PUBLIC HOUSE

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 628 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PUBLIC HOUSE , in its general English acceptation, a
house
  in respect of which a
licence
  has been obtained for the
consumption
  of intoxicating liquors. Public houses are frequently distinguished as "tied" and "free." A tied
house
  is one rented from a person or firm from whom the
tenant
  is compelled to purchase liquors or other commodities to be consumed therein. A free house has no such
covenant
 . The keepers of public houses (" publicans " or " licensed victuallers ") are subject, in the conduct of their business, to a number of restrictions laid down by various acts of
parliament
 ; while, in order to ply their
trade
 , they require a justices'
licence
  and an excise licence. (See LIQUOR
LAWS
 ; TEMPERANCE.)
By the Parliamentary Elections Act (1853) a public house must not be used for elections, meetings or committee rooms. By the Payment of Wages in Public Houses Prohibition Act (1883) it is illegal to pay wages to any workman in a public house, except such wages as are paid by the
resident
  owner or occupier. By the Sheriffs Act (1887) when a debtor is arrested he must not be taken to a public house without his free consent, nor must he be charged with any sum for liquor or food, except what he freely asks for.
