BREACHES OF PRICE REGULATIONS
(United Press Association) WELLINGTON, November 1. Convictions were entered against Stewart Hardware and Tools Ltd., on charges of breaches of the Price Stabilization Emergency Regulations by the Magistrate, Mr J. H. Luxford. The firm was fined £lO on one charge relating to the sale of solder, to which it pleaded not guilty. The firm raised the point that the .solder sold at September 1, 1939 at 2/6 contained impurities not present in the material subsequently sold at 3/- but the Magistrate ruled that this was quite irrelevant, it being abundantly clear that the firm was willing to sell 50-50 solder at 2/6 on the date mentioned, which was all the Court required. The other offence, which was admitted, related to the sale of a wrench.
