Mr. Vickery out of kindlees, to the young man had not

,thnining the very chance of his getting this license. But

I the Bench would contemplate, sidering imperially that
there IS anotierr house within a few yard'. Mr. Davis
I could not be m 'vented from having a bar if the license
were granted; if he did not, the Marine would be different
from all other hot*li in the town.

Mr. Weidord, a member of the Watch Committee, had
brought forward this charge.—Mr. Symonds referred to
what Mr. Davis had before said, quoting from the
Teleran, and said it had been very correctly reported_
In answer to Dr. Drew, Mr. Vickery said the town had
paid for a book prodnest He had heard respecting
the Golden Lion.
Mr. Weston objected that hearsay evidence wu no
evidence.
Mr. Vickery. in answer to Mr. Symonda, said twelve

in a room upstairs. and some people call out. He spoke
to Mr. Dcvi., wbo said be would alter it Had also told
him he hoard card•playing was carried on in the cote.

Mr. Davis asked if the police visited the house by his

Davis said he would try to carry the hotel on like De had
at Gloucester. As to the Donis, Mr. Davis said the people
came from the Cotter Hotel at eleven o'clock. The sing

be altered. This was *boat four Months ago
This um the end of the case, at which the Chairman
