John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 21 April 1925:
ON A SUNDAY
SELLING SECTIONS PROHIBITED
—–
As the result of a judgment delivered by Mr. C. R. Orr Walker, S.M., to-day, land salesmen may not show prospective buyers over sections for sale on a Sunday.
The case in point was one in which James Francis Egan, of the Dominion Land Investment Company, Wellington, land salesman, was charged with working at his calling on a Sunday.
The prosecution alleged that a breach of the Act had been committed when the defendant showed two prospective buyers over sections for sale at #Johnsonville on a recent Sunday.
“It is clear that the defendant was working at his calling,” said the Magistrate, “which I take it, is his regular work or occupation. As he did this on a Sunday, and in view of a public place, I think he has brought himself within the prohibition of the Police Offences Amendment Act.”
As the prosecution was regarded as a test case, the defendant was ordered to pay costs.

MAGISTRATE’S COURT
…
For selling #liquor on a Sunday, John Douglas M‘Kechnie, the licensee of the Thistle Inn Hotel, and Arthur Pike, a porter, were each fined £10 [ca. $1,200 today] and costs. John Casey, Thomas Hodges, and August William Stafford, who had been found on the premises, were each fined £2 [ca. $240] and costs. The Magistrate said that the case was of a serious nature, and if the licensee appeared before the Court again, the question of endorsing his license would have to be considered.
