SCOPE OF THE SHOPS ACT.
, « BOARDING-HOUSES EXEMPT. , By Telegraph—Press Association. - Auckland, February 7. Mr. Fraser, S.M., gave his decision today in the case of the Inspector of Fa«tories v. Mrs. Scherf, proprietress of Glenalvon Boarding-house, who was charged that she failed to keep the time and wages tiooK' required by the Shops and Offices Act. The judgment; is important as affecting first-class -boarding-houses. The magistrate said an offence could not.be said to have been committed. The defendant" provided meals for soveral of the public. If the Legislature intended to bring all boarding establishments within the scope' of the Shops Act, some more general ap- • plication, that of a private hotel or boarding-house, for instance, would, in 'bis opinion, have been chosen. The general purpose of the Act was 1 the regulation of »hops. He held that a boarding-house such as Glenalvon was not a private hotel within the meaning of section Q of the Act, and dismissed the information. ; « " ■»' '
