In the City Police Court, to-day, before Mr. Bartholomew, S.M., William Crossan, licensee of the Waterloo Hotel, was charged with selling, supplying, or sending liquor (three bottles of whisky) to J. Buchanan, of Owaka, which was intended to bo taken into a no-license district, except in Eursuance of the terms of order signed y and stating the address and occupation of the purchaser.

Counsel for defendant contended that the telegram was an order within the meaning of the section, that, a transcript of any telegram was such order, and that in this case it was an order signed by and stating the address and occupation of the purchaser. Decision was reserved.
