DELIVERY OF LIQUOR.
CASE OF NO-LICENSE DISTRICT. AN IMPORTANT JUDGMENT. By Telejraph.—Press Association. ■ Masterton, Last Night. An important decision affecting nolicense areas .was delivered in the Supreme Court to-day by Judge Edwards. In the Magistrate's Court, Thomas Crass was fined £25 for bringing into a no-license district a parcel containing liquor, without such parcel being properly labelled. Crass had signed an order for the. liquor, but no'label was affixed to the parcel, as it was being taken to Crasa's home for his own use. The Magistrate held that the parcel had been "delivered" within the meaning of the Act, and should have had a label affixed. Judge Edwards reversed this decision on appeal, and quashed the conviction, holding that the word "deliver" in the Licensing Act meant the transfer of liquor from one person to .another.
