LICENSING CHARGE FAILS
Women In Racecourse Booth By 'Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, February 23. Mr. J. R. Batholomew, S.M., gave a decision this morning in a licensing test case, in which Matthew Henry Dawson was charged with breaches of the Licensing Act, holding that no proceedings could be taken for a breach of the condition on which a licence was issued for a booth at the Dunedin Jockey’ Clubs Summer Meeting at Wingatui. The alleged breaches of the conditional licence were that women were allowed in the public booth at the racecourse and. that liquor was exposed to a. woman. ,The magistrate said that the fa.cte did not support a charge of “allowing, which required knowledge of something in the nature of connivance on the part of the licensee.” Also, the charge of exposing was clearly insupportable.
