was plenty of material upon which those words would operate as the Act deceive the public; and this probably explains the reason of the affirmative finding to which I have adverted and the absence of the finding that the appellant had acted innocently within the meaning of clause (c). In answer, then, to the question which alone is put to us-namely, whether, upon the facts stated, the decision of the magistrates convicting the appellant was in point of law correct-my answer is that, in my judgment, it was. When the scope and object of the Act are borne in mind, any other conclusion would, to a large extent, render the Act ineffective for its avowed purposes. The circumstances of the present case afford a convenient illustration of this. The appellant, under the style of the "London Supply Stores," carries on an extensive business as grocer and provision dealer, having, it appears, six shops or branch establishments, and having also a wholesale warehouse. It is obvious that, if sales with false trade descriptions could be carried out in these establishments with impunity so far as the principal is concerned, the Act would, to a large extent, be nugatory. I conceive the effect of the Act to be to make the master or principal liable criminally (as he is already by law civilly) for the acts of his agents and servants in all cases within the sections with INNKEEPER-LIABILITY-PROPERTY OF GUEST-TEMPORARY Refreshmentwhich we are dealing, where the conduct constituting the offence was pursued by such servants and agents within the scope or in the course of their employment, subject to this-that the master or principal may be relieved from criminal responsibility where he can prove that he had acted in good faith and had done all that it was reasonably possible to do to prevent the commission by his agents and servants of offences against the Act. The result, therefore, is that the conviction will be affirmed, and with costs.- COUNSEL, Asquith, Q.C., and Bonsey; Jelf, Q.C., and David. SOLICITORS, Neve & Beck; Weekes & Co. [Reported by T. R. C. DILL, Barrister-at-Law.j REG. v. JUSTICES OF STAFFORDSHIRE. Ex parte FIELD. Div. Rule nisi for a certiorari to bring up, for the purpose of having it quashed, an order made by the Quarter Sessions of Staffordshire in an appeal, by Thomas Longhurst, from the licensing justices of the borough of West Bromwich, whereby the appeal was allowed and the licensing justices were ordered to pay the costs of the appeal. On the hearing of the appeal the licensing justices were represented by counsel, who stated that he did not appear for them as litigant parties, but to inform the court as to the facts and what had taken place before the licensing justices. The notice of appeal having been admitted, counsel for the licensing justices opened the case fully and called witnesses. Upon their evidence three technical objections were raised and argued by counsel for the appellant and for the justices. The witnesses called for the appellant were not crossexamined by counsel for the justices, nor did he address the court in repty. The quarter sessions allowed the appeal, and, being of opinion that the justices had made themselves "parties' on the hearing of the appeal, they ordered that they should pay the appellant's costs. The appeal to quarter sessions was brought under section 27 of the Alehouse Act, 1828 (9 Geo. 4, c. 61), which gives an appeal to quarter sessions to any person aggrieved by any act of any justice done in or concerning the execution of the Act, and provides (inter alia) that the court of quarter sessions "shall hear and determine the matter of such appeal, and shall make such order therein, with or without costs, as to the said court shall seem meet." Section 29 contains provisions for the payment by an unsuccessful appellant to quarter sessions of the costs of any justice who is respondent in the appeal. Upon the argument of the rule, Reg. v. Justices of London (1895, 1 Q. B. 616), and Boulter v. Justices of Kent (1897, A. C. 536), were cited. RESTAURANT IN A HOTEL. In this case the defendant, who was the proprietor of a hotel at Liverpool, appealed from a decision of the county court judge of Liverpool in an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages for the loss of an overcoat. The plaintiff carried on business in Liverpool, but his residence was outside the town, and he was in the habit of travelling daily by train from his home to Liverpool. On the day in question the plaintiff when going home on his way from his office to the station went into the defendant's hotel for the purpose of dining. The dining-room in the defendant's hotel was used as a restaurant by a considerable number of persons other than those actually staying in the hotel. The plaintiff went into the dining-room, hung his coat upon a peg in the room, and was then served with dinner. At the conclusion of his meal, he found that the coat had disappeared. The county court judge held that the relationship of landlord and guest existed between the defendant and the plaintiff although the latter had only used the hotel for the purpose of temporary refreshment, and he gave judgment for the plaintiff. In support of the appeal it was contended that there was no evidence to support the finding of the county court judge; that to constitute the relationship of landlord and guest there must be more than a temporary user of a restaurant in the hotel for the purpose of refreshment, and [the_guest must come to the hotel as a traveller and wayfarer, within which category the plaintiff did not fall. THE COURT (WILLS and KENNEDY, JJ.) dismissed the appeal. WILLS, J., said that the only question was whether the plaintiff was a guest at the defendant's hotel, and his lordship failed to understand in what sense it could be said that the plaintiff was not a guest. Even if the word "guest was to be given the narrow definition contended for by the defendant-namely, a traveller and wayfarer, there was evidence that the plaintiff came within that definition. If he had been riding in the country and had stopped at an inn for refreshment, he would clearly have been a wayfarer. Why, then, was he not so under the circumstances of this case? He was walking from his office to the station, en route for home, and on his way he called at the inn and was served with the refreshment which he required. His lordship, while inclining to the opinion that the plaintiff was both a wayfarer and a guest, was however not disposed to take such a narrow view of the meaning of the word guest. He thought that a guest was one who used an inn, either temporarily or otherwise, for the purpose of receiving such accommodation or refreshment as the innkeeper offered to those coming to the house. It made no difference that the person did not stop the night. From the point of view of authority, there was not much to be said in favour of the suggested limited meaning of "guest." In old times no doubt guests were more usually wayfarers than not. But the liability of an innkeeper arose whenever he received a person causa hospitandi. Why was it to be said that a person was not so received who came to an inn at any time of the day and was given refreshment. The present case was much less strong than Bennett v. Mellor (5 T. R. 273). There, a man who went to an inn for a purpose wholly unconnected with the use of the inn as such, and who, while waiting for an answer with reference to the business on which he went to the inn, sat down in the public room and took some refreshment, was held to be a guest and to be entitled to the privileges of a guest. That was a stronger case than this, for the use made by the present plaintiff of the defendant's inn was much more like the natural use of an inn by a guest than was the case in Bennett v. Mellor. His lordship refrained from saying what his decision would have been if the restaurant where the plaintiff had dined had not formed part of the hotel. The room in this case was used as part of an inn, and in the same way as an inn was used, and there was abundant evidence that refreshment was supplied by the defendant as innkeeper to the plaintiff as guest. KENNEDY, J., concurred. Appeal dismissed.-COUNSEL, Montague Lush ; Horridge. SOLICITORS, Richard White, for Neale, Liverpool; Tibbits & Co. [Reported by F. O. ROBINSON, Barrister-at-Law.] THE COURT (WILLS and CHANNELL, JJ.), made the rule absolute. WILLS, J., said that the case turned upon section 27 of the Alehouse Act, 1828, illustrated to some extent by section 29. It was established by the decision of tue House of Lords in Boulter v. The Justices of Kent, that when the question whether a licence shall be renewed comes in the first instance before the licensing justices objectors may be effectually heard without the risk of being mulcted in costs. The contention of the respondent came to this-that when there is an appeal by a person the renewal of whose licerce is refused then, unless the licensing justices come forward and effectually fight the question whether the refusal was right or not, at the risk of being made to pay costs, the appellant is to have it all his own way, so far as concerned the examination of witnesses, argument, and so on. Such a conclusion would be to utterly wrong in itself that the court ought to look very closely to see whether the statute must necessarily be so construed. The interest of the public was just as great on the hearing of the appeal as it was on the hearing of the original objections, and yet if the respondent's argument were to prevail the public interests could not be protected on the appeal, because persons who might be willing enough to object in the first instance would not come forward at quarter sessions at the risk of being made to pay costs. ticular the licensing justices would not come forward to fight such cases WHITE v. THE ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE OF BRADFORD-ON-AVON. at the risk of having to pay costs. Lord Herschell in Boulter's case Div. Court. 17th and 24th May. enumerated the considerations which led him to the conclusion that in Aud in par proceedings before licensing justices there is no litigation and no farties, POOR RATE-BASIS OF RATEABLE VALUE-TIED" PUBLIC-HOUSE AND and that there is, therefore, no person whom the licensing justices can order to pay costs. All these considerations seemed to apply equally to proceedings before quarter sessions on appeal. It followed that quarter sessions had no power to award costs against the justices or any other person objecting to the renewal of the licence. It was said that this could not be so because the quarter sessions were given power to make such order, "with or without costs, as to them seemed meet." But there BREWERY-MARKET VALUE- BREWERS AS COMPETITORS HYPOTHETICAL Special case stated by quarter sessions of the county of Wilts on appeal against a rate on a public-house. The question for the decision of the court was whether the fact that brewers were willing to give a price or rent higher than the ordinary yearly tenant would give for licensed premises was to be taken into consideration in estimating the rateable value of the property to the occupier. The quarter sessions had held that in arriving at the value for rating purposes of the premises it was the hereditament independently of, and without reference to, any personal contract with brewers that had to be assessed-in fact, the free house, not excluding brewers as competitors, but treating them like other tenants, as tenants of an hereditament unfettered by any personal contract. The facts were as follow: The appellant at quarter sessions, George White, was rated as occupier of a fully-licensed house, known as the Rising Sun Inn, Bradford-on-Avon. Prior to March, 1897, the premises were rated at £18 15s. gross, and rateable value at £15. In January of that year Messrs. Wilkins Bros. purchased them at public auction for £2,810, and let the premises to White as a tied house on an annual tenancy of £27 10s. In March, 1897, a new valuation list was made, the gross and rateable values appearing therein as £85 and £70 respectively. White appealed to the assessment committee and these figures were reduced to £70 and £58. From that assessment White appealed to quarter sessions. At the hearing it was proved that, owing to the competition between rival brewers to buy or rent licensed houses to sub-let as "tied" houses, the premises would realize in the market a sum sufficiently high to support the assessment appealed against, but that if the house was let on a yearly tenancy as a free house brewers would probably give a rent higher by £10 or £15 a year than the rent of £27 103. paid by White as an ordinary tenant, and would recoup themselves by the profits on the sale of their beers, but that such an increased rent would not be sufficiently high to support the assessment appealed against. The quarter sessions on this evidence reduced the assessment to £35 gross estimated rental and £28 net rateable value. The assessment committee appealed. In support of the appeal it was contended that the net annual value of such licensed premises within the meaning of the Parochial Assessment Act, 1836, was the full value to the owner and not their value to the tenant in fact occupying the house, and that the premises should be assessed at the value at which they would let to a hypothetical yearly tenant, all possible competitors who would be willing to take them from the owner being taken into account as possible hypothetical tenants, and that therefore the competition of brewers ought to be taken into consideration, although they did not in fact occupy the premises, and that the area of competition should not be restricted to such intending tenants as would themselves be willing to take the house for the purpose of carrying on a retail trade there: Reg. v. Wells (1867, L. R. 2 Q B. 542). For the respondent, the occupier, it was argued that the true test of the net annual value of such licensed premises was the rent that an ordinary tenant intending to occupy from year to year the premises as a "free" house for his own retail business would be willing to give for them; not what the brewers might give for the purpose of converting the premises into a tied house. Dodds v. The Assessment Committee of South Shields (1895, 2 Q. B. 133), and reference thereto by Wright, J., in London County Council v. City of London Breweries (1898, 1Q. B 393), and Sunderland Overseers v. Sunderland Poor Law Union (34 L. J. M. C. 121) were referred to. THE COURT upheld the decision of the quarter sessions. RIDLEY, J., said an ordinary tenant intending to occupy the premises as a free house from year to year was in the same position as the hypothetical tenant of the statute; he was willing to give the rent for the premises, not for the business he carried on upon them. That was the difference between the two contentions, and in his opinion, the quarter sessions were right in holding that the premises only had to be assessed, and that although the competition of the brewers was not to be excluded in estimating the rent, publicans must be treated like other tenants from year to year of a house or other property unfettered by personal contract. He considered that the assessment made by quarter sessions on that basis was correct, and the order appealed from would therefore be affirmed, and the appeal dismissed with costs.
