NATIVE GAME
NO PROVISION CUT OF SEASON. PROSECUTIONS IN CHRISTCHURCH. (Per United Press Association.) Christchurch, April 11. Hotelkeepers who wish to provide guests with native game during the close season now have no means of doing so. Appearing this morning for the North Canterbury Acclimatization Society in prosecuting for breaches of the game regulations, Mr M. J. Gresson drew attention to the regulation that states: “Any person authorized to take or kill or to sell imported game or native game, may place in any freezing or cool-chamber any such game, which may be kept until required, but not beyond seven days after the close of the open season.”
Mr Gresson said that another regulation provided for the keeping of a register cf all game kept in any freezer.
Under these regulations Ernest Boulton, Henry J. Crust and Alfred M. Green wore convicted and ordered to pay costs. On charges of possessing game without authority at the premises of P. Feron and Son, E. J. Newman, manager of Feron’s Freezing Chambers, was convicted and discharged for failing to keep a register of the game in the cool chamber. “Well, this is the first occasion in 10 years that such a case has been before me,” said Mr E. J. Lawry, S.M. “This will act as a warning.”
