FLYING ON SUNDAY.
TEST CASE WANTED. f PROVISIONS OF AOT. Twice during the past year thi - president of the New Zealand Aero Club, Mr G. Spence, has Interviewed the Minister of Justice to ask that the Police Offenoes Act should be amended to make the intention of the Legislature clear on the subject of flying for hire on Sunday, relates the annual report of the club. On neither ocoaslon was he successful in obtaining any definite statements as to the Minister’s attitude on the question.
Ultimately written application for the amendment, showing that it was only necessary to insert the word “aircraft" in the appropriate section, elicited a reply that, for reasons which were not stated, the Minister could not see his way to introduos the amendment, but suggested that this club or one of the constituent clubs might provide facilities to enable an authoritative decision by the Supreme Court to be obtained, in view of the conflicting decisions of the magistrates on the matter. Three prosecutions, ons in Wanganui, one in Auckland and one In Napier, have been Instituted against piled Instructors and wlub officials, the two former having been dismissed by the magistrates, and the other is pending , the report states. Further representations to the Minister will be made.
