John Arnold_The Evening Post_, 22 June 1923:
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.
