PERMITTING DRUNKENNESS
A LODGEit'S POSITION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Timaru, Last Night. Mr. Day, S.M., gave judgment to-day in the case of Tasker, hotel-keeper, of fairlie, charged witli permitting drunkenness on his premises. The defence was that the man got drunk elsewhere, arid tnat, according to law, as a lodger he had a right to be on the premises even if drunk. The Magistrate said the facts were clear. The man got drunk there. As to the law referred to, a more recent decision than counsel had mentioned said that the man wag legally on the premises, but, he continued, it could not be contended that a licensee would not be liable for permitting a lodger to gamble on the licensed premises. To his mind it would be. a scandalous state of the law if a publican could with impunity supply unlimited liquor to a lodger and allow him to become drunk on his licensed premises. Defendant was fined £5, and his ]iconso endorsed.
