ALLEGED SALE ON SUNDAY.

HOTELKIEPER AND BARMAN. LATTER DECLARED GUILTY. DECISION PARTIALLY RESERVED. The case in which Denis Markham, licensee of the Alexandra Hotel, and Frederick Frith, barman-porter, were charged in the Police Court with breaches cf the Licensing Act. by selling liquor on Sunday, April '27, was continued before Mr. J. E. Wilson, S.M., yesterday afternoon. As the' details published yesterday showed, there were four alternate charges against the defendants, of allowing the hotel to be open when it was required to be shut, and of selling liquor to an unknown informant and to two other persons named. Mr. McVeagh defended, and Sub-Inspector Wohlinann prosecuted-

Mr. McVeagh submitted that if money was paid to Frith, it was not accounted for, and this rebutted the implication of an agency, and tin- licensee would not be responsible. Further, Friths authority on the morning was limited. He was merely washing and cleaning the bar, and a sale by such a person would not b,e as apent for the licensee.

His Worship said lie had no doubt whatever to Friths guilt, but he would examine the evident as to Markham.
