terly received a wily simerkable stimulus. The in-
crease dud.g SO Math is very decided, and the
eight inontiml retsina exhibit an increase of 587,0371.,

There can be little doubt that this movement will
continue. Copper shows a continuous decrease,
owing chiefly to the rise in pries, which has checked
the foreign demand. The export figures stand thus

court would set take as a valid objection to an applies-
dos the fact that another licensed house was within •
short distance of the house sought to be licensed. The
court would in all eases consider the size of the room in
which the musical entertainments were to be given, and
the character of the honer and with regard to public-houses
it was indispensable that the applicant should be the holder
of the license of the house, so that the court might have a
guarantee for proper usage of the music lionise. Where the
public accommodation required the licensing of a particular
house, the court would always grant a licence fbr that house
under the conditions he had mentioned.

lir. Parry said it was with very groat pleasure that he
heard the views of the court so liberally expressed by the
chairman. The liberality evinced by the bench last year, in
granting these licensee, had produced none other than the
most benelieiel results; sot • single complaint had been
made by the polies of any of the houses the magistracy en-
trusted with a licence, and he had no ,'uubt the eosin now
taken would give general satisfaction.
