— o — May 2. ( Before E. 11. Carew, Esq. , Judijeand Warden.) Lewis J. Drew, bootmaker. Doctor’s Flat, was summoned at the instance of Sergeant Cassels to answer a charge of carrying on business on the | gold-fields without a license. The defendant | pleaded, not guilty. Sergeant Cassels stated that on Saturday, the 27th April, he visited defendants premises, and found him carrying on business without a license. Defendant told him he did not require a license, as ho only worked at his trade ; ho did not sell goods of any kind. Saw one pair of boots, and a stock of leather, in 1 the shop. —The defendant said he had never of- j fered a pair of boots for sale since coming to the district, nor had he any boots to sell. Was not I in a position to take out a business license ; and j besides, he did not think it right that a man should be taxed for working at his trade. —His Worship said as there was no proof that defendant had disposed of any goods, he would give him the benefit of the doubt and dismiss the information. The defendant was cautioned, however, to provide himself with a business license before attempting to sell goods of any kind. APFIiICATtOXS.
