Magistrate Probes Liquor Sales to Minors at Gateway Hotel
The Government Liquor Control Commission faced critique from the Court over selling liquor to underage patrons at The Gateway Hotel run by Mardel Enterprises. Magistrate Neil Macphee heard two Liquor Control Act charges involving James Highway and Norman Bernard Manger, both under 21, with defense citing a 1964 amendment allowing acquittal if owners could not reasonably know a person was under 21. Highway and Manger testified to their ages and purchase history, noting lack of age checks at the premises and other venues, while officials debated required proof of age. The case continues with further remarks on enforcement and responsibility.
