license.—Mr. R. N. Howard, of Weymmith, and Mr.
Travers, if Illmidford, "plowed the application.--Mr.
Edmunds, having been sworn, said lie Wai a Illaltater
and brewer, and had lived in Langton All his life.
There were only two publechouseil in the • illage -the
84, and the King's Arms, both of which belongrol
to Mess*. Pantein and Co. A memorial was put in.
signed by the principal inhabitants of Langton. The
list was headed by the rector, the Rev. Lester Lester.
—Mr. Traveni raised an objection to the wording
the notice if application, stating that the Act of Par.
liament required the situation of the house ohotilel be
clearly stated, and submitted it was not done in this
case.—Mr. Dickinson here asked Mr. Traver,, who
instructed him to oppoise.—Mr. Howard remarked that
he optioned on behalf of hitnoelf and othenk—Mr.
Travero cnsumecamined the witneos. Ile had been
in the businem iif tnaltster and brewer for about two
years. The distance (non the Ship ti, the King's
Arms was 400 yards, and from the Kin_g'is Arms to
his place 500 yards. The King's Arms Inn was not
01,1„.in..hini. The village of Act,.,, was About half
a-mile distant. There were three publichowase in the
at one time, but the White !fart was shut up
about seven years ago.—Mr. Howard now raised an
objection to the memorial, stating he did not see any
forrn if memorial at all. It was merely a list of
names at the back of the application paper.and wished
to know how it was (considering the advance of
education) that the princiial people at Langton had to
sign their 11/11111. with a croos.—Charlo. Sem., ha ing
been sworn, said he was the rector's clnireliwanlen,
and considered that if an "if-license was granksl it
would be a great benefit.—Cnies-examined by Mr.
Howard: He had been church-warden 1.42,YT1 years.—
Mr. Tracers, addressing the Bench, submitted there was
nit sufficient evidence to import the granting of a
new license. There had been no alteratiem or very
great increase in the village, and from the evidence
of Mr. Edmunds himself there appeared to have been
iinly 20 new houses erected, and during the past seven
years the village hail been content with two public-
houses. The population WWI not a floating one • it
was a very quiet village.-- Mr. Howard **gentled
that the notices had not been properly posted up.
Under the 7th 'cc. of the Act of l'arliament, the
main. must be fixed to the house for which the
license was required. This notice was to.ted on the
malthonse d.oir. The magistrates retired to consider
their decision, and after a few minutes returned, And
mid they would grant the license., considering that it
would greatly benefit the inhabitants.
Mr. R. N. Howard made an application, on behalf
of Mrs. Kittsie, for a license for a new hotel which is
about to be constructed near the Railway-otation at
Swanage.—Mr. Trevanion, of Poole, „n
Is-half of !limo& and othene.—Mr. Crickmay, archi-
tect, of Weytnoutli, produced the plans of the
Prolosied building, and Paid the cost of construction
would be about 13,060.- -He was cnies-examined by
Mr. Trevanion, who went through the plain in ,letail.
—Mr. Paine, manager of Messrs. Pantein and C0..1.
Brewery at Swanage. produced copies of the notices
which hall been affixed to the church doors, aim also
en the land. -Mr. Trevanion otateol his objection wart
raised, net (nun any opposition brewer, nor from any
party spirit, but from the rector and several other
gentlemen resiidento of Swanage. who no doubt had
the benefit .4th.- town at heart. If the hems,. was to
I,- a family or boarding hotel there would los no
objection whatever, but a hoinie of this kind. with a
corner entrance, is only a trap to catch both ways,
and he out tee' that instead ef its being a hotel it
would be nothing in we nor less than A corner public-
'PßOW, which would net improve the locality ; further,
lie oulimitted that then, were already 11 licensed
hem.. in Swanage, and the population was only about
2,300.—The application was refused, the nusgrotrates
considering it was not the class of house which was
required.
, Mr. If. S. Itickituoin, of Poole, on behalf of Mr. J.
H. nockley, High-street, Swanage, applied for an
additional off-license to sell beer and cider.---Mr.

Ilockley, on oath, said he redder' at Swanage. And
had now a liemw to sell beer in casks or in coantities
of not In,, than three dozen bottle.. During the past
year he had fnxilie•ntly loom aisked for single bottles;
of ale. bat, of coon., could not all le.it than the.,.
doyen at is time. -Cr....twinned by Mr.
Symonds : I am aware then. are 10 fully licensed
lioniiez in SwanAgr% and altogether there are 15 house*
in Swanage at which the imblic can obtain bottle
bear and ale in small quantities--The magistrates
tomoidered that it would be much better fiw applicant
to look after his grocery business" and refused the
applicatioa.
