There was a somewhat unusual personal passage across tlie table at the .Magistrate’s Court yesterday afternoon during the hearing of a licensing case in which Mr Joyce took up an attitude, that does not often occur, w ith the pointed intention of snubbing a junior though by no means small member of the local police force. Mr Joyce had raised a point of law as to a decision as affecting a bon a fide traveller, stating it was quoted in Joliffe and said if Sergl King (who was in charge of the prosecution) would supply him with a copy of the volume, lie would place it betore his Worship. Constable Quinn, who was ’sitting alongside Sergt King at the table at once got up and took the reference book mentioned, to Mr Joyce at the same time quoting a certain judgment. Mr Joyce in a very pointed manner asked who was in charge ot the prosecution and refused to accept the volume from the Constable, asking that it he handed over by tlie Sergeant in charge. The Constable dropped the hook in front of Mr Joyce without comment and returned to liis seat, in a silence that could he felt. It was an unusual occurrence, and it is as well that such passages are not of a frequent nature.

The one-time dead and' buried bona fide traveller under the Licensing Act was resurrected yesterday at the Magistrate’s Court during the hearing of a charge of being on licensed premises after hours, in which the licensee was also charged. After the Magistrate had notified his intention to convict the licensee of supplying liquor unlawfully, Mr Joyce- raised the point that three out of the five men charged with being unlawfully on the premises were bona tide travellers, inasmuch that they had travelled over three miles and that it had not been proved that they had gone into the hotel for the express purpose of getting a drink, hut that after they were in there, one of the three who had put up the defence that he was a hoarder, had shouted for the others. 11 is Worship in giving his decision stated that it was true that a bona fide traveller still existed, hut it was only for the purpose of using licensed premises in connection with his business and not for the purpose of procuring liquor after hours. In the case of the one who had shouted he entered a conviction and in the other two the question of judgment was adjourned for four weeks, his Worship stating in the meantime he would give the matter further epnsidoriit'ipih
