Mr. Cornelius stated that the etAndard Was an inn
situated about 300 yards from the railway Station. The
house in question hail recently been partly rebuilt, add
was well adapted for the trade intended to be carried on
there, consisting of 12 or 14 rooms. The nearest house
was the Victoria Hotel, now in course of erection, and
this he contended would be quite inadequate, when
it was taken into consideration that the railway would
be opened in the c iota of a few days, and that • very
large number of persons *mild come into the place by
that mans. lie a11u464 to the peat number of
ineursioniste who came to Weyounith, the majority
of whom went to Portland, and said it wee very
probable that when the railway was opened
persons would proceed to Portland instead of remaining
at Weymouth. He put in a memorial, signed by a
large number of persons, in favour of the house being
licensed—Mr. Symonds contended that the island did
not require ay more pubic house extenxion. Even
supposing a case had been established, a ;lemon ought
to come with cleaner hands than the applicant amid

their decision until the whole of the Portland cases had

where the steamers amid their rs and was

Timed ad 'rifted-to the great number di aectirsionisits
who visited Portland, acid said thet he thould be able to
show that a licensed home las nernsari in this ideality,
not upon the grounds that the population in the neW-
beurbood had increastehbut because of the great index of
vaitors.—Mr. Como-la was called, and said that when

RAILWAY TAValcil, Poiritcnn.-31r. Tiag applied
for a license for this house, kept by Charles ob. His
ground of application was again the influx of visitors
which the railway would bring into Portland, and as
his client's home was near tbe sienna it was necessary,
he thought, that it should be licensed. If a license was
granted for soy house under the hill, he hoped it would
be this one.—Mr. Bush Mated to the Bench the booth-

the difference in tlse circumstances of the awe this year
from those of past ones was on account of the increased
number of persons who visited his house. The George

contended that there were., new features in this &pelt,

Portland by visitors, and on that subject he should like
