IMPORTANT RULING.
LICENSING CASE. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Feb. 23. Mr J. R. Batholomew, S.M., gave his decision this morning in the licensing test case in which Matthew Henry Dawson was charged with breaches of he Licensing Act. holding that no proceedings could be taken for a breach of the condition on which the license was issued for a booth at the Dunedin Jockey Club's summer meeting at Wingatui. The alleged breaches of the conditional license were that women were allowed in the public booth at the racecourse and that defendant exposed liquor to a woman.
Tlie Magistrate said the facts did not support the charge of “allowing," which required knowledge or something in the nature of connivance on tlie part of the licensee; also, the charge of exposing was clearly insupportable.
