NO CONVICTION
LICENSEE AND BARMAN CHARGED
VISITORS OR BOARDERS?
“It was a holiday week-end and it would not be safe to convict,’- said Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., at the Police Court this morning, dismissing charges against a licensee, a barman and three visitors.
C. H. Trigg, of the City Hotel, was charged with opening an hotel for the sale of liquor after hours and selling; D. Black was charged with supplying liquor after hours and A. McKenzie, P. McKenzie and J. O’Tlanlon with being found on licensed premises after hours. Mr. Moody entered pleas of not guilty on all counts. After evidence had been heard on the question of whether the men were genuine boarders the magistrate dismissed the case. Sergeant Campagnola said that he had found two parties drinking in the bar. The licensee had said, indicating the McKenzies and O’Hanlon: “I don’t know these three. They have no right here." Triggs explained that what he had meant was that they were not down on the book because he had forgotten to bring forward the entry from the previous evening.
The magistrate, in accepting the story put forward by the defence, remarked that two of the three men had certainly stayed at the hotel on the night before.
