REFRESHMENT HOUSES AND SUNDAY TRADING.
TEST CASE DISMISSED. [United Peess Association.] Auckland, March 8. Mr. Kettle, S.M., in giving judgment in the test case against the proprietor of a, refreshment room charged with a breach of the Police Offences Act by supplying refreshments on a Sunday afternoon, said that the Courts having been driven to hold that it was a work of necessity, in the meaning of section 17 of the Act, to supply meals in hotels, boarding houses, and refreshment rooms, no good end could be served by endeavouring to ascertain what number of meals or kind of refreshments are necessary to the public and what are not. *He, therefore, dismissed the information.
