Reference to recent Parliamentary criticism of the penalties imposed by magistrates on people convicted of having liquor in the vicinity of dance halls was made.by Mr J. L. Stout, S.M., during the hearing of a case of that kind in the Magistrate’s Court, Wellington. “I notice,” he said, “that Parliament seems to know more about the infliction of fines than the Magistrate’s Court. But it does seem to me where you get a youth of this age that a £2 fine would probably equal £lO to a Member of Parliament.”
