A SECOND-HAND DEAL? INTERESTING CASE IN COURT. £ Per Press Association. ] AUCKLAND, Alarch 23. A charge of not having a radio dealer’s license was brought against John Heard Ansell, auctioneer, before Air W. R. McKean, S.AL, at the Police CourtIn pleading not guilty for his client, Mr Finlay said that a firm of radio dealers, having assigned their estate, the assignee handed to Ansell several sets to dispose o.f ,by auction. “The question is now raised, 4 must an auctioneer have a radio dealer’s license before he can sell sets?’ ” said counsel. “It seems quite simple io me.” “But a second-hand dealer can sell anything,, can he not?” asked the Magistrate. “1 thought that he could,” answered Mr Finlay. Sub-Inspector McCarthy, in handing to the Magistrate the regulations dealing with the matter as interpreted by the Post and Telegraph Department, said that evidently the license was required.
Mr Finlay then applied for an adjournment so that he could go into the matter and put forward argument. He had only been instructed yesterday. “What I want to hear is some argument by the prosecution,” said the Magistrate. The case was then adjourned.
