BEER TO ENLIVEN THE DANCE.
IN A NO-LICENSE DISTRICT. [BT TELEGRAPH.—PBEBS ASSOCIATION.] Oamabtt, Monday. A case in which a 12- gall on keg of beer figured at a country dance came before the magistrate to-day. The police alleged that the beer was sold to those who consumed it, but the defence was that the affair was a " shilling in," and the subscribers and their friends consumed the beer. The magistrate dismissed the charge of selling, but fined the defendant £5 and costs for bringing liquor into a nolicense district without going through the necessary legal formula.
