Sunday Trading.
Chiustciiurch, Feb. 27.
An important decision under the Licensing Act was given to-day by Mr Justice Denuiston, in banco, on an appeal against the decision of che Stipendiary Maistrate.
The latter dismissed the information against a hotelkeeper for supplying more than one drink to bona fide travellers at New Brighton on Sunday. The persons supplied arrived early in the morning,' and had three drinks at intervals during the day, the last at 4 p.m. The Magistrate found that they were persons under the Act of ISfid arriving from a journey, and dismissed the information.
The Judge held that the Magistrate was wrong in dismissing the case. The intention of the Legislature was that a traveller should satisfy his thirst induced by a journey, but not a thirst induced at a place to which he journeyed. His Honour upheld the appeal with costs.
