At a meeting of the Otago and Southland Licensed Victuallers’ Association, the Rev. W. Thompson (association agent) stated that tho Dunedin hotelkeepers warn very careful in the manner of conducting their houses, but there were two or three who remained in deliberate ignorance of tho aims and working of the association, and these gave all the trouble. Ho mentioned one instance where he saw about 20 women enter a hotel in less than 20 minutes, at a side door, and when he went in he saw them drinking liquor. He strongly objected to the practice. The Licensing Committee also strongly objected to women drinking at the bar. It was agreed, after a long discussion, that the pre3 ident should wait upon the inspector of police, and state the attitude of the association to anyone who broke or connived at any breach of the licensing laws. Not only had the association forbidden anything ot the kind, but it desired to see such law-breakers severely punished.
