summoned for keeping his home open for the sae of in-
toxicating liquors during prohibited hours on Bundy,
the 7th Mays—Sergeant Baskin stated that he visited the
defendants premises on Sunday morning, at 90 minutes
to 10 o'clock. He found the back door open, and on
entering saw two men named Burgess and Green, at the
bar. Green had a glass in his hand which he believed con-
tained brandy, and he drank the contents in his presence.
He did not see Burgess drink anything, but the landlord
handed him ad. change—Mr. Fry did not denr.htlis.
facts, but stated that he supplied the men with
penny-worth of brandy each because they were poorly.
Andre. Burgess and Henry Green, were summoned for
whir en the premises.—The sermant of the polies nomad
his former evidence—The men said they were taken ill
that morning, or they should not have gone to the house.
—The Bench fined the landlord 40e but under the circum-
stances, and as it wan his first offence, did not endorse the
conviction on his lianas The two men summoned for
being on the premises were fined 10s. each, and costs, and
were allowed a week for payment —The Mayor took no
part in the hearing of these cases, aa bats the owner of the
inn in question. [lt is quite clear a landlord has no right
"to pour .in the oils and wine" ;he had evidently
better pea by on the other aide].
