Mr Barrett (Mars. Andreves, Barrett, and Andrews,
solicitors, Weymouth) applied on behalf .4 Mr John Weyer
Atone, the new tenant of the Royal Victoria Inn, Ferry Bridge,
Portland, for • provisional Been.. to sell exciseable liquors till
the 10thsof October next. The Bench would recollect that at
U,. adjoerneal licensing meeting the lute tenant, Robert
°maiden, wilfully omitted to apply for a renewal of hut liaise.
Early in October he eave up poseteasion, and on the 6th ho was
me:ceded in the tenancy by the ',regent applicant, Mr J If.
Stone. At the petty sessions on the 9th October, Mr Stone
applied for authority to II exeiseable liquors .1n the premiere
till the next special sessions, tinder 9 and Ii Victoria, and the
Bench having fully emsldered the ca... and dee two memorials
from inhabitants of Portland, granted the appitatlow Mr
Stone now applird as the lie,/ tenant, under 9 Geo. IV , for •
*loth =nee of the license till the 10th October next.
The Chairman : I don't think we have got any Jurisdiction.
Mr Barrett : On whet ground?
The Chairman: The day is put ; it now omit," before us in

Mr It •rrint dincted attention to 9 Goo. IV., c. 61,c 14
which elin..cted that ay person duly Beelike!
The Chairman: But this applicant is tiot Perainaliy I
doubt whether the proceeding* hist lime were regular.
Mr Barrett said he had taken the opinion .4 eminent counsel
(Mr Paterson) on the point.
Mr Coombe mid the chirf question whether the Bench on
the 11th had power to extend a limn*e beyond ila natural
life.
Mr Barrett urged that the 5 end vlet. .C. 44 clearly gave
the Bench that power by endorsement bi transfer or
license to carry on a business, and the eection proceederalnel
the authority so granted shall continue to be In Force till the
then next ensuing special sessions hoiden for the division "
when the nl,ololl°o shall be heard and disposed of. On the
9th October, Godden's Hama not expiring till the 10th, In
asked them to exercise that authority, and it was done.
The Chairman: That license would be good only to the 101 k
Octolyer.
Mr Barrett mid if that were on, the Act would be no use.
He urged it was framed specially to meet mess of death, refusal
to apply, or new tenancv. Th.e.s. quoted in Pidereon'e work,
Reg. v. the Justices of Middlesex was clear as to extending a
liana. In giving Judgment on the •••• the court of Queen's

harming meeting, and the thee was adjourned on a complaint
by the polio.; but at the adlounted meeting he said something
about the hoese got being wanted under the three-mile Act.
Mr Barrett said that at that meeting Gooddeo withdrew his
application, and therefore created one of the difficulties to
meet which the Act wee drawn. He had given the notices in
the regular way fir the preeetit application.
The Chairman said it was asking for the transfer of a license
which in hia opinion was dead :aod. if granted, virtually a
new license was obtaleed without being reviewed by the
I licensing committee for the county.
After the Bench had eniferred, the Chairman said •
