HOTEL BARS.
-+ Sir Robert Stout, in his speech in the House last night on the Shop Act, expressed his opinion that the only way to settle the weekly half-holiday question satisfactorily was to close all business premises— hotels included— at 1 o'clock on Saturdays. He thought, seeing that the Bill applied to bank clerlis, it should also apply to Civil servants, who in many cases were kept working at all hours of the night, and even on Sundays. There was only one amendment, however, that he would press, and that was relating to the closing of hotel bars for the weekly half-holiday, which, as will be seen by our Parliamentary report elsewhere, was carried. The Bill, however, has yet to pass the Upper House.
