PERMITTING DRUNKENNESS.
TIMARU, Last Night.
Mr G. V. Day, S.M., gave judgment to-day in the case in which Mr Tasker, a hotelkeeper at Fairlie, was changed with iper.mittai7g dlrunkemlness on his premises. The defence was that the man got drunk elsewhere, a>ud that in law he, as a lodger, had ,a right to he on the premises, over, if drunk. His Worship said th? facfrr wore clear that the man got drunk thm-e. As to the law rrferred to, a more recent decision than that -counsel had mentioned said that a man was legally on the premises, hut "It could not be contended that a licensee tvould not he liable for' permitting a dodger to gamble on the licensed premises. To my mind it would be a scandalous state of the law if the publican could, with impunity, 'supply unlimited liquor to a lodger and allow him to become drunk on his licensed premises." Defendant was fined £5, and his license was endorsed.
