Traveller. Under the (English) Licensing (Con-solidation) Act, 1910, s. 61 (see INTOXICATING LIQUORS), intoxicating liquors were not to be sold at certain hours except to 'bon' fide travellers,' and by s. 61 (3) a person was not to be deemed a 'bona fide traveller unless the place where he lodged during the preceding night is at least three miles distant from the place where he demands to be supplied with liquor'; but although a man was not a bon' fide traveller unless he had travelled the three miles, he did not necessarily become so by merely having travelled the three miles. The expression bon' fide, which appears to owe its origin to the Scottish Forbes-Mackenzie Act (16 & 17 Vict. c. 67), seems merely intended to point the distinction between those who travel to drink, and those who drink to travel. s. 61 of the Act of 1910 was repealed by the Licensing Act, 1921.

Caveat viator
Caveat viator (let the traveller beware), meaning that he must use reasonable care for his own safety; but a traveller or passer-by on premises on or over which he has a right to be or to pass is entitled to be protected from the negligence of those who are under some duty to passers-by or users of the premises. The degree of duty varies according to whether the victim of the accident has a contract involving care or even absolute assurance or warranty on the part of the defendant in regard to the soundness of the premises or otherwise, or whether the plaintiff was a visitor or licensee. See Indermaur v. Dames, (1866) LR 1 CP 274, Latham v. Johnson, 1913 (1) KB 398, and Norman v. Great Western Railway Company, 1915 (1) KB 584 (2) CP 311. The case of a trespasser is quite different, but even then the owner of the land or person in possession has no right to lay a trap for him or commit any other wilful injury, see Bird v. Holbrook, (1828) 4 Bing 628, with that exception, the owner of th...
