TIII MUT FOR THE FIRK LICINCRS.
Mr. Pelly llooper appeared to sopoott an applicst'on
made by Masers. Janaes Aldridge Devenish and Co. for
a p orisional order for a licence for premiers, proposed to
be exerted in Derby-street. in the Park. It was • corner
place. baying Irontagee t Hardwick -street and Queen
-
street (otherwise called King-street West)—oo the aouth.
It was at an angle, and he felt confidence i/1 applying for
it, because the objec ions raised to • new IiCRoCe could
slot apply taro; this was not a new use; but a licence
to be ',moved horn premiaes very old and unsuitable. The
Sept. of Police would tell them it is very desirable that
these licences be removed t suitable premises, and he
• ouli produce plans of the proposed erection. wirch will
be an ornament to the place. This would not be a drink•
mg shop. but • house stotsble for the accommodation of
visitors, and being situated clam to the Fesplariale. will
be of vi-ry great use. The brewers of this town for whom
ke hat the honour to appear. are /widow to improve toeir
houses and carry on their ir ids in the way they should.
It showed, ho thought. • fresh eeruest on the part of their
de•ire to do so, that they are grilling to expend large sums
of non ,y on improved buildings. It had been said that
Troy, d publichousee are not wanted, but If licences are
boll by small hotpes, they may not be conducted as the
ll inch and their o•nera wish but if the licences are
r :morsel te baiter Ileums, it will improve the whole
status of toe people connected with them, and be was sure
the &nob would agree with him that • good house is better
. .

Mr. Symonds meld tLe newipapers cot tla three notices
for the t-anufer of three houses.
Mr. Pally H00p.,: I am going on the Darby.
Mr. 8) monde : He is going on for three bone's, in the
hope of hit,int one or other.
Kr. PAly H omer : Let me go on with this one.
He Veen celled his wttnes-es, as follow :
Henry John Moro proved the 1101ViCal Of the notices on
the and the varloue other parties concerned,
to, Italia; Mrs. Newmac, the owner and occupier of the

li.vr in.
By lir. Symonds: I served the not cos on the last
occasion. The lot referring to which I served the notice Is

not in liC;ngatreet proper.
W. J. Ridge proved posting the notices on the church I
doors. Had a dial idea where lot 214 le *Boat sd ;he could
go and find it, but csuld not tell what Arcata he should

near the Bardon. S could not attempt to And the lot on
going from the Riphalide t ; the station.
Sidney Wls; tt tin produc id the consent of the owner and
occup er to the transfer from the New Inn.

lic fir the Derby Inn.
Mr Storm& Dr you abandon the applications as to
the o'h-re—the Wa'p ;le Tao and the Chelmsford Inn I
A. : I ens applying for the Derby Inn ; I do not say I
abandon them.
Bing Naha premed, Mr. Whettam said he did not
abtnd n them.
. . .

--lry-M7...13-u7sion: The plot was not near four or flee other
puelichou.oe
By Mr. Hooper : The premises for which the license is
sought ere eurreundel by houses.
By Mr. Symonds: Did not believe either street is
entirely built on ; in DA:toy-street are 30 booms, Chelms-
ford-street has four houses, and three others.
Mr. Symonds said it had generaliy been the eastern for
applicetts to satisfy the magistrates that the harem is
wanted, hut now ID. Hooper load thrown his notices at
the head of the masietrates. Generally the wants of the
public are to be consiilted, and it is sought t 3 be preyed
thst th 3 public require the accommodetion. It wen not
general to Bay-" Briar the publichouse, and that will
bring the neightmurbool ;" but when tier neiahhonrhood
I. male, then it is usital to delve the publichouse le
!ewers He couid not h-lp conaratulat ng the anolteer ta
on their ingenuity; it was often said-" You must build a
church, and then the population will come,' now the
brewers soy-" Yoe must build • putlicheuse, and then
the The law requires that the
roagirt t I ait i
in gTann italtifnogiloawl;cenee should hays c maiden-
t as to the wants of ti e people, end the necessity of
the house, and they sr; Felice as to whether more brutes
are wonted. His friend Mr Hooper lied left the thing as
nab- illy as he persilily cold : they ba I about 30 bowies
in Garhy.streer, and tot for riff le the Ranelagb Tavem,
and several others within a hundred yards of lot 241,
where they propose I to built the public nose; see really
and truly what was their excuse? They eaid-"We have
got a very tad house "-with that he quite aereed-"and
we want to transfer the license elsewhi re." But there is
a gr.at deist of difference between getting rid of • noLanee
from alongside your own door and putting it alonglide
someone ekes door. If the magistrates had any doubt on
the subject, he sh-uld be erepared to prove that the
inhabitants of th Park do iv t want tbe "accommodation"
which is to be thrust upon them by certain benevolimt
brewere, who say-" You do not know how badly you are
off, therefore we will brine the publiceolses te your doors."
Let them improve the pubrchouse at home, there are
ways and meths of enforcing that being kept in order, bat
there Is no reason why the license shall be t tken away,
and conveyed to another part of the t own. As • rule, they
generally had memorials in favour of the publicbouee—
Mr. Hooper: Which you say are of no usio.
Mr. Symonds: Generally the mernorfies came from
ye ;toe *he live at • distance, ant who say bow very deoli.
able it would he for there to be a peblic-houfe in that
port where thy do not live-Oatughter)-but if the people
of 'lie nelti:Ornerhood itself memorialised there might be
reason in it. New be unders'ood an expression of opinion
hail le en made by the inhabitants of the Park, and the
reset, of that exreefsion had been coeveyed to b's friend
Mr. Hooper. The peorle of the Park are perfectly satin.
ii, / to h eo.e no more publicbluses •. they do not wont any
more, and be might assume that if they do not want any
more, they are not greatly inconvenienced for the want of
that which it is proposed to give them. Within a short
distance of the place where it is peon sed to pier' this
public-bouee are the Queen. the Fountain, the Sun, the
Moon, the Somerset, le sides otbera and on the other side
the Bunion Tap and the Waterloo Stores, the Star and
G irter, and he knew not how many more. He submitted
his friend had not shown any reason for the transfer of the
Ikence, though for tinting the other houses there may be.
There was no expression of opinion in it, favour by those
affected by the grant, on the contrary, it was the other way.
Canon St .phension, R.D., elea, and said: I am
the vicar of Se John's, and the Park Estate in within my
vicarage. I have ascertained the opinion of the People of
the Park with reference to their wish or otherwiie for
new peblicheuses. I have very carefully done so. There
are something over 300 heads of houses in the Park, and
I con ff.° the number, thet merle returns expressing
their epee el on the subject. I sent our • centre., loaner,
a copy of which I have here, if the magiftrat is would like
to see it
The Celan then distribut .d copies to the Bench and the
Bar.
The Mayor said it bore this qnestion-" Do rim wish
for all applications for new publichomwe in the Perk to he
pivinei at preeent r There were three columns for
"Ye'," "No," and 'Neutral."
Canon St mbenson sail that for "Yes," which Means a
whit' to oppo es any new publichoume, voted ; for
"No," in favour of new ruble-house', 3; neutr 1, iti.
Twentyaix persons hat declined to woke snv rrtiorn.
That made a total of 274, out of about 300 bourebohlers
of the Park.
Mr. Pelly 'Doper: May I saki( you Rationally obtained
all the vienstures /-A. : I did not.
Mr. Pally Hooper: Roe you obtain them/
Canoe Stephenson: By my district visitors.
Q. Did the district visitors know that the heads of
bowiee ally were *turmoil I-A. : The papers ware most
careiully *elected ty these ladles, wbo ass persons of
character, and who would be most careful not to make
f reborn,.
Q.: They were signed only by the husbands, not by
wives I -A. : They were. I have had the wives offering to
sign them, and have refused them, because I was very
anxious to have the most correct returns.
Kr. Hooper: That D all.
In answer to the Mayor, Canon Stephenson said :-In
many cases where the husbands have been away I have
refusal the eignatures of the wine, and daughters. because
1 was exceedusgly anxious to get the returns most accur-
ate.
The Mayor: And the returns were obtained by your
district visitors, who are ladies of character and position
-A.: Yee.
Mr. Pally II .oper thought the evidence now tendered
Was very foreign and strange to this cruet, or any other
court in England. Ac the law at present stands, we are
not Moiled with level Option, and until we are, he thought
the Bench were havine imported to them (rr it was tried
to import to them) what hen not yet become law. Legal
Option may he very geed Indeed; but until we have It he
wished to get the decision of the Bench without. Here
Local Optioe had been adoptei withont the law. When
the magistrates in their discretion at the Liconsing Meet-
ing granted the license teahouse in the Park, they gave a
very strong expression of their opinion that they would
favourably consider any propvirien t • i xehanee license.
His clients had adopted the wishes of Us, Bench, had
come forward with propositions to exchange, and he
treated the, would throw aside r this foreign
expression of opinion, and greet the exchange now applied
for.
Mr. Burnett said he had had a lone conversation with
Mr. John Groves, • cwireependenne had taken place
between him and the Rev. CMOS Stephr neon, arid roe.
mitering the great opposition there is to granting any new
licensee, and also what the C enmities were good enough
to greet bins at the last meeting, he wished to withdraw
the other applications.
Mr. Symonds replied he had nothing to flack Mr.
Bernell for, becalms he submitted it was not competent
for Mr. Barnett to renew his application at the adjourned
meeting.
Me. Pally Hooper asked whether the Bench would
decide on this applicatioe, but they resolved to hear the
whole first.
Mr. limper sale he had two more applicestiona, but the
evidence* be should prodece in the other two case. ems
precisely the earns as in this came Mews. Devenisk, in
applying for these three lice:m.B only wish to get one, as
Mr. Sientrode very properly said, they did not want to
get three licences, they wiehed to give the magistrates the
option of mying if they would grant either, and which
application.
Mr. lleneer next applied for the Walpole Inn 'thin was
the application In which there was an informality at the
Generel Lmensing Meeting, and therefore it could not be
preeeeded with then.
Mr. Moro, Mr. Ridge, and Mr. Whettere, proved the
noeces for the other applications.
Mr. Pope oppreed the &pollee t lon for Chelmsford.street.
The Mayor asked if Mr. Hooper had any evidence as to
the desirability of this particular seek
I.D. II -finer *aid he would leaoe the else them
'geeing examined the plum Mr. Symonds urged that 00
house was qualified far having a license unless I t contained,
excessive of the rooms occupied by the Inmates of the
house, two rooms. Here are a bar and • bar putout;
and all the inmates must live in the kitchen.
Mr. Hooper: There are the upstairs mon"-
Mr. Symonds said five bedromes upstairs, but he
argued there were no rooms for the lodgers, and the Imam
was not structurally adapted.
Mr. Hooper contended it cempled with the Act.
Mr. Pope whited to examine the witnesses with regard
to Cbelmsford-stmet end Mr. Whettem was put up and
asked 1-y Mr. Pope itow many boners there are between
Chelms'ord Inn and the Rands& Hotel,
Mr. Whethens thought l.
Mr. Pug*, Mr. Groves ePelied here for a provisional
license for • building canal Brownlow Tavern • hew
nanny houses are between the intended Chemsfoid Inn
and the Brnwolow Taverns
Mr. Whetham thought nine; but he should think ten
could b. put there,
Mr. Pope: There are seven lots of 20ft. frontages, an
there will be only eight. Therefore there will be 13 houses
between this and the nearest path:thanes one way, and
eight on the other.
