LICENSING APPEAL
PUBLICAN v. SMOKE CONCERT. By. Telegraph. —Press Association. Wellington, Tuesday. To-day Mr. Justice Cooper quashed the conviction recorded by the magistrate against Donnelly, ex-license© of the New Zealander fiotel, for having allowed liquor to be consumed after hours. Proceedings arose out of a smoke concert held in the hotel by the Ramblers' Football Club. His Honor held that on the facts it could not be claimed that appellants had convived at the breach of law. "It has been urged," added the Judge, "that if this appeal is allowed it will be difficult to enforce the law. I do not agree with this. The simple remedy is that the police shall insist on all entertainments if held in a licensed house ceasing at the hour at which the house is directed to be closed."
