"A FARCICAL PROCEEDING."
To the Editor. Sir, Your correspondent "Searchlight" endeavors to make out a strong case against all the parties, including the Magistrate, in the recent licensing case for not using the names of certain people. There is a saying that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Your correspondent is very much in a glass house, as he is afraid to mention even his own initials, lie refers to the parties whose names were suppressed as witnesses. I am afraid he is suffering from cold water on the eye, otherwise he would have confined himself strictly to facts. One of these men was never called as a witness, and the Magistrate was unaware that the other was to lie called. The case was decided by the Magistrate in my favor, which should convince any unbiassed persons'that there was no drunkenness 011 the premises. Therefore there was 110 111010 need to mention these people's names than there would be to mention the names of all the people who visited the hotel during thit day.—l am. etc., GEORGE BISHOP.
