The Licensing Act.
(Per Press Association.) Auckland, January 25. Michael Harrison Walsh, licensee of the Albion Hotel was to-day charged with selling liquor during prohibited hours. Alter hearing the evidence His Worship dismissed the case. He said that nnder the Licensing Act it was necessary that every person who applies for a license should obtain from him a certificate that he is a fit and proper person to conduct a pnblichonse. A person who handed over the key of his bar to a boarder and let him go into the bar and do what he liked, was not, he considered, a fit and proper person to conduct a public-house, and he hoped Walsh would not come before him and ask him for a certificate.
