Under the "Licensing Act 1908,"-. section 146, it is unlawful to ss!l or exposo or keep for sale any liquorwithin such district, but this does not apply to sales by brewers cf liquor of their own manufacture to persons not residing or carrying on business within the district and to be delivered outside the district. ' :
A brewer, therefore, in a no license dictrict, is not compelled to close Lfs brewery, that is, he can continue to manufacture beer but within the district, ho can only soil his beer to persona residing or carrying on. business outsido the district, and then only to be dslivered outside the district. He cannot under any- circumstances whate-^r sell within the district to any one Jiving or carrying on business within it, but any brewer carrying on business outside can sell for use within, provided he notifies the sale to the appointed Clerk of the Magistrate^ Court. Should no" license be carried in Nelson the result will be that" U-c Nelson brewers will b?. nnaolo to sell beer in Nelson to Ncl~on residents, whilst outside brewers «m 4587 FEEL and ATKINSON Nelson, 6th November, 1908.
