CABARET ON SUNDAY.
ORDER TO PAY COURT COSTS. {Per Press Association). WELLINGTON, August 3. "I think that the matter -was fairly arguable, and'probably concerts were put on in ignorauce of the fact that they constituted a breach of the law," said Mr E. Page, S.M., in a reserved judgment to-day, when he convicted and ordered the proprietors of the 'Mayfair Cabaret and the receiver for Ritz, Ltd., to pay Court costs on charges of keeping open their premises for the purpose of transacting business on Sundays. What was in dispute was the concert part of the proceedings. Mr Page ;held that it was a matater of degree, and in the cases in question he considered that the music was more than incidental to the consumption of refreshments and that it was concertpromoting.
