BRIDGED GAS METER.
Petone Woman Will Now Pay Fine. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, January 31. A married woman named M’Dowell was fined £5, costs included, at Petone to-day for theft of gas. It was urged for her that the offence was of only a fortnight’s duration and a plea was made that the meter was leaking and the gas was costing £2 a month. It was stated that a hawker came to her door, smelt the gas and said he could show the woman how to connect the gas so as not to register, and that her husband was ignorant of this being done.
