AFTER-HOUR TRADING.
COMPLAINT IN PALMERSTON. WARNING FROM BENCH. ; t (By Telegraph—Press Association.) PALMERSTON NORTH, this day. At the Licensing Bench annual meeting, the transfer of the license of the Princess Hotel to Joshua John Swiggs was refused. The chairman said that Swiggs at the present time only held a temporary license, confirmation of which had been held up on account of intoxication on the premises being permitted. In the interim, Swiggs had been convicted of a very bad case of selling liquor after hours. The committee was really of opinion that the hotel needed rebuilding. It was not up to standard. A request on behalf of the previous licensee of the hotel for a renewal of a publican's license was adjourned to next quarterly meeting. The chairman said there had been a good deal of complaint about after hours' drinking.
The Inspector of Police: Can you name any particular hotel?
The chairman; No, it is going on in more than one. The police were asked to use their best endeavours to curb such a tendency.
