. COMPLAINT AGAINST THE REcron or Qursrot.—Mr•
W. B. Hayes appeared to make what he said was Is
strange application. He said he was instructed by Jo"
Darby and John Rose, both of the Quinton, and holder',
of strong beer licenses, to apply at the forthcoming
special licensing sessions for an out-door license to sells
beer and cider by retail. The Act of Parliament re-
quirad that notices of the appiications should be posted
upon the door of the church of the parish where the
applicants' houses were situated. The papers were
posted at Quinton Church and remained there on Sun-
day, the 31st ult, but on Sunday last, when they were
again posted by a police-officer, they were immediately
torn down again by the rector, die Rev. C. 11. Oldfield.
who refused to return them to the officer. Under thes°
circumstances he had to ask the advice of the Bench on
the matter, because as it was necessary the notice'
should remain on the church doors for two Sande°
previous to the application. the license might be refused
in consequence of the action of the clergyman. He tvss
convinced that lie hal his remedy against the rector,
but he did not .wish to do anything unpleasant, and
therefore wished the Bench to advice him in the matter.
—Mr. Phillips: I should recommend you to put the
notices upon the chapel doors ; they will 1
not be tore
down there.—Mr. Hayes : But the question to my wind
is—will it be legal ?—Mr. Phillips : I think they would
be perfectly legal if posted upon the chapel doors.--
Mr, Hayes again said he had no wish to do anything
unpleasant, and ultimately, on the suggestion of .the
Beneh, he protnised to place the notices upon the
church doors again next Sunday and on the Suodel
following, and also upon the doors of the chapel at the
place.
