SUNDAY CONCERTS
A CABARET ATTRACTION NOMINAL PENALTY IMPOSED. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, August 3. "I think the matter was fairly arguable, and that probably the concerts were put on in ignorance that they constituted a breach of the law,” said Mr E. Page, S.M., in his reserved judgment to-day, when he convicted and ordered the of Mayfair Cabaret, and the receiver for Ritz Ltd. to pay court costs on the charges of keeping open their premises for the purpose of transacting business on Sundays. What was in dispute was the concert part of the proceedings. Mr Page held that it was a matter of degree, and, in the cases in question, he considered that the music was more than incidental to the consumption of refreshments, and that it was concert promoting.
