NIGHT VISIT TO HOTEL
OWNER’S SON IN BAR From Our Own Correspondent NEW PLYMOUTH, Today. A plea that a man found in the bar after hours by a police sergeant was the son of the owner of the hotel, and had come as the result of his complaints to repair a beer pump, did not save J. T. Gardiner, licensee of the Grosvenor Hotel, from being fined £3, and 10s costs, for unlawfully exposing liquor for sale, when charged in the New Plymouth Magistrate’s Court before Mr. R. W. Tate, S.M., yesterday. On May 18 a sergeant visited the hotel, and found the licensee and three men in the bar. Two of them were boarders, and thus entitled to be there. The case concerned the third, who said that he had gone there on behalf of his father to repair a beer pump of which the licensee had complained. The magistrate refused to accent fendants evidence on this point, and said he believed the visitor was there to get liquor. He therefore convicted Gardiner of exposing liquor unlawfully, and the police withdrew the other information.
