LIQUOR FOR DRY AREA.

NECESSITY TO NOTIFY COURT. FOUR BREACHES ALLEGED. By JTelecraph—Press Association. Ashburton, Last Night. Under the Licensing Act, James Shand, manager of Shand and Co., Christchurch, was charged at the Police Court to-day with sending liquor into the no-license district of Ashburton without informing the clerk of court that he was doing so. There were four charges, one each for July 2 and July 5 and two for July 4. Defendant pleaded not guilty. Senior-sergeant Jackson stated the notifications were sent some days after the liquor waa sent. In one instance the liquor was sent out on the 4th and the notice did not reach the clerk till the 9th. Defendant said he had been m the habit of sending notices as soon as possible, and it had been held by a magistrate (Mr. Day) that “immediately,” as required by the Act, meant a reasonable time. Mr. Mosley, S.M., looked up the defendant company’s letter book and found repeated breaches of the Act in sending out notices. “You had better not let the sergeant see this book,” said the magistrate, “there are some bad breaches here.” After consulting the Act the magistrate ordered the case to be stood' doWn for a few minutes. Subsequently he said the word immediately did not appear in the Act. He would look into the matter, re* serving his decision meanwhile.
