THE VICTORIA HOTEL CASE.
ANOTHER INFORMATION DISMISSED. Reserved judgment was given in the ease of the Police v. Derham, at the Auckland Police Court on Friday, by Mr- Cutten, S.M. The defendant, for whom Mr. F. Earl appeared, was the licensee of the Victoria Hotel, and had been charged with supplying liquor to a man already in a state of intoxication, and also with permitting drunkenness on his premises. Mr. Cutten said the evidence showed that even if the man was in the bar there was nothing to justify him in assuming that the man was a noticeable object. He did not think that it was proved that the man was drunk when he was served with liquor, and the first charge would be dismissed. The charge of permitting drunkenness required proof of knowledge, and the evidence did not support this. This charge would also be dismissed.
