IN THE SMALL HOURS
BILLIARDS SALOON BUSY [ Per Press Association ] AUCKLAND, April 4. Discoveries made by a police sergeant and four constables who visited a billiards saloon in Dominion Road at 4.30 p.m. on a recent Sunday morning were related at length in the Police Court. The proprietor of the saloon, according to witnesses, had been sitting outside in a car while inside girls were lying on couches. Some were in beach pyjamas and some showed signs of liquor, the click of billiard balls showing that games were being played in the saloon when it was required by law to be closed. Cuthbert Rawson was fined £5 and costs for permitting billiards to be played in his saloon at an hour when it was required to be closed. Three men and three girls were charged with being found on the premises. The men were each fined £1 and costs and the girls were convicted and discharged.
