Extension of Drinking Hours in England
COURT DENIES IT
LONDON, April 26. "I regret the decision, because the Magistrates who made the order know the district and what its residents and visitors want,” said Mr. Justic Hamphreys, in concurring with the Chief Justice, Lord Hewart, and Mr. Justice Avory in the opinion that the Steyning (Sussex) Magistrates’ order extending the* opening of the hotels half an hour iu summer time was illegal. The decision affects 120 holiday resorts in the South of England, whore the licensing justices have extended hotel hours since 1921.
The Daily Mail says it regards the prohibition of summer-time extension
hate being treated like silly children
and deprived of the right oi' judgment. It is due to Dismal Dora, an imbecile,
of drinking hours as unfortunate, "as it will deter the visits of foreigners and send Britons abroad, as people
mischievous law, the reform of which p, handful of faddists has repeatedly prevented.”
