In the absence of any evidence or record demonstrating the seriousness or extent of the obstruction and in light of prior appellate decisions treating similarly situated licensed hawkers as first offenders, the $1,000 fines were excessive and should be reduced (generally to $600); a single elderly appellant who was not hawking but had two cartons of pears warranted a further reduced fine of $200.
