Licensing Prosecution.
(l»Ktt UNITED PftKSS ASSOCIATION. BleiYueui, Sunday. A case under the Licensing Act came before the ltosident Magistrate's Court this morning on an information by the police against a publican for selling liquor at the Druids' ball m the Oddfellows' Hall, such place not being a place of public amusement within the meaning of the 86th section of the Licensing Act. Tho publican held a conditional license granted by the Licensing Committee to sell at the ball, but it was contended by the police that the Committee had no power to grant it, as admission was by ticket, and the Druids had power to exclude the public. Mr Allen, R.M., said the point was a very doubtful one, but he dismissed the information, recommending tho police to have such an important matter tested by writ' of prohibition m the Supreme Court.
