THE INCREASE or nervaseswes.
The Mayor asked the Superintendent how he could
account for the increase in the number of CHM% of
drunkenness as comnitnd with last year.
Mr. Supt. Hunt attributed it to the great number
of strangers the railway worka had brought :nto the
town.
The Mayor said be was aware a "Teat number of
strangers had been imported into tile place, and it
was only fair to the liceused victuallers to say that

was why his learned friend ni nosed this very reasonable

The first was an application for • license for a
building known as the Retreat, Upper ParketArne.
The owner, Mr. Daniel Hitching, builder of that
place, was the applicant. He was supported by Mr.
Pont.', Imuyister, instructed by Mr. It. It Dickinson,
and was opposed on behalf ..f Mr. Marston, od the
1/elphin Brewery, who also made an application on
his own behalf, for whom Mr. Camly, the bar, biter to
the C nintry Brewers' Association, appeared, instructed
by Mr. Traver.. and Mr. J. !harem Power, secretary
to the Association.
In opening the mom Mr. Foote said he applied in
behalf of N.-. Dan...l Hitching for a full license in
respect 0 certain premises km.e a as the Retreat,
situated on Constitution-hill. The locality was, no
doubt, more (*Millar to the gentlemen whom lie was

were of opinion fully licensed 'trembles were not
