CHRISTCHURCH.
Tuesday. In the Supreme Court to-day the appeal case of Segina versus Barrett came on for hearing. Barrett is a publican in Christchurch, and was fined some time ago for not paying a fee for what 'i/io Magistrate termed an extra bar. The so called bar was a sort of half-door in a tap-room, and defendant's counsel being of opinion that only bars opening direct to the street came within the defiinition of the word bir, as used in the Licensing Act, he appealed against the decision of the Magistrate. After a long argument to-day, the matter was referred back to the Magistrate's Court for a statement of the case, but Judge Johnson expressed himself to the effect that a bar must be open direct on to the street before a license fee under the Act can be demanded for it.
