BURGLARY AT JORDAN FARS. —On Saturday night
some of the servants at Mr. Scott's farm house.
Jordan, between Preston and Weymouth, were aroused
late at night by a noise downstairs. Ore of them
looked out over the baluat•rs, and saw a light moving
about below. On this one servant called out to another
to "go down and see who that was." The other Per-
•ant answered "Oh I that's master," and the light
disappeared. Next morning the article. in the lower
rooms were tuned is souse confusion, • candle was
discovered to be two-thirds burnt, and in the pamage
was • "gamble," or curved stretcher no which to hang
a pig, and it was evident the hottest had been broken
into. Further examination showed that • bar in the
pantry window had b,en forced aside, and an entrance
ffecito.,l thereby. A pair of double doors were then
pushed open, and the house entered. Everything down•
stair.' seemed to have been ransacked, but the burglars
seem to have been intent first on having supper, for
they consumed • quantity of cold shoulder of mutton
and bread, and imbibed a lot of good beer by way of a
relish. The disturbauoe bail been effectual in prevent-
ing any robbery, for nothing she was missing but •
handkerchief, although plate and variou other valuables
were at hand. It is add that by standing on a table at
the top of the stairs, the cashbox would have been
acces-ible, and that this containid a larger sum than
Mr. Scutt had been in de hart' of keening in house for
a long time past. Whether the burglars had got scent
of this, and wasted to carry it off, is unknown; but it
may be mentioned that in a certain quait.r the burglary
is considered not to have been an attempt to rob, but
metely the result of a drunken spree. The gamble, it
was found, had been taken from one of the backhousea
on the prelnill.s, and it is thought this was the instru-
ment used to force in the window bar.

RAN ELLOR HOTEL.

Mr. Tizard applied for the Itanelagh Hotel, Itanelagh
terrace._ . .

Mr. Weston opposed, and objected to the notice, Mr.
Stephen Brown, jun., the applicant, being described as
having resided at two places within the last air months.
Mr. Tizard said many people lived in two houses, and
the Bench agreed with this.
Mr. Tigard sail the hotel was situate in • block of
buildings opposite the station, and had been erected at
a coat of £2,000 and in the centre of a rapidly increasing
neighbourhood. There were 10 or 12 spirit and beer
houses, near the station, yet the number of ercur•
sionista made that accommodation insufficient The
house had 22 rooms, beside stables and sioachowee.
Mr. S. Brown, jun., said the hotel oast between
£2OOO and 0000 and at was opposite the arrival platform
at the station. He had furniture in the house, and hail
slept there at least • dozen times, and he intended to
be the landlord. He had no intention of transferring
the licence when obtained. Mr. Brown admitted he had
paid no rates, nor could he tell when his tenancy

Mr. Weston submitted that although the house was

The Bench decided to give their decision in every

Mr. Tisard said that if that were se, the ease was caw

decision at once,
The Mayor said that as the Legislature offered no
restriction or impediment to the manufacture of artiales
of drink, and charged • heavy duty upon them before
they came into the retailer.' poeserion, he thought
that every person of respectable character should have
an opportunity of retailing them, but t•hould they be
