FREE BOOTS AND SHOES.
DECLARED TO BE A LOTTERY’
(Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, 1 ec. 7. Mr Page, S.M., gave reserved judgment to-day in the case in which Brady, and Co., bootsellers, were charged with conducting a lottery and obstructing the traffic by throwing boots and shoes on to the street to celebrate the opening of a new shop, tho mates being obtainable on applying inside the shop. He found that the charge of conducting a lottery had been established, there being no case in which such a charge had been dismissed because the distribution was gratuitous. The breaches of the law were not serious and a fine of £2 on each charge, with costs, was inflicted.
