From Our Own Correspondent
Apia, Feb. 4.
THOUGH not quite as extensive as in -*■ former years, the “home-brewing” industry is still flourishing in Samoa.
In two cases recently before Apia High Court, a Samoan and a part Samoan were prosecuted by the police for having faa-mafu (the local “homebrew”) on their premises, which contained more than 3 per cent, over-proof spirit. The contents were 8.79 and 4.2 per cent, res pectively, as analysed by the Government analyst. Commissioner R. V. Kay imposed fines of £lO and £7/10/-.
Prince Taufa’ahau, Crown Prince of Tonga, arrived in Sydney by the Aorangi on February 21, after spending his first holiday in his native land for three years.
The Prince has now commenced his last year’s attendance at Newington College.
Afterwards he intends to study law at Sydney University and later to go on to Oxford.
