CASE DISMISSED
PROSECUTION LAPSES After the evidence of his first witness had been heard .in the Magistrate’s Court, Hamilton, today, Mr H. T. Gillies said that no purpose would be served by continuing with the case. Mr Gillies was appearing on behalf of Mr C. C. Kenward, registrar of the Electrical Wiremen’s Registration Board, in the prosecution of Robert Alexander Wilson Brown on a charge of doing electrical wiring work when he was riot registered or licensed to do so. Outlining his case Mr Gillies said defendant had been summoned to effect repairs to a water pump on the property of William James Marson, of Taupiri, on February 10. It was alleged that Brown had dismantled the pump, removing the electrical motor and wiring. Mr Gillies intimated that he would be calling evidence from a power board official and an electrical inspector. Mr Gillies’ first' witness, Marson, explained the reason for calling on Brown’s services. Then witness said that at no time was anything done to the motor or the wiring. There was no necessity to do so. When Mr Gillies said he would proceed no further with the case the magistrate, Mr S. L. Paterson, said it was a very proper attitude. The information was dismissed.
