LICENSING PROSECUTION.
DISMISSAL OF A CHARGE. REFERENCE BACK REFUSED. [BT TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CHR.ISTCHURCH. Thursday. An application was heard to-day by Mr. Justice Adams to have a licensing case remitted to the Magistrate's Court. The magistrate, Mr. 11. A. Young, dismissed a charge against Patrick Delargey of the Empire Hotel of selling liquor to persons not entitled to be supplied. The police applied for the case to be remitted to tho magistrate to hear a charge against Delargey of aiding and abetting. The judge said it was alleged that the offence was committed on June 18 last. If defendant was now charged under the information issued it would bo too late. It would be improper to refer the case back to the magistrate with a view to a charge being made undei anothor section of the Licensing Act. Tho application would be dismissed.
