LIQUOR AFTER HOURS.
' it PURCHASE BY LODGER, INTERESTING LAW POIXT. *\ (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) ' ' WHAKATANE, this day. An interesting point arising under th* licensing law is involved in the reserved decision given by Mr. W. G. Kenrick S.M. A local hotel keeper was charged by the police with keeping open M« premises for the sale of liquor when they were required to be closed, and selling liquor when the premises were directed to be closed. The facts were that a lodger was stopped by the police when he was taking away a quantity of liquor from the premises in a car at 19 p.m. Mr. R. F. Smith (counsel for defend* ant) contended that there had been na previous reported decision on the matter, and that there was nothing in the Licensing Act to prevent a lodger purchasing liquor in any quantity for consumption off the premises. The magistrate upheld counsel's con* tention and dismissed both charges.
