MUSIC AND DANCING LICENSES.

The magistrates for the county of Surrey assem-
bled yesterday in quarter session, at the Court House, Kings-
towupon•Thames, forthe purpose of hearing applications for
the renewal of licenses for music and dancing, and fresh ap-
plications for licenses of the mama description.
Major Peorhy u presided, and there was a full bench of
magistrates.
. . _

Nearly the whole of the old houses were renewed with-
out any alteration..
. .

Mr. illey applied for a renewal of the license of the
Rosemary Branch, Peckham, in the name of Mr. Thomas
Garnett. He said that Mr. Garnett was related to Mr.
Smith, the late propr6tor, and the establishment had
always been conducted in the most respectable matinee; but
he thought it right to inform the court that, owing to a
mistake, the notice of the transfer of the property to Mr.
Garoett had only been given to the Clerk of the Peace
fifteen days before the time fixed by the standing orders of
the court, instead of twenty-one. This was, however, really
only a technical difficulty which had arisen solely by acci-
dent, and he trusted therefore that the court would not re-
fuse to grant the license in consequence of it.
The Clerk of the Peace, who was appealed to by the
Chairman, said that full notice was given by advertise•
meats in the newspapers and otherwise, that the court re.
quired 21 days' notice to be given of the intended transfer
of the property.
The bench, upon this, said they did not think they
should be justified in departing from the usual rule ; and
they must therefore refuse the license,
Mr. Lilley subsequently premed the court to re-consider
I its decision ; and he urged that as the only object of the
notice was to afford an opportunity for inquiry into the
character of the party to whom the transfer was to
be made, fifteen days were quite sufficient ; and he
strongly urged the great injustice that would be done to the
applicant by refusing him his license without any complaint
being made against him, and solely upon a point of form.
He also observed that the refusal of the license would en-
tail very heavy loss upon Mr. Garnett, as he had made all
his engagements with the professionals who were to appear
during the ensuing year, and the refusal of the license would
be no answer to them, and he would be compelled to carry
out the engagements he had.entered into.
The Chairman, after consulting with his colleagues, said
that whatever feelings might be personally entertained by
the magistrates in such a case as this, still they did not
think they should be justified iu breaking a rule that had
been deliberately agreed to, and which had been acted upon
for a very long period. The conditions upon which these
licensee were granted were made known publicly, and per.
sons who applied for them were bound to take are that they
conformed to the regulations that were laid down, and if
they did not do so, they had no one to blame but them-
selves. Their former decision, therefore, could not be
altered, and the license mint be refused.

The-,;ourt then proceeded to beer new applications.
Mr. Knapp applied for a license for music and dancing for
the Duke of Kent, Old Kent-road. . _

The memorial of the applicant was signed by the Rev.
Mr. Smith, the incumbent of the pariah, all the parish offi-
cers, and a great number of respectable inbabihtcta, and as
no one opposed the application, the homes was unanimously
granted.
A similar application for the Windsor Castle, Cooper's-
road, 013 Kent-road, was also granted, but for music only.
Mr. W. Harris, of the Equestrian Tavern, Blackfrian-
rad, applied for a license fur music for that establishment.
Mr. Robinson supported the application, which was op-
posed by Mr. Lilley on behalf of Mr. Shepherd, the low
of the Surrey Theatre.
Mr. Lille). addressed the bench in support of the oppcei-
tion to the license, and he said that the grounds upon which
be did so were that the place for which the license was
sought to be obtained was only next door to a theatre, that a
great number of other places of public amusement were
situated within a very short distance, and that no additional
one was required by the public. He would not attempt to
deny that Mr. Harris was a highly respectable man, and
that he conducted his business in a moat respectable and
orderly manner, and no complaint whatever could be made
against him upon that more, but the question the
bench were now called upon to decide was whether,
under the circumstances, a fresh place of amuse-
ment should be licensed when there were already
amply sufficient for the requirements of the public.
He said that Mr. Harris had made a similar application in
1853 and again in 1800, and it was refused upon both occa-
sions and since then a license bad been granted to another
place' of entertainment close by, the South London Music-
hall, and this, he contended, afforded another reason why
the license should bs refused oo the present occasion.
Mr. Robinson, in support of the application said it was
all very well for the lessees of the Surrey TlLatre to pre-
tend to come forward on behalf of the public, but it was
quite clam that they were the only parties who objected to
the Roane being granted The petition of Mr. Harris was
signed by all the pariah officers, the churchyard's's, and a
large number of the principal inhabitants, many of whom
were in the habit of dining at his house, and all he wanted
was to be enabled to have a little music noon rich massaioss
after dinner. Mr. Harris had not the least intention to give
any amusement in the shape of a theatrical performance,
and if the license was granted to him he would give a pledge
to that effect, his only object in obtaining the Somas being
what he had before stated. _

The Court, after a brief deliberation, expressed an opinion
that the license was not required, and therefore refused the
application.
Mr. Needham applied for a IMeese for the New Public
Hall Literary and Scientific Institution, at Croydon, in the
name d the secretary, Mr. Francis Warden.
The application was ranted.
