ONE-DAY TRANSFERS
AUCTIONEERS’ LICENSES A WEST COAST PROSECUTION (Per Press Association.) GREYMOUTH, FcH 21. A practice among West Coast auctioneers, existing for years, has been the transfer of licenses for one-day periods. James Daniel Lynch pleaded guilty at the Magistrate’s Court this morning to a charge of conducting a sale without license, he having had a Westland District license transferred to him for one day. The minimum penalty of £lO was imposed. Mr F. W. Mcldrum, S.M., said that defendant thought he was acting within his rights, but no doubt the practice was against the law. Defendant could apply to the Department for remission of the fine which he (the Magistrate) was prepared to recommend.
