BOBBY CALF TRADE

PENALTY FOR SUNDAY WORK. (By Telegraph. Press Association.) HAMILTON, Wednesday. A fine of £5 Is imposed on Arthur Colbourne Hendry, a lorry driver, a month ago, for working at his trade of carrying bobby calves to the Horotiu freezing works on Sunday, was reduced to Is by Mr Wyvern Wilson, S.M., to-day in the Hamilton Police Court. To-day’s proceedings took the form of a rehearing, and a plea of guilty was entered. The magistrate said the posit : on was unique. At the previous hearing he had been asked to make the fine £5 Is to allow a general appeal to be made, and without thought he had done so. He later realised that the maximum penalty was £5, and that the law did not permit the right of appeal in such cases unless special circumstances warranted it. As the case against Hendry was in the nature of a test, he would be fined Is. Arnold Tarlton Smith, who was similarly charged, was also fined Is. James Hardy Leek, Charles Balmer Davies, William Bruce, Harry Cook, Arthur Norman Young, Samuel Robert Lye, William Charles Mellars and Reginald Charre were each ordered to pay the costs for a similar offence.
