ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Traveller. —We cannot insert your letter as it contains a quasi criminal charge against an individual. We may, however, state that the house you refer to holde a conditional license, that the licensee is bound to afford accommodation and refreshment at all reasonable hours, and that if your statement is correct that the house was closed at 5 p.m., a breach of the law , has been committed, which the Licensing Court will investigate if the matter ia brought before it. Defendant.—Evidence given in a Court of Justice is, as you are perfectly aware, public property. We must decline to inßerl an unsworn and unauthenticated statement, the only effect of which would probably be to provoke a recriminatory correspondence on what is purely a matter for private opinion. Artemus. —As we have determined not to open up a discussion on what, after all, is only a personal matter, we must decline your letter.
