PRINTERS FINED
UNREGISTERED PRESSES MAGISTRATE’S COMMENT (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Several Wellington printers received a reminder that the. law requires them to register presses, being each fined the minimum of £5.
The police said that a number were reputable printers, but some were, not known, and one had a press in a motor garage. A number had registered their presses since receiving summonses. Mr. F. W. Stilwell, N.M., remarked that it was surprising that men in the printing trade did not know the Act. which affected them so vitally.
It was not for the magistrate to question the advisability of the law, he said, in reference to the representations of counsel when suggesting that the charges should be withdrawn. He had to administer the law as he found it.
