A PECULIAR POSITION.
IS THE HOTEL LICENSED? By Telegraph—Press Association. CARTERTON, December 15. A peculiar point was raised at sourt yesterday in a charge against the licensee of the Club Hotel of permitting drunkenness on the premises. The licensee is dead, and the business is being carried on by his widow, tinder a permit signed by the Stipendiary Magistrate. -The Act says the permit must be signed by the Magistrate and two members of the Licensing Bench. Counsel for defendant raised this point, and also that the former licensee, having died intestate, no one was authorised to hold the license till letters of administration were issued. The case was dismissed, and it is uncertain whether the hotel is now Jicensed or not.
