George Moore, a haulier, was also charged with aiding and abetting in the sale of drink after hours, and Sarah J. Walters was further charged with selling intoxicating drink after hours. Mr. W. Thomas appeared for the three defendants. P.C. Banks said that at 9.35 p.m. on 3rd inst., he visited the Glandover Inn, Gadlys Road. While walking into the house he saw Geo. Moore standing in the passage. Mrs. Walters came from the serving portion of the bar, carrying a half pint glass measure, full of what he took to be beer. She handed it to Moore, who took it into the smoke- room. Mrs. Walters then saw witness and ran into the smoke-room after Moore, saying: "Give me that back, for God's sake." She took the measure from Moore and upset a good deal of the contents in doing so. The mesure was placed underneath her apron, and she walked across the room to the fire place. She afterwards attempted to leave the room, and witness asked her what she had beneath her- apron. After some hesitation she produced the measure, which was three parts full, and said Yes, it is half a pint, but don't tell the boss, or he will kill me." He showed her the time, and she admitted she knew the time, adding: "I don't know what made me do it." Witness said to Moore What do you say about it?" Moore searched his pockets and pulled out a piece of paper, and said: I only came in here with a haulage ticket for the boss." Witness saw the landlord in the kitchen and asked him to come to the smoke-room. He was told what Mrs. Walters had done, and Mrs. Walters admitted the offence, say- ing "He pleaded to me for half a pint, and I was foolish enough to give it him." Mr. Walters asked Moore what he had to say, and Moore said he simply came in with a ticket. Walters then said: You say whether the policeman's statement is true. The police must do their duty, and don't make the thing worse than it is." Moore said: It is quite right." Wal- ters then spoke to his wife and re- marked that he had told her over and over again not to do it. Cross-examined by Mr. W. Thomas, witness said lie knew Moore to be a haulier. He saw Mrs. Walters in the passage because the glass door was half open. Mrs. Williams never told him that the glass measure had been left in a recess for some time and that she was I taking it out. .11.

Banks said to her: You have a glass: of beer in your hand," and she replied, Yes, it was left there by someone." When questioned by the constable, Moore said he knew nothing about it; that he simply came there on business, George Moore was called and said he performed hauling work for Mr. Wal- ters. He called at the Glandover to hand notices to Mr. Walters and to as- certain what he was to do on Monday. He saw Mrs. Walters near the serving bar door, and saw her taking a glass of beer out of the room and meeting the constable at the door.

The land- lord was told he would be reported for supplying the whisky during prohibited hours. P.S.

Afterwards he went to Pembroke Street to his father's house. Witness suffered from a bad cold, and his father gave him a bottle of whisky to take for it.
