1 lU.EG.4L TRANSFER. ; DANNEVIRKE, April 30. I i S.M. heard a case in which a Jocal auctioneer of 36 years’ standing wa9 charged with having sold by public auction without a license. Defendant, who is a member of an auctioneering firm, was at the time not the holder of the license, which was held by his son, who was absent on the day of the sale. Defendant therefore arranged with another auctioneer to have his license transferred to him to enable him to conduct the sale. The town clerk being absent, defendant arranged to pay the transfer fee on his return, which was done. Defendant contended that it was the practice to transfer auctioneers’ licenses between firms. The Magistrate, in inflicting the minimum penalty of £lO and costs, pointed out according to the Act an auctioneer could not transfer his license to another jbuctioneer unless the latter were going to Ml for the auctioneer holding the licenso.
