CABARET PROPRIETOR
SUNDAY TRADING ALLEGED [PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] CHRISTCHURCH, October 11. Six charges were preferred against Douglas Palmer Claridge, cabaret proprietor. New Brighton Road, at the Magistrate’s Court this morning. The charges, referring to six different days, were keeping open a house known as Claridge’s Country Club, on Sundays, for the purpose of transacting business. After the police evidence had been heard. Magistrate Mosley reserved his decision. Counsel for the defence held that if the Magistrate took the view it was a bona, fide club, he could not convict. A narrow interpretation of the Police Offences Act would mean that every club in the country could be charged. It would also jneam that places where bathing garments were hired on Sunday were contravening the law. That, he submitted, was not intended by the Legislature.
