EYPE.

CURIOUS EFFECT (ALLEGED) OE ERECTING THE
CHURCH. —Those who are familiar with the pro-
needings at the licensing meetings are aware of the '
extraordinary arguments sometimes advanced in
favour of granting spirit licenses to beer-house
keepers, but it appears to us that "Herod was out-
Heroded" on Monday before the (aunty Bench at
Bridport. It would appear that the sea breezes
which visitors meet with at Eype do not have the
invigorating effect usually attributed to them, but
rather the contrary, and that they must needs "keep
their spirits up by pouring spirits down." The ad•
journed application of Vincent Gape, of this place,
for a spirit license, came on for hearing, Mr. N. M.
Leggin supporting it, and Mr. H. Templer objecting
on behalf of the Rector of Symondabury. The ap-
plication was mainly grounded on the fact that a
new church had been built there, and as many as 100
people went to Eype in a day from Bridport and the
neighbourhood, while the nearest houses where spirita
were sold were in Symondebury village. In addition
to this, it was set forth that Mr. Gape bad con-
ducted his beer-house very respectably for several
years, and a memorial was produced signed by Mr.
Elawoed and several inhabitants of Bridport, with a
letter signed by Mr. Danube, surgeon' of Bridport,
in favour of a spirit license being granted. It was
elicited from the applicant, in cross-examination, that
seven years ago he was fined for keeping his house
open after regular hours, and on a previous occasion
for selling beer on Sunday morning, and that he had
lately held open house on a Sunday evening during
Divine aervioe but it we after Op. in. —Mr. Templer
stated that the Rector and other inliabil. opposed
the application, as they thought that if granted it
would only lead to scenes of demoralization there;
that if spirits were wanted they could be obtained
at the London Inn, in West Road, which was nearer
than the places that had been mentioned, and that
it was more especially some of the inhabitants of
Bridport who wished the present application to be
granted.—Tke Rev. H, Itawlinton stated that ,he
had been curate of Symondebnry for 24 years, and
rector for two years' ;and presented a memorial
signed by himself andottrtke, and the principal in-
habitanta of the pailliff kkitiffsk the granting of the
application. He also stated that in the summer
during Divine service on Sunday evenings at Eype, '
be had seen people come out of Gape's house (which
is close to the room where service was formerly held,)
intoxicated. If the fact of the church's erection in- ,
duced the Bench to grant a spirit hoes*e he would
rather that it be pulled down.—The Bench refused
the application.

much larger attendance on this occasion than on 1

of throwing more spirit into the proceedings ; and,
onrrectly as the several selections on the Monday were
given, there lacked that spirit which on Tuesday called
forth the most enthusiastic applause. The whole pro-
oeedings mussed off most enthimiastically.
