OLD LICZNSES.

Mr. Supt. Vickery-Id-1;a oppose any of the old
licencee. The houses had. he said, been conducted better
during the last twelvemonth than they had been for ten
years before.—They were accordingly all renewed.

APPLICATION ZIT CR. WHITTLE.
Mr. Jamets Whittle, of the relreaduenteroorne, St.
Thineas•street, applied for • license to sell intoxicallnx
'NUM OD or off the premises, the said promisee to be
cloud during the whole of Sundays.—Mr. Howard sup-
e application, and Mr. G. Symonds opposed It.—
g.triti the
said no doubt the Bench had noticed the very
doe premises which Mr. Whittle occupied in Sr. Thome. -
street. It was one of the greatest improvementa made in
the town for many • year. Mr. Whittle had a
considerable business there, which wall not so
much to supply liquors as to supply eatables
Still it was • most inconvenient thing that people
should have to go sound the corner to get his drink. It
would be for the benefit of the public to grant the license.
During the period he had opened his dining-rooms, he had
bad from 00 to 100 people there during each day, and he
did not think they would have any hesitation in granting
the licenses. They had granted licenses to venous re-
freshment-rooms before, as in the cased Cooke's Mistime
rant, Augusta-place; Lamley'e refreahruenterooms. St.
Mary-street.. and Hodder's rooms, in St. Thomas-street.
—Mr. Whittle we. called, and said he carried en the
business of been and beef warehouse, the dining-rooms at
36, St. Thonmestreet. Since he had opened the
dining.rooms the average daily attendance had been
from ninety to. hundred, and yesterday there were Ire
persons them Most of them required drinkable& and he
was compelled to send to public-bonus for drink for them.
A great many customers objected to being asked for money
In the public rooms, and whilst they were eating he had
to send for beer for them. That was the reason he asked
for the lirease.—Mr. Symonds opposed cho application on
the ground thst one of the notices was not served accord-
ing to the time wedded by Act of Parllaxnent —Mr.
Howard said he hest nothing:to do with the service of the
notices, but be hoped Mr. Symonds would waive his objec-
tion &sultry the application upon itamerite.—Mr. Symonds
said no waiving on his put would give them jurisdiction
to grant the license. Even if he made no opposition they
had no purer to grant it unless the notices were properly
served. Mr. Whittle would, of nodosity, have to renew
the applicetion when he could. Perhaps he could do so
at the adjourned meeting, but even then, perhaps, be
should hare something to see. He would be quite in time
nest year. (Laughter.) Even than, very likely, he
should have something to say. Howard withdrew the
application.

Arrqc4nßx fIY MU. 111.7:12._

Mr. Howard, on behalf of Mn Susan Hunk of Park-
street. applied for a license L 3 sell beer out of doort.—Mr.
Superintendent Vickery said she was a most respectable
woman, and the necewary notices haying been proved, the
application was granted.

MITMOUTH Cof7ll TATUM.
Mr. Harry Randall applied for • license to keep •
bagatelle board at the Weymouth Coffee Tavern.—There
being no opposition, the application was granted.
