PROHIBITION ORDERS
Per- Praea Association. Auckland, last nighi
The valuo of prohibition orders is stroDgly questioned, but Magistrate Kettle is a believer in tbeir efficacy. H 9 stated in Court to-day that he was quite satisfied that prohibition orders did a great deal of good, and in this he was supported by the police. Of ooucse there were numerous oases where men gat drink in defiance of orders. In his opinion these best abla to judge were magistrates and police, and the police were with him in thinking that the orders, although they did not absolutely prohibit, had a deterrent effect, and in that respect were good. As far as hotelkeepers were oonoerned, they could only be oonvioted of serving prohibited persons when it was shown that they knew that a person wa3 prohibited, or did not take reasonable precautions to find out, He still held the opinion that prohibition orders had a very good effect, end that it was worth while to issue them, and he would continue to do so, notwithstanding statements made bv persons not in a position to judge.
