Continuing, Mr. Jenkin said that

His Worship remarked that he would hear the case for the pro- secution arst, before, doing so.

Mr. Buller said that he was pre- pared to accept the plea as a technical offence but in regard to a fine he would leave it in his Worship's hands..

Mr. Jerikin said that a warning. should have been given instead, or bringing his client up to the Court. Mr. Buller had said that he want ed a fine, and in view of this he was afraid the case would have to go on.
