Mr. iVilles add that was what he wanted to know,

Mr. Will.. then deliv-red • long addres, in support
of the sad he commence I Ws remarks by
raying he did not ask fr the liner st forth- borough of
D mhe.ter alone. hot for the conv.etience of the
whole tray. fling public. A. re torte drability, he con-
treated the old c .aohing d ye, w th the h eels and rump-
tam refreshments at every et.opp ,r, with the meagre
arrangements now made. Any on. who 'r tvelled on
the continent must have observe I the admirable
arrangements made, and travellers were very much
inclined to say their own country w • 100 years
labia I the rest of the world. In th• Midland and
the North, he was glad to say the olefret wsg being
r.mwiied. He mentioned the railways were
doing their beat to improve the refresh-
ment arrangement, for their paseengers. and it
WM very desirable then should loe • liceem at
Dorcheeter, it being • Unction. Not only were they
considering the travelling public tio aad dO.O the line
between Weymonth an I Water' , • hut there was the
large transfer heroines.. He remio:te I Oil magistrates
the application wee beard before a etrom Bench of
Lareaster Magistratea, and it WA/ granted by a large
majority.
7tl, Iloward : You menet gay that. The Chairman
mid they were not unanim ma.
Mr. Wine, contended it was granted by • majority,
notwithstandit•g there W @trim one opposition on
the part of Me. It wart. They di.i not wish to
interfere with the halve, lath, town. They did not
wish to have the refr aliment room, for drioking alone,
and they dirt root want potpie loafing abo t drinking.
They wane I to provide gm' al re.i,a.,nentg, with
t...a ant coffee, but, go. the same tint., if they expended
c spits' I n• tloe sec ,tnao taloa of the travelling public,
they peke thi• slight cove 'jo, from the local
magiatraoy—inst th-y ehouci he .1 eel to sell beer,
whoop, and spirit, upoo, t e premier.. T ay nothing
of the people who were tr toeforre.l from oat
station to the other there were no less than
72,000 out tickets Mood at the static*, and a
large section of th- travelling public ate stay objected
to going into publichouese. Referring to the objection
that there were pablichouteg clew to the station. he
mentioned that at Wiroborne. 13i•hopitoke, end Ring-
wood there were houses aloes by, and at Pwidington
there was an hotel on the premise.. They did not
know who Mr. Howard WM appearing for, but he
had shown a petition signed by person, who opposed
not only the granting of this license in particular, but
to licensee in any shape or form. He was instructed
a letter bad bees written to the local proms making
frantic appeals to the teetotalers. It was (dined
" Fair Play." but the proper name ought to have been
" Foul Play."
Mr. Howard contended if matters of this kind were
gone into they must produee the letter.
Mr. Willem, is oonaluding his :Wrote, appealed
most earnestly to the Bench, seeing the great move-
bloom that would sties to an enormous number of
travellers, that the license Mould be oonfirmed. He
dii o t wish to wade the &Melon of the borough
magistrates, bat he need it as an argument in support
of his application.
The evidesoe given at the annual licensing meeting
was then gone through i.e atom, but nothing of an
importance was elicited beyond that already pa
Mr. Howard than at some length opposed the
limns* being granted, and flree on legal grounds.
Under 37 and 38 Vic., sap 49, it was required that the
applicant should have a legal interest in the premises,
and he contended %Ir. Olamsool had not the slightest
interest whatever, a. required by the Ace.
Mr. Willis said Afr. Olasepool had both a pecuniary
and a legal interest in the premises. Hot was the
future manager of the proposed premises, and he would
be ranswershle for their mum. meet.
(Au amusing incident reoctorrd at this stage of the
proceedings. Both legal gentlemen wen armed with
opinions from eminent o amid, and it transpired both
had emauated from the an. source.)
The Bench oveg.ruled Mr. Howard's legal objectiou
as to interest, and then adjourned.
At the resumption of the sittiog Mr. Howard pro-
ceeded with his address, and &dressed strong argu-
ments &raised the limited. He would not address
the Bench upon the merit. of the applimalon, became
there well no merits. He urged the Beech not to
he placing a tempta'ion in the way of the men
employed at the station, and enoourate people to hang
%hoot the refreebment-r ions drinking. when they
might be spending their money In the town. He
quoted the remorke of the Rev. H. Everett at a
recent ote'tino against placing a temptation under
the no es of the men whom work lay on the railway.
After other remark. he called Walter Pouncy as •
witness
