To-day Mr Justice Cooper quashed a conviction recorded by the Magistrate against Donnelly, ex-licensee of the New Zealander Hotel, for allowing liquor to be consumed after hours. The proceed- [ ings arose out of a smoke concert held m the hotel by the Ramblers Football Olub. His Honor held that on the facts it could not be claimed that appellant had connived at a breach of the law. It has been urged, added the judge, "that if the appeal is allowed it will be difficult to enforce the law. I do not agree with this. The simple remedy is that the police shall insist on all entertainments, if held m lioensed houses, ceasing at the hour at which the house is directed to bo closed.
