Police Y. Publicans.
[PBB PBE9S ASSOCIATION.']
Chbistchubch, Last night,
At the Supreme Court to-day Mr Justioe Donniston gave judgment in the case of Bullivant (appellant) v. Wilson (respondent). The appellant had been fined by Mr Beetham, R.M., for refusing to admit the respondent, a sergeant of police, into his licensed house, and the conviction was endorsed ou the appellant's license. It was contended at the hearing that no power existed to fine under the section for refusing to admit the police, and that a certain form, viz., the inspection of the register, not having been complied with the endorsation was bad. His Honor held that inspection of the register was a form prescribed by the Legislature as a condition precedent to the accrual of the right to make endorsement of the license part of the sentence, and he did not think that the magistrate was justified in assuming jurisdiction without complying with the procedure whioh created it. He thought, however, that the Court could amend the conviotion by striking out such part of it as ordered the endorsement of the license, and he gave judgment accordingly.
