SLY-GROG SELLING.

man sent tq gaol.

(By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Friday.

Three months’ imprisonment was the sentence imposed on William Buckley, who was charged with selling liquor without a license, by Mr F. K. Hunt, S.M., in the S.M. Court. Buckley appeared on summons. He was charged last month with sly grogselling, and was remanded for sentence in view of the fact that he had to give evidence in another case. While waiting to be dealt with to-day he again sold beer to a constable illegally, so that he faced two charges this morning. He pleaded guilty to both. Sub-Inspector Shanahan said the constable had gone to Buckley’s shop and asked for some beer. Buckley produced two bottles for the constable and his friend. The constable then ordered a supply of six bottles, which Buckley sold at Is each. ‘I have fined this man £SO on two occasions,” said the Magistrate. "On the third occasion he was stood over for sentence. After hearing a whole lot of men convicted, ho goes away and docs the same thing again. He pays no attention to the law or the court. He is liable to six months’ imprisonment or a fine of £IOO. The only thing to do with him is to send him to gaol. He is sentenced to three months’ imprisonment on each charge, the terms to be concurrent. ’ ’
