FOUND IN HOTEL
AFTER CLOSING HOUR.
CHARGES AGAINST MEN AND WOMEN. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, August 6. “There is nothing for these young people to do and nowhere for them to go. If’ they want to have a decent quiet evening cut they have to go to an hotel. I, myself, have seen many of these young people roaming around the streets as they are told they cannot go here and must not go there.” This comment was made by Mr E. C. Levvey, S.M., in the court today when six men including soldiers and five women were charged with having been on licensed premises after hours. Counsel said that the men had gone to the hotel at the invitation of a boarder for a sing-song. One man was a total abstainer. No penalty except the payment of costs was imposed on eight of the party. Two had charges against them dismissed while one was fined £2 for having purchased liquor. The Magistrate emphasised the fact that the law must not be broken even though the young people had not gone to the hotel to purchase liquor. A charge against the publican and the barman was adjourned for a week.
