Bring Fines
THE managers of two Indian firms in Lautoka, who evidently failed to familiarise themselves with the Defence Regulations dealing with communications with firms in enemy territory, were prose puted in the Magistrate’s Court at the end of October, and each fined £3 by the Resi dent Magistrate, for submitting communi cations to firms in Germany.
The cases were brought as a warning and both defendants pleaded guilty says the “Fiji Times”.
The letters, which were ordinary busi ness communications, were intercepted by the censors.
