AN UNREGISTERED BARMAID

EMPLOYED UNDER SISTER'S NAME. Frederick Hilton, licensee of the National Hotel, was charged, before Mr. E. Page, S.M., at the Magistrate's Court this morning with having employed an unlicensed barmaid at the hotel. SubInspector Emerson mentioned that action had • been. taken previously against a barmaid named Jessie Jackson; for being an unregistered barmaid, but that action was not upheld owing to a defect in the wording of the charge. In the present action, Jackson would be charged with aiding and abetting Hilton. Mr. P. W. Jackson, for the defence, said that ft would be admitted that Jackson was employed at the hotel, and that, she was, in fact, an unregistered barmaid, if the police would admit that Sadie M Alpine, a sister of Jessie Jackson, was a registered barmaid, and that Jackson used her sister's license to obtain employment at the hotel. The police agreed to this course, and evidence was then called in support of the charge. • The defence was, as suggested by counsel—that Jackson had obtained employment under her sister's name and license. The defendant stated that as soon as he was aware of. irregularity, the barmaid was dismissed. j Jackson had signed her name on the wage sheet as M'Alpine, judgment was reserved.
