Mr.. Vaughan, In support OF the
motion. said that the baths were in

corporation had found that there was
no use for the bath I'm the winter

ford "healthful recreation" which
was Legitimate. He submitted that a
cinema entertainment did not come
within this description.
After hearing counsel. the judge
