VERY EXPENSIVE
OYSTERS A POUND EACH POACHERS PAY DEARLY (Special to “Chronicle.”) AUCKLAND April 29. At almost any fish shop in Auckland oysters can be brought at fourpence a dozen in season and most people consider the price quite high enough, but compared with the price George Brown paid for two oysters he picked at Glandy’s Bay during the close season on January 23 the shopkeepers would consider that they were giving theirs away. Brown, a native said he only took two oysters, but they cost him a pound apiece as Mr F. K. Hunt fined him £2 this morning. On February 20, at Cowes Bay, Robert Eagleton junior helped himself to six opsters and the price worked out at 6s 8d each, he being fined £2.
