A decision of considerable importance to publicans was given by Mr Hardcastle in the Resident Magistrate’s Court, Wellington, recently. A few days ago, William Gilmer, of the Royal Oak Hotel, Mannersstreet, was charged with having, on Sunday, the Bth instant, committed a breach of the Licensing Act by supplying liquor to three men, who were found with the drinks before them. Mr E. Shaw, who appeared for the defendant, urged that there hud been no breach of the law, as Rice, one of the men who was drinking, had only arrived that day from Nelson, and was a bonaflde traveller, with a right to entertain his two friends, who had dined with him in the house, and were having a drink afterwards. Mr Hardcastle decided that the evidence, was not sufficient to convict, and dismissed the information. Upon the occasion in question, the defendant was clearly entitled to sell to Riue, who was a bona fide traveller, within the meaning of the Act.
