presiding magistrate

Mr. Thomas Handford, of the Friendship Tavern,
Cheapside, again made application for a transfer to No.
70, Sparling-strect, Wapping, as his present house was
about to be pulled down by the corporation. It may be
recollected that at the last session the transfer was
refused, and his legal adviser elicited from the magis-
trates tile;r opinion, that they thought the applicant
ought to have a transfer, and that they would have
given one, but they had a doubt whether the wording of
the act of parliament would allow them. They also hatiA
mated that his client could take the matter before a
superior court, as an appeal, and the technical difficulty
would then, perhaps, be permanently set led with
regard to other cases of a similar description. Mr.
Handford, however, did not feel disposed to enter oa
such a task ; and he to-day conducted his own case.
He was desired to re-state the circumstances. He said
the house was going to be pulled down for the purpose
of erecting a bridewell and widening the street. lie
had been in the house as a yearly tenant, for sixteen
years, and had paid £590 for the entrance. He could
assert that he had kept the house respectable. If he
was deprived of his license he would be deprived of his
living. He had received a notice from the corporation
to quit the house between seven and eight months ago,
and he was going to leave the house next Wednesday.
Mr. Handford handed up several documents to their
worships. Mr. Wybergh said the difficulty was simply
that raised by the wording of the clause. After a brief
conference, Mr. Holme said this was an exceptional
case. ',Looking at all the circumstances, _and seeing
that the pulling down of the houses was undoubtedly for
public purposes, as shown by the certificate of the sur-
veyor, they thought it did come under the Municipal
Improvement Act, if not under the Licensing Act.
Therefore, the transfer must be allowed.

The application of Thomas Bradley. for removal, was
not granted, as the removal was not necessitated by
alterations for public improvements.
The application of James Fishwick, for a transfer, was
refused, on the ground that he had been convicted of
felony. In answer to the magistrates, be stated that he
had been a farmer at Chorley.

The application of John Hollinshead was refused, on
account of the notorious bad character of the house in
Peter's-street. Their worships thought the application
was a device to' avert the consequences of this bad
character, and the many fines, £l2 2s fid having been
inflicted since last October. They would leave this house
to be dealt with at the annual licensing sessions.
The application of - Humplilies was refused, as
she had not a proper acceptance.

The transfer from Sarah ,Connally elicited interest.
Some documents were produced signed by her husband,

'the following parties did not answer to their names,
consequently the transfers were not granted :—Margaret
Woods, Charles Farrington, and Eliza Ibbotson.
