UNLAWFUL SALE OF LIQUOR
LODGER SERVED BY HOTEL CLERK. Dominion Special Service. Christchurch, February 21. An information charging Claude H. Piper, licensee of the Clarendon Hotel, with permitting Stella Cadigan to serve in the bar of the hotel, she not being a licensed barmaid, was dismissed when heard in the Magistrate’s Court. Mrs. Cadigan was employed as a clerk in the hotel, and in the absence of the licensee she entered the bar to secure an order of liquor for a lodger and his guest. An appeal was made by the police to the Supreme Court. The contention of counsel for the respondent was that once the bar was closed to the public, it became simply a storeroom for liquor. From this view Mr. Justice Adams dissented, holding that a bar remained so for twentv-four hours of the day. He referred the case back to the Magistrate, with the opinion that a conviction should be recorded. Costs, £8 Bs., were allowed.
