35 & 36 Vict. C. 94, provides, that if any licensed person

suffers any gaming or any unlawful game to be carried on

on his premises, he shall be liable to a penalty. In this

case gaming had taken place on licensed premises to the

knowledge of a servant of the licensed person ; but there

was no evidence to show any connivance or wilful blind-

ness on the part of the licensed person, nor did it appear

that the servant was in charge of the premises. The Court

held that the justices were right in refusing to convict the

licensed person under these circumstances. In giving

judgment, Lord Coleridge, C.J., said; "Slight evidence

might be sufficient to satisfy the magistrates that the

landlord might have known what was taking place if he

had pleased ; but where no actual knowledge is shown,

there must, as it seems to me, be something to show either

that the gaming took place with the knowledge of some

person clothed with the landlord's authority, or that there

was something like connivance on his part : that he might

have known, but purposely abstained from knowing."

Bond V. Evans (1888), 21 Q. B. D. 249; here again,

contrary to the provisions of section 17 of 35 & 36 Vict,

c. 94, gaming had taken place upon licensed premises to

the knowledge of a servant of the licensed person who had

been left in charge of the licensed premises ; but without

any knowledge or connivance on the part of the licensed

person : the Court held that the licensed person was guilty

of having suffered gaming to be carried on upon his pre-

mises contrary to the provisions of the section.

Commissioners of Police v. Cartman (1896), 1 Q. B.

655 ; Section 13 of 35 & 36 Vict. C. 94, provides, that if

any licensed person permits drunkenness or any violent,

quarrelsome, or riotous conduct to take place on his pre-

mises, or sells any intoxicating liquor to any drunken

person, he shall be liable to a penalty. Here the respon-

dent, who was a licensed person, gave orders to his servants

that no drunken persons were to be served ; during his

absence, however, one of his servants sold intoxicating

liquor to a drunken person. It was held that the act

of his servant made the respondent liable to the penalty

under the statute, that act having been done by the

servant within the ordinary scope of his employment,

though contrary to his master's orders.

Metropolitan Slaughter-Houses Act, 1874 (37 & 38 Vict. c.

Q1).—Colhnan v. Mills (1897), 1 Q. B. 396 ; here a slaughter-

man, acting in direct disobedience of his master's orders,

so as to save himself trouble, had slaughtered a sheep in

a pound, in view of other sheep, contrary to a bye-law

made under the provisions of the above-named Act. The

material part of the bye-law in question was вЂ

" An occupier of a slaughter-house {a) shall not slaughter

or permit to be slaughtered any animal in any pound, pen,

or lair, or in any part of the premises other than the

slaughter-house ; (6) shall not slaughter or permit to be

slaughtered any animal within public view, or within the
