Tips for Choosing... a Liquor Store
The best way to unwind is with a group of friends and a few well-crafted beverages. Nothing beats it for unwinding and taking it easy.
Whether you're throwing a party or simply hanging out with friends, it's always a good idea to locate a good liquor store. The best retailers will assist their clients by providing recommendations, background knowledge, and access to premium products. When it comes to the Liquor store in wellington city
A Lot Of Choices
Find a store that specialises in what you're looking for. Several shops sell a variety of beers from local microbreweries. The products offered vary widely, from wine to expensive imported scotch and bourbon. The best stores will provide a diverse selection of products, from the everyday necessities to the rare and exotic.
The liquor shop must have items in a wide price range. Any and all of the available selections, from the most expensive to the least expensive, may find a home in a fully filled liquor cabinet.

In recipes where the taste is meant to blend together, such baked products or mixed drinks, you don't necessarily need to purchase the finest grade brands.
In contrast, if you plan on drinking the booze on its own, you should get a higher-quality brand even if it costs more than a generic one.
Professional Opinions
You may easily rack up a hefty bar tab when entertaining often. Getting professional advice is especially important if your investment is sizeable.
The best bottle of alcohol can make or break an occasion, and the knowledgeable staff at top liquor stores can help you choose the right one. A description of the event and your prefered flavours or flavours should be ready at hand. Listen carefully to the advice they provide. So you need to choose the right Liquor centre there.
Going the extra mile for superior, individualised service may be well worth the effort. Furthermore, if you purchase at the same establishment on a frequent basis, the staff will get acquainted with your shopping preferences and needs. The more often you visit, the more enjoyable your interactions will be.
Encounter completely
Considering how handy something is is usually always a good idea, but it shouldn't be your only consideration.
The perfect version of this business has no dirt on the floor, is well arranged, and is situated in a safe neighbourhood.
The best bottle stores have pristine premises, wide product selections, and well-mannered staff members.
Finding these items at a liquor store will allow you to enjoy the tasty results of your search.
Finally, it's important to keep the whole buying journey in mind
You should look for a store that is conveniently located for you, such as near your home or on your way home from work. This is, however, only the first step. If a store is well-managed, the employees, products, and decor all reflect that. Find a firm that can differentiate itself from the rest of the pack. If you can get everything you need from a single store, it will greatly add to your enjoyment and calm.

“Caught In His Bed, ‘Covered’ Detective,” Toronto Star. May 11, 1932. Page 2.
----
Latter Called Bluff By Pulling Off Blankets, However - Sent to Reformatory
----
Officers Crowe and McAllister were warmly commended by the bench and Albert A. Fisher, aged 26, was sent to the Ontario reformatory for 18 months plus a year following conviction on one charge of burglary and two of shopbreaking.
Detective-Sergeants Crowe and McAllister told how the accused had entered Levine’s store on Major St. via a cellar window and there had abstracted $60 from the till. Later they said he had entered Levine’s residence and had stolen his pants with $12 in the pockets. Finally accused had entered Menzies’ tire store on John St. and had stolen $135 worth of auto tubes and tires.
Visiting accused’s residence the officers found a part of the stolen property, 20 tubes and a tire.
‘He was in bed,’ said Officer Crowe, ‘and my partner, McAllister, had gone across the street to get Mr. Menzies. He pushed his finger through the bed clothes at me and told me to back out as he had me covered. I pulled the bedclothes off him. There was nothing there.’
‘I only came out of Prince Albert penitentiary 3 1/2 months ago,’ accused said. ‘I have tried hard. I ave scrubbed floors, put advertisements in the papers, and done any work I could get. I don’t want to lead a life of crime. I want to lead a clean life. All I ask is a chance. I am 26 and I have done six years in the penitentiary. Please show me a little leniency this time.’
‘I will give you a chance,’ decided the bench, ’you will not be sen back to the penitentiary but will go to the Ontario reformatory for 18 months definite and one year indeterminate.’
George Lawrence, who imbibed liquor despite the fact that he was obtaining city relief, was assessed $50 or one month in early court. Others charged with being drunk were handed over to the Salvation Army.
The vagrants charged included a youth named Onslow Taylor who is on probation and had failed to obey the rule to be in by 10 p.m. The bench gave him another chance, and put him in charge of Captain Wallace Bunton of the Salvation Army, telling him the next breach of probation will entail a six months’ term.
Charged with attempting to take his own life, Janova Andrej, was remanded till May 17 for observation at the psychiatric hospital.
A fraud charge preferred against F. R. Swallow was ordered withdrawn.
Had Stolen Fags
Elmer O’Donnell pleaded not guilty to a charge of breaking into a poolroom at 204 Queen St. W. and stealing a quantity of cigarettes. He pleaded guilty to receiving a quantity of the stolen property.
Detective-Sergeant Johns said Officer Nemo had seen the accused at Wellington and Scott Sts. He had a parcel containing stolen cigarettes. The accused said they had been given him to sell by a man named McLean.
The theft charge was withdrawn and a conviction for receiving registered. Accused was then remanded for sentence on probation for two years.
Observed stealing articles in a 15-cent store, Mort Levine’s collection when he was apprehended was valued at $1.50. He pleaded not guilty and said he fully intended to pay for the goods.
‘You had been drinking?’ queried the bench. ‘Yes, sir.’
‘What?’ ‘Antifreeze.’
Accused was remanded till Thursday.
William Brophy pleaded guilty to obtaining $52.70 from the Barnardo hospital by fraud. He left without discharging his bill. The bench remanded him for sentence till called upon learning a brother had settled the account.
George Pollychuk was allowed suspended sentence on an aggravated assault charge and Ben Hamilton was remanded to allow him to obtain $50 damages.
Defence counsel urged Hamilton had a good record and had been gassed.
‘Why didn’t he stay gassed?’ asked the bench. ‘He also has a good criminal record; his occupation seems to be visiting liquor dives, rolling drunks, beating women and keeping disorderly houses.’
Charged with aggravated assault, Oliver Grossi, Stanley Des Roches, and Percy Smith were remanded till May 13 on bail of $500 each.

But everything changes when he spots a spectral woman who wordlessly conveys the message: We’ll escape together.

Reviews:
"The Sun Casts No Shadow by Mark Richardson is a dark and twisted tale of a city's underbelly...A fascinating yarn that will captivate readers, The Sun Casts No Shadow easily earns five stars. Richardson has produced an exceptional work that readers will relish and avidly share for years to come."―Portland Book Review
"A lowly man searches for a way out of a seemingly inescapable City in the dystopian noir...Richardson coats his short, engaging novel in a gleefully dense atmosphere...A dark, stylish tale that revels in its ambiguity."―Kirkus Reviews
Excerpt:
Strangely, when I think of the City, the trains are what first come to mind. Grimy and hulking, each evening a fleet would carry a small army of workers from the Factory to bleak neighbors and shanty towns where they lived out their dreary lives.
I think of other things as well, such as: oppressive and unavoidable heat, heat so heavy it became a struggle just to walk. Troopers clearing the streets, bloodening heads with their billy clubs. Also, the red-light girls who would let me shoot my load on their tits, or wherever else I wanted, for a price. And there were the mansions on the crest of the ridge that circled high above the City; palatial estates that seemed to gaze down and lord over the rest of us. Legend had it that those mansions were the first structures built in the City, soon after its creation. For a time, they had served as homes for the Founding Fathers, but long ago had been commandeered by friends of Felix.
Once, while I still lived at the orphanage, I scaled up the hill, past the mansions, until I made it to the Wall that circled the City. Looking up, I could see no end. The Wall climbed into the thick, oppressive layer of smog. I spent the entire day slowly walking along the circumference, searching for an opening, a way out, an escape hatch. No luck, there was no way out—not even a crack. I never returned. What was the point? We were all prisoners, scurrying rats fighting to survive.
At the time that I spotted the woman with the black bangs, I’d been eking out a living as a thief and a robber. I stole from the high-end department stores where the wives and mistresses of Felix’s henchmen shopped, late-night convenience shops that peppered hardscrabble residential blocks, liquor stores and bars, and even private homes—you name it, I took from it. But mostly I picked pockets. And the pickings were easy.

RVs, campervans & amp; Cars for rent, New Zealand
cheap campervan hire NZ
In New Zealand there are campervans (which you can rent with or without a toilet) and mobile homes that always have a shower and toilet on board. The equipment is also crucial for choosing your camper in New Zealand. This includes the equipment of the kitchen. In order for you to be able to camp wild in New Zealand, your camper must also be "Self Contained" certified. Campers receive this award only if they meet the following requirements. You can stay in one place for 3 days without leaving garbage or sewage (black and gray). In short, campers must have a chemical toilet and a waste water tank on board.
A transaction fee of 2.0% will be charged. Billing is done in New Zealand dollars. 5 days. New Zealand is a camper country, that much is clear. At every corner you can rent cute little campervans or white flashing luxury seven-seaters, depending on what your heart desires. Renting a motorhome in New Zealand is therefore the norm - however, it hits the travel budget properly and often makes the dream vacation particularly unaffordable for families. Then look, ask, look under the hood. The New Zealanders are not exactly known as tough traders, but a little talent in this area is certainly useful to make a bargain.
RV Rental at Apollo Motorhome Holidays
You can check the availability of our motorhomes and book your flight accordingly.
Summer in New Zealand is also the main season for a holiday.
Holiday Accomodation Parks are one of the leading campground chains that you can find all over New Zealand.
You can limit the results by entering the number of beds.
How expensive are 4 weeks in New Zealand?
All in all, the New Zealand costs for my husband Florian and me together amounted to around 3,000 euros. That makes about € 1,500 per person over four weeks, which roughly corresponds to a daily budget of € 50 per nose. These are also the travel expenses with which we both calculated at the beginning of our trip. These naturally include cities like Auckland, Queenstown, Wellington and Christchurch, which offer an insight into the life and culture of the residents. The 4 bed motorhome based on the Fiat is equipped with all the comforts you need for a vacation in New Zealand. Summer in New Zealand is also the main season for a vacation. On the one hand you can spend the perfect beach holiday in New Zealand and on the other hand you can experience the turn of the year at the other end of the world. The weather is stable and the temperatures are warm in summer.
If you'd rather experience the nature around Wellington, you can visit Kapiti, for example. Kapiti is the perfect place to look at the untouched nature and to relax. Stronger drinks such as liqueur can only be obtained in a "liquor store". It looks like a large beverage market and your children are not allowed to enter this store with you. In general, in New Zealand you have to make sure that alcohol is not consumed everywhere. The kiwis, as the locals call themselves, have their own peculiarities. This includes not only left-hand traffic, but also the climate.

(LONDON) — Britain on Tuesday became the first country in Europe to confirm more than 30,000 coronavirus deaths, and infections rose sharply again in Russia, even as other nations made great strides in containing the scourge. China marked its third week with no new reported deaths, while South Korea restarted its baseball season.
In the U.S., some states took continued steps to lift the lockdown restrictions that have thrown millions out of work, even as the country recorded thousands of new infections and deaths every day.
Britain appeared set to surpass Italy as Europe’s hardest-hit nation. The government said about 28,700 people with COVID-19 had died in hospitals, nursing homes and other settings, while Italy reported close to 29,100 fatalities. Both figures are almost certainly underestimates because they include only people who tested positive, and testing was not widespread in Italian and British nursing homes until recently.
Yet official British statistics released Tuesday on people who died with suspected COVID-19 put the country’s toll at more than 30,000 as of April 24, or one-third higher than the government count at the time. A comparable figure for Italy was not available.
In Russia, the number of infections rose sharply again, with Moscow reporting more than 10,000 new cases for three days in a row.
At the same time, many European countries that have relaxed strict lockdowns after new infections tapered off were watching their virus numbers warily.
“We know with great certainty that there will be a second wave — the majority of scientists are sure of that. And many also assume that there will be a third wave,” said Lothar Wieler, the head of Germany’s national disease control center.
Italy this week allowed 4.4 million people to go back to work and eased restrictions on personal movement for the first time in two months.
The coming weeks are essentially an “experiment” to see how the infection curve reacts to the easing of the West’s first lockdown, the head of infectious diseases at Italy’s Superior Institute of Health told the La Repubblica newspaper.
“We are not out of the epidemic. We are still in it,” said Dr. Giovanni Rezza. “I don’t want people to think there’s no more risk and we go back to normal.”
Widely seen as a success story, South Korea reported only three new cases of the virus, its lowest total since Feb. 18. Schools will reopen in phases starting with high school seniors on May 13, but the highlight Tuesday was the baseball season, which began with no spectators allowed.
Cheerleaders danced beneath rows of empty seats, and umpires wore face masks as one of the world’s first major professional sports returned to action in games broadcast around the globe. Players and coaches were subjected to fever screenings before entering stadiums.
With major league baseball in the U.S. still mulling plans on what to do about its own season, American sports network ESPN signed a contract to broadcast six South Korean games per week, starting with Tuesday’s season opener between Daegu’s Samsung Lions and Changwon-based NC Dinos, which the Dinos won 4-0.
The country’s professional soccer leagues will kick off Friday, also without spectators.
In China, it has been three weeks since any new deaths have been reported in the country where the pandemic began late last year. Just one new case of infection was confirmed, and fewer than 400 patients are still being treated for COVID-19, health officials said.
Other places in the Asia-Pacific region have also suppressed outbreaks, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand, which has reported no new cases for two days. But experts said India, a nation of 1.3 billion people, has yet to see the peak of its outbreak.
In Britain, which unlike other European nations remains in lockdown, a trial began Tuesday of a mobile phone app that authorities hope will help contain the outbreak. The app, which warns people if they have been near an infected individual, is being tested on the Isle of Wight, off England’s southern coast. The government hopes it can be rolled out across the country later this month.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson plans to soon detail a route out of the nationwide lockdown that began March 23 and runs through Thursday. Critics say Johnson’s Conservative government responded too slowly when COVID-19 began to spread, failed to contain the outbreak by not widely testing people with symptoms, then failed to trace and isolate the contacts of those infected.
Countries that did that, including South Korea and Germany, have recorded much lower death rates than those that did not.
The British government’s chief scientific adviser, Patrick Vallance, acknowledged that “if we’d managed to ramp up testing capacity quicker it would have been beneficial.”
In France, scientists released a study saying they may have identified a possible case of the coronavirus dating back to December, about a month before the first cases were officially confirmed in Europe. Outside experts said the study was interesting but not conclusive.
Governments around the world have reported 3.6 million infections and more than a quarter-million deaths, including nearly 69,000 in the United States. Deliberately concealed outbreaks, low testing rates and the severe strain the disease has placed on health care systems mean the true scale of the pandemic is undoubtedly much greater.
Several states have been moving to relax restrictions even as daily new infections in the U.S. exceed 20,000 and daily deaths are well over 1,000, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University.
When and how to ease lockdowns will remain a key policy question for governments and cities for months, if not years.
After India relaxed some lockdown restrictions on Monday, thousands of people turned up at liquor stores without following social distancing recommendations. Police used batons to disperse the crowds. On Tuesday, Indian authorities imposed a special tax of 70% on liquor purchases.

DENVER — On Wednesday night, the City and County of Denver Department of Parks and Recreation will hold a public comment session on proposed changes to the parks alcohol policy. The meeting begins at 5:30 at the Wellington Webb Municipal building at 201 W. Colfax Ave., Room 4.F.6.
The department is considering a number of changes to simplify alcohol rules, in wake of a state law that will allow full strength beer in grocery stores in 2019. Denver and many other cities have historically followed state law, restricting alcohol consumption in parks to beer that is 3.2 percent alcohol.
Under the proposed changes, individuals would be allowed to bring full-strength beer and wine to parks. Glass bottles would not be allowed. Hard liquor would not be allowed.
For special events and festivals, many of the current restrictions would be lifted, allowing organizers to sell and serve all types of alcohol beverages as long as they have the appropriate permit.
A comparison of the current rules and proposed changes can be seen here.
Denver7 recently took a 360 view of the proposed alcohol policy changes, and found people are split on the issue. The city conducted an online survey on the issue and received about 4,450 responses over several months.

7 reasons why New Zealand’s coffee culture rules
Growing up as an American, I had a very specific view on cafe culture, one well portrayed on the big screen with oversized, complicated drink orders, an overabundance of disposable cups, and a wifi connection so good you could easily turn your tiny cafe table into your own personal office space. I knew nothing about New Zealand coffee.
I quickly learned there were basically two types of coffee: sugary, complicated drinks I didn’t understand or drip coffee from a pot that had been sitting on warmer for 4 hours that tastes like ash.
Although I thought of myself as a true coffee lover, I had no idea what I was in for the first time I tried to order coffee in New Zealand. I ordered a cappuccino and when asked whether I wanted chocolate or cinnamon on top, I said neither because I thought I’d be charged extra.
Over the past few years, I’ve come to cherish New Zealand coffee which has come to be an identifying thread in the fabric of the country, even working full time at a cafe in Wanaka. Here are some handy tips for those of you navigating the unique cafe scene in New Zealand – don’t mess it up!
1. Espresso is king
I thought I was a fancy coffee drinker before coming to New Zealand because I had used a French Press before and I even knew someone who had a Chemex. I came to New Zealand and asked for a coffee and was met with a blank stare. Drip coffee hardly exists in New Zealand and there are a million types of espresso drinks so of course, my request for a coffee was confusing. (Tip: the closest you’ll get to drip coffee is an Americano which is espresso diluted with a lot of hot water.)
Unlike drip coffee where the beans are soaked in hot water, espresso is the method of extracting coffee through tightly compacted, finely ground coffee beans with very hot water and extreme pressure. This means the flavor is usually strong and bold and will give you a real kick in the pants after a sip.
Short black, long black, short macchiato, americano, long macchiato, flat white, latte, cappuccino, mochaccino, piccolo, affogato, and vienna are all common espresso drinks. In New Zealand, most drinks are double shot and the variation of the drinks come from the milk (or water) quantities and milk texture. If you don’t know what you’re getting, asking your barista. They will be happy to explain the difference between their New Zealand coffee selections.
2. It’s all about quality, not quantity
In New Zealand, a shorter drink is a stronger drink so the hearty coffee lovers pride themselves in drinking out miniature cups that look like they were made for woodland elves. They frown upon mucking up a drink with too many ingredients and most will stick to the espresso base, milk/water, maybe sugar and very rarely syrup.
Fun fact: Because all of the espresso drinks start with the same coffee shot, all of the coffees have the same amount of caffeine in them. So, ordering a larger size coffee will not get you more caffeinated!
If you want an extra kick, order a few more shots of espresso in your drink.
3. Cafes are the epicenter of social hour
Unlike North America, New Zealand has truly stayed true to its British roots by placing the utmost importance on tea time and social hour. Morning and afternoon tea are routine events for most Kiwis even though it usually has nothing to do with tea at all. Every day around 10 am and 3 pm, Kiwis take a break from their work day and treat themselves to a hot beverage and snack often with their friends or family.
The act of getting coffee in a cafe is almost as important as the coffee itself. And the cafe game is strong in New Zealand, especially in quirky cities like Wellington and Dunedin.
Where to wine, dine and caffeinate in Wellington, New Zealand
New Zealand is still slow to catch on to the wifi cafe culture and Kiwis tend to like it that way. The cafe is a social gathering to be spent with others, not a place to be glued to your laptop for six hours. In fact, most cafes still won’t even offer wifi to their guests to preserve the culture and to lightly encourage their customers not to linger too long.
4. Every place has an expensive espresso machine
The waiting room in the dentist office? The dodgy petrol station down the road? The liquor store?
It seems like every establishment in New Zealand has some extravagant form of espresso readily available. While I can’t vouch for it being the best coffee in the world, massive kudos to the small shops serving up fresh brew in the most random places.
You often have to try to find bad New Zealand coffee here.
5. New Zealand cafes favor minimal waste
The cafe culture in New Zealand is not one that looks kindly on take away cups. Sure, you can get a takeaway coffee pretty much anywhere but most Kiwis tend to prefer to enjoy their coffee in a real cup, especially since most takeaway cups around the world ACTUALLY aren’t recyclable.
If you do have to take your coffee on the go, cafes highly encourage their customers to bring in their own reusable takeaway cup. In fact, some cafes will even offer a discount if you bring in your own cup!
High fives for saving the planet and caffeinating the world!
Two of my favorite glass reusable cups are Sol Cups locally based out of Bondi in Sydney and Joco Cups; they are so cute. And once you go reusable, it’s hard to accept paper cups.
6. Flat whites are the national drink
While not officially true, flat whites are perhaps the most popular coffee drink in New Zealand.
This drink is roughly 1/3 espresso an 2/3 steamed milk with minimal foam. This is the drink you order if you’re just looking for some excellent latte art.
The exact origins of the flat white remain a mystery with Australia and New Zealand both laying claims to fame on the creamy, milky beverage. Add this to the mix along with Russel Crowe and pavlova for controversial and polarizing New Zealand/Australia conversation topics.
7. Cafes know how to do food
Sure, New Zealand cafes are mostly about the coffee but they can definitely hold their own when it comes to food too.
Seriously, New Zealand knows how to do a damn good brunch.
Because of the small size of the country, a lot of food is relatively locally sourced. Also, there seems to be no bigger crime than buying non-cage free eggs so pretty much every cafe is guaranteed to have delicious eggs with healthy orange yolks. New Zealand is also well onto the gluten-free and vegan/vegetarian trends so there are plenty of food options to those who have a restrictive diet.
Between the epic coffee culture and delicious cafe scene, New Zealand is a good spot for those who love to a good cup of coffee.
Are you a big New Zealand coffee fan too? Where’s your favorite cafe? Love coffee culture too? Share!

What Kind of Liquor Store Would You Choose?: The Right Idea
Having a few good pals around for a round of drinks is one of the best ways to unwind. Nothing beats this for unwinding and taking it easy.
Whether you're throwing a party or simply hanging out with friends, it's important to choose a reliable liquor store. The best shops will assist their clientele by providing them with recommendations, extensive knowledge of their products, and access to high-quality items. There is a Diverse Offering of Choices when it comes to the Retailer of Alcoholic Beverages in Wellington City.
Go to a store that has just what you're looking for. Numerous shops have a varied beer variety from local microbreweries. Products vary from cheap domestic bourbon and scotch to costly overseas kinds of both. The best stores provide a comprehensive selection of both everyday necessities and unique, hard-to-find products. A search with Liquor stores open near me can be quite useful.
There should be a wide price range represented in the liquor shop's selection. Any and all of the available selections, from the most expensive to the least cheapest, may be kept in a fully filled liquor cabinet.
The Saratoga gunfight charges were withdrawn, but they might be refiled in the future.
In cases when the end result will have a taste that is meant to interact with other flavors, such as when baking or preparing mixed drinks, it is not always necessary to use the best grade brands.
On the other hand, if you plan on drinking the alcoholic beverage on its own, you should invest in a higher-end brand even if it costs more than a store-brand equivalent.
Recommendations from Experts
A large bar tab may rapidly accumulate when you throw parties on a regular basis. It is crucial to get the advice of an expert before making a large investment.
The quality of the bottle of alcohol offered can make or break an occasion, and the knowledgeable staff at the best liquor stores can help you make the right choice. A description of the happening and your chosen flavor(s) should be at the ready. Heed the advice they provide you very carefully. Therefore, when you reach there, choose the Nearest liquor store.
If you want superior and personalized service, it might pay you to go the extra mile. Another perk of shopping at the same establishment again is that the staff will come to know you and your preferences via repeated interactions. Your interactions with the other visitors will improve with each visit.
Interminable interaction with
It's wise to consider how easy something is to use, but it shouldn't be the only thing you consider.
The ideal version of this business would have spotless floors, be well organized, and be situated in a safe area.
The most outstanding bottle stores have spotless interiors, a wide variety of products, and helpful staff.
If you are able to track them down at a bottle store, you will be rewarded with the sweet rewards of your work.
Conclusion
You should look for a store that is conveniently located, such as near to your home or along your regular commute path. However, this is only the first step. Employees, products, and the store's aesthetic all speak to the quality of management. Look for a firm that can differentiate itself from the pack, and employ them. If you can get all you need in a single outing, you'll experience a big uptick in both pleasure and calm.

“Four Are Held After Attack On Klingblie,” Border Cities Star. September 20, 1921. Page 7.
----
Charges Arise Out of Malden Farmer’s Assault
----
Norman Sells Pleads Guilty; Archie Trojand Convicted
---
Emerson La Marsh, Archie Troland, Norman Sells and Jack Richard, all of Windsor, were remanded until next Wednesday in police court on charges growing out of an assault on Herman Klingbile, a farmer residing on lot 31 Malden road.
Sells, who lives at 118 Bridge avenue and Richards who resides at 10 Campbell avenue, pleaded guilty to having liquor in a place other than a private dwelling. Trojand, whose address is 140 Wellington avenue, was convicted of common assault. LaMarsh, 131 Wellington avenue, was held in view of developments which may take place.
A charge against Richard of stealing a silver watch from Klingblie was dismissed.
Klingblie Gives Evidence
Klingblie testified that Sells was a friend of his. He said that Sells brought the three other men to the Klingblie farm about 2 o’clock Wednesday morning. They had four cases of liquor with them and wanted to store it at his place, he said. He objected but the men persisted, he said. Sells advised him to do whatever they told him, he asserted, and he admitted them. Continuing his testimony he said the men brought one of the case in the house, opening it and took out a bottle. They forced him to drink with them, he said. Two more bottles were opened and the men took turns at sleeping on the bed, he asserted, three of them sleeping while a fourth watched the whisky.
Attack is Feared
About 6 o’clock they claimed one of the cases was missing. An argument about this ensued outside the house and he feared he was going to be attacked, he said, as one of the men showed him a bullet and also said he had a gun. He commenced to run and was chased by Trojand and struck several times in the face, he claimed. In the meantime his young son went for the police.
H. A. Chenier, county constable, Sandwich west, told of being summoned by Klingbie’s son. He came to the farm and found Selis and Richards.
Found Men in Wood
He said he also found Trojand and La Marsh in a wood near the farm. Both of them were asleep and very drunk and the four cases of whisky were lying near them, he said. Klingblie’s watch was found on Richards, he said.
Richards examined on this point said he had found the watch during the altercation which occurred and picked it up to save it from being stepped on. He did not know at the time whether it belonged to Klingbie or one of the other men and in the subsequent excitement forgot to make enquiries. The original charge against him on this point was robbery which Crown Attorney George Urquhart agreed to reduce to theft. Judge Gundy dismissed the charge.
Police claim that the liquor which the men had was stolen from Mrs. J. Ecker, 161 Wellington avenue, a week ago.
