THE NEW SHOPS AND SHOP ASSISTANTS ACT.
Section 3 of the Shops and Shops Assistants Act, 1894, and Section 7 of the Act of 1895 have been repealed by the new Act which came into force yesterday. Now all shops, except where certain businesses are carried on exclusively, must close at 1 o'clock on the afternoon of one working day in the week. If a public holiday occurs in the week and tbe shop is closed, this is sufficient. The shops exempted are fishmongers, fruiterers, confectioners, coffee houses, eating bousss, and railway bookstalls. Hairdressers' shops are not exempt "by the new Act, and therefore niust be token to come under the section cited above.
