Of "Retail Business"

Important Judgment By Magistrate

This

An Interesting point of low con- nected with the carrying on of a retail business after 8 p.m. was. dealt with by Mr. Q A. A. Macfadyen at the Kowloon Magistracy

when he dismissed morning.

Sum mons against Chun Yiu, master of the Wai Cheong. Bicycle shop of 105, Woo Sung Street, ground floor, for carrying on business after 8 o'clock at night..

:D

Decision Explained - Explaining his decision in the case, Mr. Macfadyen said:

"By Sec. 2 Ordinance No. 5 of 1040, "shop" incliides, any premises where any retall trade or business is carried on, but does not include clubs, hotels, public

eating houses, restaurants, houses, ten rooms, or for the ser premises open medicines. only of sweels, acrated waters,

chocolates, other sugar confectionery or ercam, tobacco or smokers' requisites; "retall trade or business" includse the barber or hair dresser, but does not include the sale of petrol or news- papers or

the

sale

or

or distribution of milk, or the sale of programmes or refreshments, at theatres and places of amusement.

Pays For Tima

"It will be seen by this definition that all the exceptions in the first paragraph are of the nature of medicines,. or refreshments sold refall. By analogy with the ejusdem generis rule I take it that "retail trade

or business similarly means "retail trade" or "retail business," that is something material must in each

спке be retailed

"Consequently, Just as in English Law thure. is no “fuitum usus" (ns in Roman and Roman Dutch Law) that is as when a car is used without the permission of the owner, so I cannot conceive of the retail of such a use, is In the hire of a bicycle for a certain. ilme. Here the only thing for which A customer pays is the time for which the bicycle is hired,

"Even in the second paragraph of the deposition, where one speclic kin of business is included in the Ordinance, and others aro excluded, there is an element of retail since a barber sells hair lotions etc, retail, and petrol, newspapers etc. are all the retails.

"Finally, since the legislature has taken the trouble specifically to in- 'clude one kind of business in the second paragraph which conceivably might not come under the first paragraph, and to exclude other businesses one of which, the sale of petrol (presumably by petrol station or garage) bears some relation to the hire of a bleyelo, as bolli facilitate possibly urgent, transporta- tion during the prohibited hours,. am quite sure that If, out of all the different kinds of businesses · not specifically retail businesses, - the hiring of bleycles would have been specifically included if the legislature has so intended."

WAR SITUATION DEBATE SOON:

LONDON, - Äng, 8i (Reuter)—----A debate will take place In the. House of Commons. the week after next on the general conduct of the war, al

In the course of the debate, Mr. Churchill: will' make: a statement on! the position.
