(Pee Press Association.) Important to Publicans, Dunedin, Dec, 7. A test case was brought in the Police Court yesterday against Watson, a publican, to settle whether under the new Act hotels must be kept closed on Sundays. The facts, as admitted by the defendant, were that the door was open, that there was access to the bar by that door, and that a. person was behind that bar prepared to'serve. It was argued for the defence that the Act contemplated keeping open a bar. for the sale of refreshmnets to travellers, &c. Judgment was reserved till to-day, when the Bench decided that the Licensing Act does not prohibit ihc keeping open of the doors of hotels, or access to bars, or a person’s being there to serve travellers.
