It was supplied by John Timnfski. When he left the White Hart Hotel he was quite sober, Bv Mr Aoheson: Mrs Hamilton has refused to serve mo wiih drink on several occasions. John Tirnofski deposed that he remombered being in the White Hart Hotel with Herrick. He had a whisky and Herrick had a beer. Mrs Hamilton served them. Saw Hertick and James Hannah go into the hotel together about 2 o'clock p.m., and saw them come out from the hotel some timo after. Herrick was then pretty well diunk. By Mr Acheson; I got the drinks from Mrs Hamilton. She did not know that ono of them was for Herrick, neither did I know that Herrick was a prohibited person. To the Court; I did not have to P*"" jtRHK O " to the Commercial / took tho liquors. I hear Herrick ask for any . drinks. He gave me a shilling and asked me to get two drinks, which I did. Constable Darby; Proved that a prohibition order was in force against Herrick and that a copy of the order had been served on Mrs Hamilton. Also that Herrick has been several times the worse for liquor since tho prohibition order has been in force aud had been locked up on two oc-< casions. Mr Aoheson submitted that the case must be dismissed on the grounds (1) That there was no evidence that Herrick was a prohibited person, (2) Tlmt there was no ovidence that Mrs Hamilton was the licensee of the premises, (3) That Constable Darby had not given proof of being the proper officer to prosecute. (4) That there was no ovidence of any sale of liquor by the licensee. (5) That Mrs Hamilton hud no knowledge of the drink being served. His Worship overruled tlio first three objections, nnd decided to hear evideiy" ion the question of actual sale, Mr-.Hamilton deposed that slio was •. of the White Hait not supply Herrick with any mink, nor waß she aware that he was on tho premises when she supplied tho other man with drink. To the Court; She had refused Herrick on several occasons, After carefully-reviewing the ovidence HisWorsliip said that he could not come to any conclusion .but that the prohibited person had been served with tho drink, if not by the licensee herself it must have been by some ' one in her employ. A penalty of 203 with costs lis, would therefore be inflicted, ALLEGED SUNDAY TRADING, A second information for alleged Sunday trading, arising out of the same case, was then ciiled on, Mrs Hamilton being charged with supplying drink to W.
