary of the branch that the only way to conduct a locker system was for each member to buy his' own beer and put it in the locker himself.
The secretary told the court that new officers had recently been elected, and they were not anxious to transgress the law.
