LIQUOR AT DINNER
ILLEGAL IN A RESTAURANT. CLOSED TO PUBLIC NO EXCUSE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, Aug. 16. Judgment has been given by Mr. Justice Kennedy in the appeal of Flora McDonald Lake against her conviction by a magistrate ort the charge of permitting or allowing liquor to be consumed in a restaurant at a time when licensed premises were required to be closed. The appeal was dismissed. The facts were that on a Saturday evening the Licensed Victuallers Cricket Association hired the restaurant and liquor was provide! by the association and consumed.
The real question of law involved was whether the room used was a restaurant after it had been closed to the general public. His Honour held that the closing of the restaurant to the general public did not allow consumption of alcoholic liquor on the premises, which remained a restauran , though the general public were debarred entry.
