BREACH OF THE LICENSING ACT.

At the Magistrate’s Court, Oamaru, last Thursday, before Mayor Keddell, S.M., George Williams was fined £5 and costs for a breach of section 5, subsection A, of the Licensing Act, 1904, this being the first case under the Licensing Act since the closing of the hotels. For the information of our readers we find on referring to the Licensing Acts Amend ment, 1904, that the subsection referred to above reads: ‘‘Every person who gives any order (whether verbal or in writing) for any liquor intended to be sent or taken into the district (no-license) shall notify the person to whom the order is given that the liquor is intended to be so sent or taken, and shall give to such last-mentioned person a statement in writing of his name and address, and (where the order is given on account of any other person) the name and address of such other person.
