LICENSING CASE.
BONA FIDE TRAVELLERS.
Per Press Association. Christchurch, last night.
In Banco to-day Judge Denniston allowed an appeal against the conviction of the Stipendiary Magistrate for a publican having supplied two men who had ridden 7| miles with drink on Sunday. The men admitted they had ridden from New Brighton for a drink, but this was not known to the publican. The Judge said he could not see why the men who chose a Sunday evening to take a bicycle nae 71 miles and back, and before returning calling at a publichouse for a small glass of shandygaff were to be presumed to have done so merely because they desired to go to a publichouse and obtain drink. The Judge was also of the opinion that the publican served the men as bona fide travellers, and took all reasonable precautions. ________
