28. If in the course of any proceedings which may be taken against any person licensed to sell any intoxicating liquor to be consumed on the premises for infringing the provisions of the principal Act relating to the closing of premises, such person (in this section referred to as the defendant) fails to prove that the person to whom the intoxicating liquor was sold (in this section referred to as the purchaser) is a bonâ fide traveller, but the justices are satisfied that the defendant truly believed that the purchaser was a bonâ fide traveller, and further that the defendant took all reasonable precautions to ascertain whether or not the purchaser was such a traveller, the justices shall dismiss the case as against the defendant, and if they think that the purchaser falsely represented himself to be a bonâ fide traveller, it shall be lawful for the justices to direct proceedings to be instituted against such purchaser under the next preceding section of this Act.
