SUNDAY AFTERNOON TEAS.
TEA ROOMS LEGALLY OPEN.
Wellington. April 1.
A rather important judgment was delivered by Dr. McArthur, S.M., at Petone, to-day, on the question whether or not it was legal for proprietors of tea-rooms and small shops to supply people who find; themselves away from their homes on Sunday with afternoon tea and other light refreshments. The police had prosecuted Sarah Snow for having kept her shop open on Sunday for the purpose alleged. The magistrate decided that to supply afternoon tea for consumption on the premises came under the heading of necessity. There had, therefore, been no infringement of the law, and the information was dismissed without costs.
