A labourer on a Southland station visited an accommodation house, where he got drunk. The licensee was absent, but his wife refused to allow the man to be put to bed although two other men offered payment. One of them tried to get the man away on horseback, but he was too drunlr to ride, and was left out all night, getting badly frostbitten. The police summoned the licensee for breach of the Act in reviving accommodation, and the Magistrate fined him £5 and coats, holding that the man wau a traveller, and that his wife was acting on behalf of the husband.
