OLD REGULATION.

Mr, Charles Bond, manager of Mesars. Gando, Price and Co., Ltd., made protest before Major C. Willson at the Central Magistracy yesterday afternoon in a cuso brought against his Company for failing to apply for a permit before the removal of four cases of liquor,

The evidence of a Revenue Officer showed that he had been instructed by Mr. B.C.K. Hawkins, of the Imports and Exports Department, to visit the warehouse of Mesere, Gande, Price and Co. to discover if ships stores had been made up and sent out. He was informed that the shipment had been sent. No permit had been ibuted.

Mr. Bond told the Court that it was imposable for any European wine dealer to comply with the regulation. Ifo had already lost three orders owing to the regulation. He had boon

Chinese Firm Fined.

A Chinese firm of wine dealers,

Cheung Sing-Chan, of No. 324 Des Voeux Road Weat, was summoned for failing to account for a number of red lables issued by the Revenue De partment and for using old labels on new jars of wine.
