Liquor In Dance Halls: Important Judgment
[Per Press Association. —Copyright] DUNEDIN, This Day.
A pronouncement holding that the Dunedin City Corporation’s by-law which prohibits the possession of, or the consumption of, liquor in any building licensed as a public hall and used for entertainment of which dancing forms a part, is unreasonable, is embodied in the reserved decision of the Chief Justice. Sir Michael Myers, in an appeal case of Frederick Page v. William John Harvey. The appeal is allowed.
This case was an appeal against the conviction in the Lower Court of Page, who, as licensee of the Peter Pan Cabaret, was prosecuted and fined under by-law 23 for permitting to be brought into a public hall liquor for use at or during a function of which dancing formed a part without permission in writing from the town clerk.
