A Case of Interest to Hotelmen A very interesting trial took place in Town hall, Haliburton, on Friday evening, before his worship Police Magistrate Fielding. The case tried was an infor- mation laid by Hotel Inspector Pruâ€"t against Mr. John Lucas, who keeps hotel in this village, for having on the 12th of July more than one bar in hi‘ hotel. On that day the Orange order held a celebra- tion in the village, and there were about a th usand visitors to be. entertained. Having only one hotel in the village the crowd there assembled was very large, and Mr. Lucas extended his bar to accom- modate his visitors. The Act distinctly states that there shall be only one bar kept in each hotel. It was fer this in- fringement of the law that Mr. Lucas was summoned. Mr. Lucas was rep- resented by Mr. Haverson, of the Licensed Victuallers Association, who at once ad- mitted that the bar in question was ex- tended on the 12th. but pointed out thatl the extension was made by merely put-' ting up a plank, and that the plank was}. removed before six o’clock the same even-1 ing. He then turned to the law, and said ‘ that the case should be dismissed as the” Act which declared there should be only lone bar applied to ligensed houses and ‘tbere was no evidence that Mr. Lucas’ wasa licensed house. His worship said that he would give this point his consider- ation. Mr. Haverson then continued and said that the Act stated that there should be only one bar kept in each hotel. It all turned on the word ‘kept,’ and he contend- ed thata bar being extended for a few hours on one day could not be construed into meaning ‘kept.’ He cited several cases in which the law had been put into, Operation. and in each case on appeal the judges of the higher courts have decided that a few hours, or even days, could not be considered as‘ meaning ‘kept.’ He made several other objections and was very strong on the point that merely ex- tending a bar on one particular day for a few hours, to accommodate the public, â€"â€"Two automobiles on Saturday beat the express in a race between Paris and St. Male, 3 distance of 226 miles, making the best: time ever recorded for an automobile, Covering the distance in 7 hours and 35 minutes.
