A quantilty of ale and whiskey seized in the Han- mer store on the evening of Feb- ruary 21 was produced in court. `Mr. I-Ianmer pleaded guilty but Mr. Dignam fought his case and! won. some -interesting sidelights were thrown on the operation of the LJC.A. ~l:.....u.. annnnn man at [HG Idbultu Douglas Beattty. counter rpan at the Govt. store, testified that on February 21. the date of the alleg- ed offences. he sold Dlgnam onel~ quart of McN1sh's Scotch and 12 lnts of Bass` ale. some of each rand. seized in the Hammer store in Dignam's presence, was produc- ed. as was D1gnam's permit to show corresponding entries. 9 1-5 *l5-..a anhnav Inn `hiannm in cOY`!'eS`pOIluUi5 cuu.
