INTERESTING LICENSING CASE
WHAT IS AN "EXISTING LICENSE" P By Tcleeraph—Press Association—Coprrlifht. (B»c. March 9, 9.20 p.m.) Sydney, March 9. A publican at Leichhardt, one of the city suburbs, has been fined .630 for selling liquor without a license. The caso is important, as it arises out ■of the last local option poll. The point involved affects altogether 183 licenses. Under the 1908 local option poll Leichhardt voted reduction, and the defendant's hotel was ordered to be closed. At' the 1910 poll Leichhardt favoured the continuance of existing licenses, and the magistrate decided that the term "existing licenses" applied to the defendant's hotel, which it had been ordered to close at a given period. It is intended to take a test case to the Higher Court, and fight out the question whether the closing of hotels applies where electorates have voted reduction at . one poll, and continuance at a subse- ' fluent poll. •
