SELLTNG BREAD BY WEIGNIT.- A printed notice has
been issued by the Inspecter of Weights and Measures
(Mr. Supertntendent (.ifford), notifying to bakers
the penalties they incur in not selling bread by
weight.
THE STRAW PACKET COMPANY.- A call of H)s. pre
share is being made on the shareholders of this
company. The repairs of the Spicey are, we believe,
almost effected, and the money is no doubt required to
pay the cost.
FAREWELL Ti THE Res. J. Come.— A social tea
meeting was held on Thursday, in the school-room of
the Wesleyan Chapel, to give the oonrsgation an
opportunity of bidding farewell to their respected
minister, the Rev. J. Cooke, who has been reny.ved

some inkstand and a purse of ten guineas were

dent Gifford that the house had been very ill.
conducted during the last twelve months. Superinten-
dent Gifford also made a complaint of the tunneler in
which Mr. Cole, landlord of the New London Tavern,
Lagland-street, had conducted his house. He had
been convicted no less than four times within about
twelve months, and the house had been conducted
worse than any other in the town. He did not wish to
deprive Mr. Cole of his license but he felt it his duty
to lay those facts before the Bench. Mr. Cole was then
duly cautioned that if the house was not b tter
conducted thenceforth his license would not be
renewed. Mr. A. B. Trovenen, solicitor, applied on
behalf of Mr. Allen for a licenee to be pawed to the
Steam Pack. t beer.house, Quay, on the ground that a
licensed house in that immediate locality was greatly
needed, especiallyiily seafaring persons. It was proved
that the usual ir forms had been complied with,
but the bench declined to grant a licence, as they
oonsidered there were quite sufficient licensed houses
in the town already ; indeed their wish was rather to
diminish than increase them. Mr. Lankester also
informed Mr. Trevenen, who was ignorant of the fact,
that previous applications had been made for a license
in that case, and that the grounds of refusal remained
unaltered.
