THE LIQUOR LAWS.
(BY TELEGRAPH. PEE3S ASSOCIATION). Wellington, Last Night. The Appeal Court is hearing the case Brown v. Foley, which raises the question whether an hotel keeper can at his own expense supply a bona fide friend with liquor during prohibited hours, or can he invite him to dinner and give him liquor. Mr Skerritt, for the appellant, submitted that the prohibition was limited to the consumption of liquor purchased, although purchased before the c'osiug hours. Later. The Court unanimously decided that the appeal should be allowed. The point decided was that it is lawful for an hotelkeeper to supply liquor during prohibited hours at his own expense to a bona fide friend. The judement of the Chief Justice was affirmed with coats.
