§ MR. C. T. D. ACLAND (Cornwall, Launceston)asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether the Truck Amendment Act of last Session renders it illegal for farmers and other employers of servants in husbandry to make a custom of giving regularly to such servants in husbandry intoxicating liquors as a remuneration for services, in such a manner that such servants might be led to expect, without any express contract, that such liquor would be supplied to them gratis all through hay or corn harvest, or at any other season of the year?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER) (Isle of Wight)It is in every case a question of fact whether giving intoxicating liquor is expressly or by implication a part of the contract of service. No other general answer can be given to the hon. Member's Question.
