MINIATURE GOLF ON SUNDAY
MAXIMUM PENALTY IMPOSED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Gisborne, Dec. 5. Mr. Harper, S.M., imposed the maximum fine of £5 on Robert J. Kerridge on a charge of Sunday trading, defendant , having pleaded guilty to keeping the Garrison Hall open on November 30 for a miniature golf links. The -magistrate said the ' principle which distinguished the game from golf and tennis played by members of clubs or on courts run by the corporation was that in this case the game was played for private gain. Defendant, -before opening, should have interviewed the police. Instead he took the law into his own hands. Defendant had six days a week, which was surely suffi<ient to give him an adequate return.
