A LODGER’S PRIVILEGES.
WHAT DO THEY INCLUDE?
LPEE PRESS ASSOCIATION.! TIMARU, June 13. Mr V. G. Day, S.M., gave judgment to-day in the case of Tasker, a hotelkeeper at Fairlie, who was charged with permitting drunkenness on his premises The defence was that the man got drunk elsewhere, and, in law, that as a lodger he had a right to be on the premises even if he were drunk. His Worship said l : “The facts are clear that the man got drunk there. As to the law referred to a more recent decision than counsel had mentioned, said that the man was legally on the premises, but it can not be contended that a licensee would not be liable for permitting a- lodger to gamble on the licensee’s premises. To my mind it would he a scandalous state of the law if a publican could with impunity supply unlimited liquor to a lodger, and allow him to become drunk on his licensed premises.” Defendant was fined £5 and his license was endorsed.
