Somerville Denies Wine Sale To Boy At Australian Saloon

In court Somerville testified he had run the Australian Wine Saloon for nine years after an 18 month prior license. He described three conditions on his licenses, two about business conduct and one under the Gaming Act. At 7:15 p.m. on July 1, Sergeants Korn and Byers accused him of selling wine to a boy, and the boy identified Somerville as the server. Somerville protested, calling the accusation ridiculous, and denied ever having seen the boy. The case continues.
