THE POLICE TRAP Inspector G. A. Stimson, who was the complainant, stated in an outline of the case, that com- plants had been received by the police about serving of liquor at the Airlle Hotel. On the night of November 1 two polee-constables, P. C. Appleton and P. C. Greig, were sent to the Hotel with in- structions to buy bottles of beer. The two constables were seen to enter the Hotel in plain clothes at 8.10 pm, and Inspector Stimson and Detectre-Sergeant D. Davies kept watch a few hundred yards away. At 9.30 p.m. Inspector Stim. son and Sergeant Davies entered the Hotel and went to the frst floor where they saw the "boy"" in attendance. The "boy" asked Ser- geant Davies if he wanted any beer and invited them to go into the dining room. ́ ́

NO WARNING GIVEN Inspector Stimson 'then went to the lounge, where he saw Mr. Ogi! - vie at the counter, and the two police constables seated on a set. tee. Each of them had an empty beer bottle in front of him and glasses half filled with beer. In- spector Stimson asked them 1 they had paid for it and they re- pited "Yes" so Inspector Stimson told defendant that he would be summoned for the offence.
