1101i011ENTE

llnbevi Smith v, Wilhtsm Manfiel,l, Esq., (Mayor), and
Julia Maur, Esq. Mr, Mock and Mr. hooks for the
appullant. Mr. l'ortman for the rospondonki.
The facts of the case may be briny stated ; but lathe
firct plan it may Ike ulakorikod that a discussion of a
singular kind took plow: botwoun the ootinsol engaged—.
AM to which side situulki begin, the appollanls or the re.
spunklents, Mr. Portman, for tho rospondents, contended
that the appollant being, the party aggrievod by the het
of tlko Jitstioeo, had a right to appeal against such cot,
and ought proporly to okonikkenoe the prumedinp, the
out biking in this wise the Musa' of a Home, :mkt the
oknokoptunue of that cot an applioation fur 11 license from
this Court. Mr. :IWO( rupliud that he had before him
thu nowlyirevised rules of the Court itself, which were
quito imporativo on the point. That rule stated, "
all appouls tlke :whim mooed for the rospondont shall
shortly upoik Elko arum, tool then mill his witnessm," and
so on, Hu approlionduil that the Court would not
deviato from its own ruin, but if ii y ha was quite
properoil ariplo thin path:thin, The Cikairmin re•
markoki that tikoro woe Man. little didloulty iii this
04110, MA that Mr. :Moak, being the party Aggrieved,
shotalkl. Ito thought, begin. Mr. tiliknok said that he hidl
linput the rules of the Court would be adhered to, but
ad it WOO desired that he ohoulil Argue the merits he
woniki kin so, The hawked out:nisi then went on to say,
that tills was nkkt a now applioation for a lioeuee—it wee
en applicoktion for Elio renewal of a Holum whlelt
hittin proviously granted, The party was entitled to the
liounkw unlink; ruskam was shown to the ountrary I and
the magistrates ouukl nut Justly refuse that llama en•
°opt on porta:tiler grounds whioh satisfied them It
ought not to be rotiowed, Times partlaular grounds
wore known to thorn, but by no 1110111111 to him. If the
appollants were onliuki upon to begin it would be at.
tuntiod with the greatest lituonvenience, Mr, lOtook
°untended at smile length that the respondents must put
witnussus Into the bon to chow tint grounds ,111141 whisk
the inaglatrates Mused to grant the renewal of the
Mamie. The Chairman finally said that—looking to the
statute and to their own rules, And to the nature of the
OMIIIO, And uonstiltlng his colleagues on the Mouth, the
Court kvoro of opinion that this senior eounsel for the
rospoinlent should shortly open the case,

It then appeared from the opening of Mr. Portman
that Smith's application for the renewal of the limns.
had been refueed on the Vith of August, the general
!lamming day, by the silting magistrates, the Mayor and
Mr. Arden ; that the ground. of the refusal then were,
that Hinith waa nott•rosident In the hmuie for whloli he
desired a license, that he had no interest whatever in it,
or In any property then on the premises ; further, that
last year disturbanoes had gone on in that bolts*, and
that the neighbours had complained ; a duo consideration
of all whioli oirouinstritiese on the part of justices of the
peace rendered it desirable that no further limns. should
be grated. At the adjourned meeting on the 27th of
lieptember Multi again applied for the renewal of the
limns., and on this oecamion Mr. Hnsor oat on the bench
with the Mayor. liii Worship was still of the now
opinion as 'adore with respect to the propriety of grant-
ing the Houton', noder all the oireumstanees of the CA4O ;
consequently, the limns° wan again refused.

. .
Thu INBI`NOToII of the Borough Police, being ex
-
mined, proved that theatrical performanoes were carried
on et the house, and continued until 11 or 12 o'cloak at
night ; that this practice was disapproved by the actio.
rities and put !lawn by them. The witness stated that
he bail frequently heard complaints made of disturbances
about the house, awl deposed to the particulars of lb fight
which took place on the night of the fair-day, In February
last, between the soldiers awl eivilians in front of the
" Three Mariners." Mr. klayward corroborated the Super-
intendent's evidence, and dealared that he had often been
disturbed in his sleep by the noise awl confusion which
frequently took place at the public house opposlte.

Mr. Brno( addressed the Court upon the evidence,
and contended that there was nothing disorderly, lm.
proper, or indecent in the theatrical performances ; and
as to the lighting in the street, the Mariners Inn wee
in no way tIiIOWII to be connected with that row. As to
the occupation of the house, there was no question at
all that Smith did occupy the premises at the time of ths
adjourned licensing meeting on the 27th of September.
He though ho might leave the whole case in the
hands of the Court; if not, lie was quite prepared to go
into it, and call his witnesses, one of wham, Mr.
Ensor, the colleague of the Mayor on the bench, WM
ready to give the house a good character, and to show
that the license ought to be granted. The Chairman,
having consulted with other magistrates, said that the
Court were unanimously of opinion that no sufficient
evidence had been adduced to show that the license
ought not to have been granted ; the sentenee of the
Court was that the license be renewed accordingly.
Mr. PORTMAN applied that the respondents' costs
might be paid by the borough treasurer, under the 29th
section, of 9th George IV. chap. 61.
The CHAIRMAN said that this was a very proper ap.
plioation, and the Court were quits ready to grant it.
They considered this to have been • mere error of judg-
stent—to which they themselves when sitting on the
Penoh, and all others, were liable ; and the Court were
lesirous of stating that in this case Mr. Manifold had
coins there in pursuance of his duty, and that there was
,no sort of reflection resting upon lain, and he would
' leave the Court as such.
. .

Mr. ToaK then applied for reasonable costa to be al.
lowed to the appellant.
The CHAIRMAN replied, that it was the opinion of the
Court that they ought not to grant those costs. They
hail granted the limas. They could not forget the
fads of the evidence ; and although there was not 1%01-
viral evidence, in the opinion of the Court, to justify
the refusal of the license, yet there were oerWn irre•
gularities conneeted with the house In question which
made the Court unanimously feel that they were not
justilled in granting these costa.

WAREHAM & PURBECK LABOURERS'
AND SERVANTS' FRIEND SOCIETY.
The annual dinner of this society was held at the
Roil Li ii Hotel, Wareham, on Thursday laic The
gathering on this occasion We. unusually numerous,
and the whole proceedings were of a remarkably
mournful and satisfactory character. The desire to
support the Hon. W. U. B. Portman, H. P. in the
chair, tended very much to increase the attendance,
and furnished unmistakable evidence of the well
deserved and growing popularity of the honourable
gentleman. Contrary to expectation, Henry Gerard
Sturt, Esq., M.P., was enabled to attend, lending a
generous support to the Hon. Mr. Portman. The
member for the borough of Wareham, J. H. Calomel,
FAq., occupied the vice chair, having on hie right
and left the Rev. H. Bond and Mr. Bartlett. At
the head of the room, surrounding the chairman and
Mr. Blurt, were J. C. Radelyffe,Frnq., OW, Farrar,
Req., Rev. Eldon Bank", John MAllsai, Esq.,
William Pike, Esq., J. H. Lacy, Req., Pryer,
Esq. The room was filled in every part by all the
respectable farmer* of the neighbourhood, the cool.
parry mustering altogether over 70 in number. The
dinner and wines were unexoeptionable and gars
general satisfaction. Mr. Eyere' brass liand was in
attendance, and played during the evening several
popular and admired pieces, which tended greatly
to enliven the prooewlinp. For these agreeable
musical performances the company were indebted to
the liberality of their worthy chairman. the Hon. W,
Portman. Mr. Sturt bad been kind enough to
promise the attendanoe on this interesting occasion
of a combo singer from London, at his own expenes,
and had put himself to 601011 trouble to secure this
addition to the evening's entertanment llt Mr.
tiloman, who was to attend upon the undertaking oi
.party in London with whom Mr. !Burt had pub
I n wunnunioation, was from some wow or
other, over which Mr. Start had no oontool, not
I forthcoming. However, as Mr. Caloraft said the
meeting gut on extremely will and notwithstanding
the 'Wince of tho oomia shirr, was iii capital tune

the best possible spirit.
The dinner to the labourers was wet out at the
Bleak Beer about one o'clook, and wale substantial
and 'salient repast, of which no fewer than 40 in.
dustrions and deserving eons of tell heartily partook.
At the aloes, the Hon.-11r, Portman familia stew
