DRINK CURFEW.
LIFTING POSTPONED. FRESH CONDITIONS IMPOSED. LONDON", August 27. Xew rulss issued by the Home Secretary to-day postpone the thirstily anticipated extension of the liquor hours, even to the extent of midnight supper drinks. The Licensing Act comes into force on September 1, hut license holders must apply to the Licensing Sessions in September, besides unifying the local police superintendent. Hence the drink curfew cannot end in the City of London before September 14, and in the West End before October 4. Moreover, both police and justices must he satisfied that thf hotel or restaurant is a lit and proper place. This may lead to trouble where rival establishments, though possibly in the- same street, are situated in different licensing areas, and are dependent upon the discretion of the magistrates for the new privilege.
