THE BILLITTNO or SOLDIRs ON WINN AND Snuff
Mrsonarrrs.—On Tuesday there was considerable
feeling among the licensed victuallers in Exeter, in
consequence of the justices having hesitated to renew
the licenses ef certain spirit merchants because their
premises did not contain accommodation that would
enable them to comply with the requirements of
billeting. It wad shown, however, that whenever
moldier' were billeted on the merchants, they always
at once arranged for their accommodation; and it was
contended that the Bench had no right to 'imitate to
renew license. on the ground that had now been
raised. Eventually all the Hoene's were renewed, but
the justices Mowed themselves determined to have a
Witt compliance with the Licensing Act.
