Elham Petty Sessions

At the fortnightly sitting of the Elham Petty Sessional Court on Thursday in last week, Dr. W. Tyson presided on the Bench.

Albert Charles Maycock, of the Star Inn, Newington, was summoned for selling whisky which had been adulterated.

Evidence was given that a pint of whisky was found on analysis to be 39.84 degrees under proof.

Mrs. Maycock, wife of defendant, explained how the matter occurred, and the Bench decided that there had been an error of judgement, and fined defendant only 5s., also expressing the opinion that there should be no opposition to the renewal of the licence.
