THE LAW RELATING TO BARMAIDS.
CTsr Press Association.)
;: WELLINGTON, Dec. 17. A legal opinion on the -Barmaids Registration Amendment Act of the last session is that the Act is just as faulty as the measure it amended, in that while it purports to prevent the employment of unregistered .barmaids in ■private bars, it fails entirely to do so. This failure is said to he due to the fact.that no such place as a private bains known to the law. Recently, the secretary of the Hotel Employees'. Federation wrote to the Minister of Justice stating that unregistered girls were still employed in private- bars. The Minister was asked either to put the Act into operation, or if it .were really defective to have the position tested.. Tho Hon. A. L. Herdman has just reinlied that the Commissioner of Police has. ihcen instructed to place the whole matter before the Crown officers for consideration and report.
