LAW REPORT. [ EXTRACT from the Otago Daily Times of the 10th February, 1911, of a judgment given by His Honour Mr. Justice Williams in the case of Wittingham v. Lopdell.] In the Supreme Court in Banco at Dunedin, on the 9th February, 1911, a question of special interest to brewers was brought before His Honour Mr. Justice Williams for his decision. The case was one in which an appeal was stated against the conviction of Richard Wittingham, of Invercar- gill, brewer. Briefly, the facts are these : — Wittingham was charged at Balclutha, on the information of Constable Lopdell, that on the 13th August, at Waikiwi, he sold five gallons of beer to the order of P. Neilson, of Waimahaka, situated in the no- license district of Clutha, and, being aware that the liquor so ordered was to be sent to a no- license district, he failed to furnish to the Clerk of the Court at Balclutha a statement in writing of the name and address of the person ordering the liquor, and the person to whom it was sent. Mr. Bartholomew, S. M., held that the notice thould have been posted contemporaneously with the despatch of the beer, and convicted, fining Wittingham £ 1, and costs. Wittingham now appealed from that decision on the ground that the Magistrate was wrong in holding that the notice must be sent at the same time as the goods. In giving judgment, His Honour said ; The appellant sold and delivered the liquor on Saturday, the 13th. He did not on that day furnish the statement required by subseotion ( 6) of section 147 to the Clerk of the Magistrate's Court. On Monday the 15th, therefore, and up to Tuesday the 16th, no statement had been forwarded. If any person sells any liquor to or for delivery to a resident outside the district without furnishing a statement to the Clerk of the Magis- trate's Court he is guilty of an offence. It seems to me that on the Monday, taking the literal wording of the Act, the appellant had been guilty of an offence. He had sold and delivered the liquor on the Saturday, and he had not given the requisite notice. If it were the intention of the Legis- lature that the notice could be given after the sale and delivery the Aot would have said so. The whole object of this provision of the Act is that immediately upon liquor being sent into a no- license district there shall be a record in that distriot in order that the police may know where the liquor is. In construing the Act one has certainly to take into consideraticn the manifest intention of the Act. Taking, however, the literal wording of the Act, the appellant in the present case, on Monday the 15th, and Tuesday the 16th, bad been guilty of the omission which the Act makes an offence. He had sold and delivered the liquor, and had not, as the Act requires, forwarded a statement to the Clerk of the Magistrate's Court. In my opinion the Magistrate was right, and the notioe should be given simultaneously, or practically simultaneously, with the sale and delivery of the liquor, in order that when the liquor arrives in the district the police may have the infoimation which the Act contem- plates they should have for the purpose of preventing sly- grog selling. Appeal dismissed ; costs, five guineas. [ This report has been verified by His Honour Mr. Justice Williams, and will appear in the " Gazette Law Reports."] ( 11/ 195.)
