THE TRAVELLER QUESTION.
One or two of the looal publicans have devised a method of dealing with those who, under the assumption, that they are travellers, aek to be served with liquor on Sunday b. A " Visitors' Book "is provided, at the head of each page of which are printed the clauses of the Licensing Act dealing with Sunday trading. Underneath are ruled columns, with headings, including the occupation and address of those who demand to be Berved, the date on which, the request ia made and the place where the applicant slept on the previous night. The applicant is required to fill in these columns before his wants can be attended to, and if the particulars are not found to be satisfactory he has to go empty away. In one instance the book was made to Berve another purpose. The publican thipking a name put down was somewhat familiar to him, although he did not know the applicant by sight, looked through his file of prohibition orders, and there found that the man was a prohibited person. He was confronted with the order, and quickly followed advice to clear out before a policeman was sent for.
