TRANSFER OF LICENSES.

(Before Messrs. HOLME and CASTELLAINE.)
Mr. Clarke Aspinall, instructed by Mr. Jacob Walters,
made application on behalf of Mr. Thomas Armstead,
for the transfer of his license from the " Golden Fleece "
in Sir Thomas's Buildings to a house at the corner of
Vauxhall-road and Paul-street, under the 14th section
of the act of Parliament for regulating the transfer of
licenses. Mr. Aspinall stated that the applicant had
been before the magistrates on a previous oc'asion to
have his license transferred, but was refused, on the
ground that his house was not a proper one, but the
house for which he applied at present was superior to
any in. the neighbourhood, and fitted up in the
best style, having been built for the express
purpose. When any house was bought and pulled
down by the Corporation, they were entitled, by
law, to remove the license to another. The new house
for which the applicant wanted a license was built by
Mr. Blezard, from whom he had a lease of the premises
at £l2O per annum. Applicant was examined, and
corroborated the statements madaty Mr. Aspinall. Mr.
Deighton opposed the application, on behalf of two
scripture readers. Mr. Samuel Holme said that he had
seen the house, and as it was not furnished, the magis-
trates were precluded by law from granting the license.
Mr. Bremner appeared on behalf of Mary Lee, for
the removal of the license from the Golden Cross, in Sir
Thomas's-buildings, to a house in Park-street, Park-
road. He said she was in possession when the property
was purchased by the corporation. The application
was made under the fourteenth section of the act of
Parliament already cited, which provides that Whorl- a
licensed house was pulled down for public improvements,
the license shall be transferred to'another. Mr. Mellor.
he said, would oppose—but he had no right to do so—
as though he was, the lessee of the house. Mrs. Lee
was in possession. This application was made befoie
when there was. no objection to Mrs. Lee, but there was
objection to the premises.—Mr. Hohne said, if there
was a question between Mrs. Lee and Mr. Mellor, the
magistrates would not enter into it. The point they had
to settle was, whether Mrs. Lee was the person in
possession of the premises at the time whet). she
would be entitled to another license.---Mr. Bremner
said he would show she was both legally and
morally entitled, and that Mr. Mellor had no
right to oppose her. Ms. J. B. Aspinall, instructed by
Mr. Snowball, appeared for Mr. Mellor. lie stated that,
in August last, he had obtained a decision against Mrs-
Lee,

last,
Mr. Bremner
the magistrates
granted a license to Mrs. Lee, which she held up to the
present moment. He, hereupon, showed the court the
license. Mr. Holme said they must assume that Mrs.
Lee was in possession. Mr. Bremner contended that,
though she had not been in possession, she was entitled
to the license. He had known magistrates grant
licenses two years after the house had been pulled
down. After a long and desultory discussion, the
magistrates decided that she was entitled to the
license. Mr. Bremner then applied for the house in Park-
street, Park-road. This was opposed by the minister of
St. John Baptist's Church, who had a memorial to' the
bench. Mr. Bremner asked him if he was the clergy-
man who had signed a memorial to have a license
granted to a person on the opposite side of the street.
The clergyman said that it was not a memorial, but only
a testimonial that that person was a proper individual
to entrust with a license. The magistrates decided that
the house for which Mrs. Lee made application, was too
near the church.
Mr. Snowball made application on 'behalf of
_Thonias
Deeary, to have a licence transferred from the house of
Mr. 'Cole,. Waterloo-road, to Lime-street. It was,
however, stated by Inspector Houzh, that the applicant
formerly kept 'supper-rooms in Lime-street, and that
they were very irregularly conducted, and that' he had
been four months in jail on that account. The magis-
trates, consequently, refused to grant this licence.
