Singular Licensing Case.
The following telegram from the Thames has gone the rounds, and we repeat it for what it is worth, but we should hardly advise publicans to do any act contrary to the •*■ tattite, during the hours which it is pre sumed the licensed premises are "a private dwelling." This is the telegram : - An interesting case has been heard here in connection with the administration of the Licensing Act. Sergeant billies, the local police officer, brought in a charge against three men for disorderly conduct, and refusing to leave a hotel on Christmas morning at 2 o'clock. The charge was lodged under clauses 152 and 153 of the Licensing Act, 1881, but was dismissed by the Justices (after consultation with the Resident Magistrate), on the ground that the alleged offence having been committed out of licensed hours, the hotel was for the time being a private dwelling.
