CLAIM FOR LIQUOR SOLD.

(From Ocr Own Correspondent.) WANGANUI, December 2. A point of some importance to hotelkeepers was decided by Air W. Kerr, S.M., at the Magistrate’s Court this morning in a case in which G. Allen sued Niel Wilson for £4 13s 6d. The plaintiff was formerly licensee of the Albion Hotel, and the defendant owed him £2 for money lent and £2 13s 6d for board and liquor. He gave the plaintiff an I O U for £4 15s 6d. The defendant paid £2 into court, and claimed as the balance was for liquor it could not be recovered, the law prohibiting such an action. The Magistrate held that, as tho defendant had given an I 0 U for the amount, that constituted a fresh promise to pay, and it was too late for the defendant to raise the point on which lie relied. He accordingly gave judgment for the amount claimed, with costs, less the amount paid into court.
