HOTEL BAR SWEARING
AFTER HOURS VISITORS
LIABLE TO CONVICTION
(Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. A private bar is a public place and persons using indecent language there, even alter hours, are liable to conviction, according to a judgment of the Magistrate, Mr. J. H. Luxford, S.M., in a case in which three _ men were so charged following a disturbance which took place when the police entered the private bar of the Imperial Hotel and found the licensee, his wife and a barman serving, and a scene no different from an ordinary bar at a busy period of the day. He construed the word “open” as meaning “open to the public’ and not “open to the street.’’
