NOVEL CONVICTION UNDER THE BEER ACT
—At the Croydon Petty Sessions on Monday a man named
Wilke, a beer-shop •keeper, appeared to answer an informa-
tion issued at the instance of the Commissioners of Excise,
charging him with selling. beer without a licence. It
appeared that the defendant bad formerly been duly
licensed to sell beer by retail, but that having com-
mitted an offence against the tenor of his license, he
was summoned before the Bench, and was convicted
Rod fined, and this proceeding, it was contended, had
the effect of rendering his license null and void. Some
difference of opinion existed as to whether the conviction in
point of law operated to that extent, but the solicitor to
the Board of Excise, who was applied to on the
subject, expressed his opinion that the moment a beershop.
keeper was convicted of any offence rgainst the tenor of
his license it became absolutely void. The present is,
however, the fist case that has been taken up with a view
t) decide the point. The defendant admitted that he had
sold beer since his conviction without obtaining a fresh
license. The Magistrates said they were clearly of opinion
that the defend,,nt had committed the offence imt?uted to
him, and they had cautioned him at the time he 'was con-
