A FINE POINT.
IN LIQUOR LEGISLATION. (Per Press Association.) Grey mouth May 1. An interesting point awaits magisterial decision at Ahaura. A publican was charged with selling liquor on a Sunday, but the charge was dismissed as the defendant proved that the men served were bona fide boarders. The police then charged the same defendant with permitting a female not registered as a barmaid, to serve liquor in the bar on the same occasion. It was contended for the defence that Sunday was not a day on which licensed premises were, open for the sale of liquor, although certain persons might be supplied, and that' -the employment of registered barmaids as expressed by the Act was obligatory only "while the bar is open for the sale of liquor." The Magistrate reserved his decision, to be given in Greymouth during the week.
