7RANSFER OF LICEA'SES.

Yesterday, at the Court House, Chapel street, a special
court was held to adjudicate upon applications for removal
and transfer of licenses. Mr. S. lioltne and Mr. R. Shell
were the-presiding magistrates. *There was a. mill list,
there being only forty applications for transfers, and none
for removal. All were granted with the exception of 'the
application of Elizabeh Margaret Sutton, widow, of Atbol
street, for the transfer of her late hu3band's license, and
this was in consequence of non-attendance.
In the applioution of Mary Ashcroft, for the transfer of
the license of Mr. Charles Masker, Cockspur street, Mr.
Aspinall, barrister, appeared in opposition. Mr. Aspinall
elicited from the applicant that she got the goodwill front
Mr. Moss, brewer. He proceeded to say that heappeared
kr Mr. Thomas Bold, who was formerly the occupier
of the house, and who agreed with Mr. Musker to
sell him the goodwill for the sum of £l3O, and some-
thing for the stock on entering. Mr. Mtisker, at the
time, was unable to nay the whole amount, so he
deposited with Mr. Bold some blank transfer papers for
the premises, which though not, in point of fact, legal
guaran'ees, were generally received as binding docu-
ments, pledging the-depositor -not to transfer his hOtise
before redeeming those papers. However, those papery,
were still in Mr. Bold's possession and the, remaind.-cr of
the money was still unpaid. When the ftrrniture was
being removed from the house It fe weeks ago, in
answer to Mr. Bold's enquiries, it was represented that
the furniture brolorging to Mr, Masker's son. The ques,
tion he submitted to their worships was, whether they
would motion such proceedings.—Mr. Holme: We have
no right to interfere ; that is e‘idently a question at civil
Aspinall : I am instructed that Mr. Moss is
partly cognizant of Mr. Musher's conduct.—Mr. Rohm:
If the applicant produces a written acceptance from the
landlord we cannot interfere. The application was
sanctioned.

In the application of Mr. J. Wickham the following
dialogue arose. Mr. Ho!me: have you not been keeping
a house in tha name of John Harrison ? Applicant : No.
sir; I had a house, and I was known as John Harrigan'',

the name of John Wickham, without any Harrison.
Applicant : It's altogether a mistake. I was not aware
but that my full name was down. Mr. Holme : Have yon
given up the betting house ? Applicant : Yes, sir; I have,
entirely done with betting houses; I have lost five
thousand sovereigns since .I'commenced, and I think it's
time to leave off. I shall never bet any more. Mr. Holrne
strongly advised him to continuo. in 1 his resolution, as he,
