LICENSING LAW.
TIGHTENING UP THE ADMINISTRA- , TION.
Important additional regulations have been gazetted under the War Regulations Act. The main effect of the new regulations is to give the police more effective control over licensed houses and also to allow a licensee an opportunity of appearing before the Licensing Bench to give rebutting evidence in cases in which he is concerned. The regulations provide (inter alia):
Any superintendent or inspector of police may, with the approval of the Commissioner of Police, make application to the Licensing Committee of the licensing district in which are situated any premises held under a publican's license, for the cancellation of that license on any of the grounds following, namely: (a) That the licensee has committed a breach of the Licensing Act, MPS, or that he has committed a breach of any regulation made under section 3 of the War Regulations Amendment Act, 1010, relating to the sale of intoxicating liquor, or that he has committed a breach of any of the conditions of his license; or (b) that he has permitted the licensed premises to be frequented by disorderly or. disreputable persons; or (c) that he has failed to conduct the licensed premises in an orderly manner; or (d) that for any other reason (to be specified in the application) the licensee is not a fit and proper person to be the bolder of such license.
Upon the cancellation of any license under these regulations, if the licensee is not the owner of the licensed premises the chairman of the Licensing Committee may, on the request of the owner of the owner of the premises, order the licensee to vacate those premises. If the licensee fails to vacate the premises pursuant to the said order, he shall be deemed to have committed an offence against the War Regulations, and shall be liable accordingly. If the licensee is a lessee of sub-lessee of the licensed premises, the chairman may, on the request of the lessor or sub-lessor, execute in the name and on behalf of the licensee an assignment or surrender of the lease or sublease, and such assignment or surrender shall have the same effect as if it were executed by the licensee himself
