§ Colonel GRETTONasked the Home Secretary if his attention has been drawn to the prosecution of the occupier of the Irish Gate Tavern, Annetwell Street, Carlisle, for permitting intoxicating liquor to be consumed on the premises during hours when the premises should have, been closed and permitting drunkenness on the premises on the same date; if this prosecution was undertaken at the instance of the Central Control Board (Liquor Traffic); and if the magistrates upon the bench on hat occasion were Sir Benjamin Scott, Mr. Charles Do[...]e, and Mr. J. P. Buck, all members of the Carlisle Local Control Board?
§ Sir G. CAVEI understand from the Central. Control Board that the gentlemen mentioned are members of their local advisory committee, but that the prosecution referred to was not instituted either by that committee or by the Central Control Board. There was, therefore, no reason why they should not adjudicate in the case.
