AN INGENIOUS DODGE.
RAILWAY TICKETS RE-SOLD. EXCURSIONS FROM HAMILTON. AUCKLAND, Saturday. In the Magistrate’s Court yesterday Henry Butler was charged with selling partly used railway tickets. Deteotlve-Sergeant O’Sullivan said that for some time the railway authorities tad had complaints that men were going to the railway station on Sunday mornings to meet the excursion Train from Hamilton. Return fares on this train were less than the ordinary single fare, and apparently a number of people who had no intention of returning on the day used the tickets. Accused would canvass passengers for tickets they did not want and would sell them on the station in the evening, making a profit of about 2s 6d on each ticket. Accused was fined 10s, the magistrate remarking that the fine would be heavier next tiipe a similar offence was reported.
