LICENSEE’S RIGHTS
MAY ENTERTAIN FRIENDS.
(Per Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, October 12. An invitation by the licensee of the Queen’s Ferry Hotel to two friends to step over and have a nightcap after playing billiards, led to all three being ▲ before the Court on an after hours’ trading charge. They were taken to his private sitting-room, and liquor was given them out of a private decanter.
It was admitted by the prosecution that there was no suggestion of liquor having been sold. Mr. Hunt, S.M., in dismissing all the charges, said it would be an abrogation of the licensee’s common law rights to hold that he could not invite his friends to his house.
