PURCHASE OF GOLD COIN
COURT DISMISSES THE APPEAL.
REGULATIONS NOT ULTRA VIRES.
By Telegraph—Press Association.
Wellington, Sept. 10
Dismissing the appeal of Harold Harding Morris, manufacturing jeweller, from a conviction for unlawfully carrying on the business of a gold coin dealer, Mr. Justice Ostler took the view that traffic in sovereigns was not currency exchange but the purchase of gold. With regard to other points raised in the appeal, he said the regulations were not ultra vires.
Mr. Justice Ostler upheld the appeal of Harold Harding Morris, Ltd., from a conviction under the Second-hand Dealers’ Act. In his opinion, he said, the company came within the very words of exemption as a person who purchases second-hand articles, i.e., old jewellery, for the purpose of manufacturing other articles, i.e., an ingot of bullion, therefrom.
