Twenty One Youths In Court For Underage Drinking
Two youths aged nineteen and two others aged twenty or twenty one faced the Resident Magistrate after attempting to use false ages to buy beer at the Michsioe Inn. Alfred Robinson, licensee, argued his staffer was mainly at fault. The youths admitted the beverages before questioning, while the barman Watson Smith claimed he had asked their ages and believed they were over twenty one. Robinson was fined £3 in each of two cases, plus costs. Wellington and Powell were charged with misrepresenting their ages and faced fines. The third youth appeared in the Children's Court with a separate penalty, while the magistrate warned against future age deception.
