LICENSING BREACHES
THE TIMARU SENSATION. A TAME FINALE. (Per United Press Association) v TIMARU, June 14. After the farewell dinner tendered to Mr R. S. Forsyth at Grosvenor Hotel many rumours were current that all the guests numbering about 80 would be prosecuted for beifag on licensed premises after hours, the function having lasted till 10 pm. These proved to have no foundation, the proceedings being taken only against the convenors Frank Dalton McGovern and Cecil Maitland who were to-day convicted and discharged for the technical offence LIQUOR WITHOUT LICENSE. FINE OF £5O. CHRISTCHURCH, June 14. Robert Arthur Crouch and Mary Crouch, boardinghouse keepers, were jointly charged with selling liquor without being licensed. Constable England gave evidence that he visited the house in company with two other men and purchased four bottles of beer. Three bottles were consumed on the premises, and the third was produced, opened in court, and pronounced beer. The defence was a denial of the sale the defendants stating that the liquor, was purchased by them to celebrate the Oamaru bv-election. The Magistrate imposed a fine of £5O.
