To Drink or Not to Drink Trial at Metropol Hotel
A court heard charges against William Shaw licensee Mrs Hooper and others for allowing drunkenness and serving liquor during illegal hours at the Metropol Hotel and Rankin Street premises. Witnesses described a night with a bar visit after a cattle deal, with disputes over drinks and payments, and testimony of Shaw’s occupation and Habits. The case included testimonies from Pascoe and Dente about the hotel room, parlor, and bar and the wife’s absence during the incident. The magistrate ordered consideration after reviewing the statements and the hotel’s liquor records.
