FLAW IN THE LICENSING ACT

Important Cuso in Wellington.

(BT TELEGRAPH -OWN COBKESyO'-D^^T.)

VVELLiN-Gfox, thi? day. An cxtr.'.oulinary ilnw in th.o Licensing Act M'a j brought to light during tho hearing of a case in (he- Magintrate'a Court yesterday, in which VV. \l Thr.mpfon, better known a? "Zulu" Th'-mp'on, Isceawse rf the A'ti(j3 Hotel, «-as eharjjtd (] \ vr:tii uaving a'nla« fully fold liquor nt unlicenisrl hi urs on rho Ist info to Alfred D. »,!an:hol ; and (2) with having remitted an uul-i«ful jrame to be p!ayel ■Ai*h rjico on his premises on the ?p.mo occa sion. F v th« (ietenoe, Mr Gully contended that the firstinformi.tirn must bediemir-sed, thj pro*ecutirn had failed to prove the hour at which tlie premises ought to have been cloned. Tliere was, he said, a vury peculiar point in connection with the case. The Licensing Act of U-81 pro vided thqt t!-.s tmur of closing for holders c{ ojctenued licenfe? should be 12 o'clock, an.] rhough a license might be extrude'! to 11 c'clor.k. 'here was n"thir£ in thp 4r.t to i'u that up the closing hour. 'Ilia Aot named only two hours for losing, iO and 12 o'clock, though : the nbsenoe of provirion for cen*}ng busi ness ft 11 '■'■ ai r'Tob.ibly an over»iaht» i Therettire, in order to Fupport an ir,(or malinn it was necefparv that the police should provo offlrmativcly that the sale took place after 12 o'clock. His Worphip affread u-ith Mr Rully ih it it tvas neceesary to prove that the. t; il rf took pla r .e ai»»r mid niujit. The orniefis!! ifoto' the Aot n< n curiou? one, very curicd*. He hold that the evidence was no; sufflo.irntly prcclso as to the hour at wiiich the liquor was sold and thorefore dismissed tha ease. Addrefsiug hinifelf to tho second charge Mr Gully submitted that there was nothing in the !.icu:..-ing Act defining dice <»s an unlawful pame. Tho general impression "tenifid to be that the use of oard^ („• dice ! was unlawful; hat ha s^a'ntnlued that these camee »s;a r u t unlawful, and ivenl only made uo Expregglj by certaiH atiitureg under pirtlculnr oircum?tancesf His Wovthlp took time to consider tho poinff1 Miserl, rfmarking that it was a neonli.r' 1' fact t'.at no definition of the term "nnlaw? 1,1 ful gamo" was niven in iho s'atme IV

MR BRYCE'S SPEECH.

Mr Bbyoe's meeting at Waverley M-as not well attended, and Mr Bryoo himse'f did not epor>k in his usual form, His remarks roppeefing the crc-Hit duo to tho A'kinson Government for onrfain matfocs connected with tlv> rut'ive pol cy, which had hern completed under tho piwent AHministra •ion, wsro well.Kceived, ns a-so the state ment <h>\t the policy of tho Ho vernment in relation' to To Whiti ■vas . ot po-sihlo ii. 1870. when o- ly a r'emnnflfrotinn of fnren could h.-ivo succ-oded in thoroughly rrsfc-irino; ennfideroe. He nhowed tha* the Premier, who now said that n-hat thpyhaddonewifhTo should have been fhn policy in 1ST!), was the very Minis ter who allowed HiraU to flaunt, bimPelf at Paiihaka without fear of arrett, and yet ihe Govermnsmt had a foreo of 1 000 A.C.'s on tho plains afraid to move. Mr Brycu's re marks regarding borrowing came with pa culiar freshness from hitj, 33 hra has always been noted for the anti-borrowing policy, but he seems now to have ehnncrad, and to a certain extent is prepared to admit that it is impossible to atop borrowini;, as sug gested by Sir Robert Stout. Tli3re was very little new niattflr in the speech, most of it having been said before in the House, and what wss new had purely locßl interest.
