Tim appeal was upheld i>n the ground that the transaction was a gift, not a sale of liquor. Judge Dcnnistuii said, however, that lie always approached gifts by publicans with the gravest suspicion, and would be sorry il his decision interfered with the very broad views held by .Magistrates in these cases. The Christchurch Working Men’s Club have resolved t> petition tho House of Representatives not to legislate further ill any shape as to the cuiduet or management or clubs. It was decided to send a, copy of the petition to till Working Men’s Clubs in the Colony. The Dunedin Licensing Bench granted a wholesale license to June to a firm at present holding a bottle license who have a largo stock on hand in bulk. The Bench intimated that it was intended to substantially reduce the already existing •wholesale licenses. The Stipendiary Magisfrate at Feilding (ALr Stanford ) ruled th.it a prohibition order signed by two Justices of the Peace was invalid, as such order could only bo issued by a Stipendiary Magistrate.
