STOLE FROM BROADCAST
PAPER PUBLISHED RACE RESULT ILLEGALLY FINED £1 Reed. 1.6 p.m. SYDNEY, Today. The publisher of the “Western Times,” at Bathurst, was fined £1 for publishing a portion of a broadcasting programme without the consent of the station concerned. This is the first case of its kind in the Commonwealth under the Wireless Telegraphy Act. The charge related to a Moorefield race result, which the Telegraph Department ascertained was not transmitted by telephone, and therefore must have been obtained from the wireless broadcast.
