Musica! Tess Taxed. Whether the entertainmente tax was chargeable in respect of concerte and tess given at the Trocadero Restaurant was the question raised at Bow-Street recently. The magistrate bad before him two summonsOS against Memrin. Lyons and Co. for contravening the provisions of the Finance (Now Daties) Act, 1926. Mr. Hawkins, who appear- ed on behalf of the Customs and Excise sathorities, said the con-; certs took place after the teas, and those who had the meal were entitled to hear the concert. He argued that payment was for the whole, and that neither the din- `ner nor the tea could be separat- ed from the entertainments. The magistrate decided that payment for dinner or tes, which entitled a person to stay to a concert, was payment for admission to an en- tertainment; and he must, there- fore, convict. Fines of £10 on each summons, with £7 78, coets, were imposed.
