§ MR. COBBI beg to ask the Attorney General whether, in order to remove some misapprehension which seems to exist as to a recent case at Wolverhampton, he can state what is the existing law as to licensed victuallers supplying alcoholic liquors after the legal hours in cases of illness; and whether it is legal to supply them in such cases upon a Magistrate's order or upon a medical certificate?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir R. WEBSTER, Isle of Wight)In reply to the question of the hon. Member, I have no knowledge whatever of the fact "of the case to which he refers, nor can I state the existing law with regard to licensed victuallers otherwise than by referring the hon. Member to the provisions of the Statutes of 1872 and 1874. If the hon. Member will communicate with me as to the circumstances of any particular case I shall be happy to give him any assistance in my power.
