Harton that we adjourn to the call of the Reeve, T. B. Carling, Clerk Several Cases Dismissed Agt immense crowd of people as- sembled in the Town Hall on Tues- day Lass to hear the evidence in the case of Thos. Magladery vs, . Thomas Newel' of the Commercial Hotel, who was cbarged with the sale of liquor to minors, Seven charges in all were before Their Worships, Magistrates W D. Sanders Joseph Hawkins and John Moir, Four of thein came up for trial and three werenot touched upon, these thee being left over un - tel Tuesday ,of next week to which. date date the court adjourned. Of the four charges that came up one was withdrawn, it being altogether a•mis- take, and the other three were dis- missed For the sake of the boys we do not propose to go Into these cases in detail, although all the evidence is at our hand, Suffice it to say that min - oars by ,some means or other leave been obtaining liquor; there was no evidence to prove that it had been obtained at Mr. Newell's Hotel; there was evidence to show that liquor had been brought to Exeter in a bot- tle on the might in question, Christmas eve; the evidence showed conclusive- ly that Mr. Newell is endeavoring: to run his hotel according to law; and that he had warned his employes to be -very careful to whom they sold liquor. rhe cases tried should be product- ive of much good. It will be a.warn- ing to the boys not to try toobtain liquor. It will show the hotelmen how very careful they must be dui the sale ofliquor. And ` itwill serve to rid ad the Commercial Hotel of a dark - brown suspicion, that apparently has been in many peoples' minds, that the proprietor has not been conducting the hotel as well as any man could. On tine whole the result should be very beneficial in 'many ways. In. giving judgment Their Worships said that it was regrettable in the ex- treme that the boys had obtained li- quor, but that the case would do the boys and the town good ;arid the evi- dence vidence fell short of :proving the char- ges, consequently they had nothing to do but dismiss the cases.
