While the Liquor Act Amendment Act was lately before the House, Mr. Leake tried to get the members to pass a clause imposing a penalty not exceeding £50 on any licensed person permitting any woman or girl to sell or serve liquor on his licensed premises. Parliament, however, did not see fit to abolish the fascinating female dispenser of the Cur-r-r-sed Dr-r-r-ink. She is still to be allowed to administer the "coffin-dodger" or "corpse-reviver" at will.
