How to get a Cheap drink.
One of the most ludicrous of the many peculiar provisions of that triumph of legal ingenuity, the new Licensing Act, is section 22, -subsection 5, where it is solemnly enaoted that it shall bajawful for a licensee to sell lftj^p^&t any time to a lodger or -a bona fide traveller seeking refreshment on arriving from a journey, provided that the liquor so sold is personally consumed on the premises by such traveller and by no other person. The lodger can buy the liquor, but cannot drink it. After purchasing a
glass of refreshment the only satis
faction he can get is to see a - traveller drink it ; although when no traveller is available even that vicarious satisfaction is denied the unfortunate lodger. — Post.
