“PATIENT AND OBSERVANT”
BUTTER SALES PLAN NOT LOTTERY. COMMENT BY MAGISTRATE. ‘By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Aug. 15. Charges of advertising a lottery, establishing a lottery and conducting a lottery made to-day against Fuller Lipton, Ltd., were dismissed to-day by Mr. H. P. Lawry, S.M. The charges arose out of a scheme in which the purchasers of pounds of butter received tickets which entitled other articles to be purchased at half price. The tickets bore numbers, and if the purchaser could find an article in the shop bearing a similar number he could buy it at half price. The defence was that the purchaser had to use diligence and skill to find the article. The'magistrate said that if a man were sufficiently patient and observant be could manoeuvre the purchases so as to obtain a particular article at half price.
