TRANSFER OF PUBLICANS' LICENSES.

A special sessions for the transfer of publicans licenses
was held yesterday, at the Court House. Chapel-street.
The presiding magistrates were,—The Deputy Mayor
Mr. F. Shand, and Mr. R. Sheil.

The only case which was brought prominently
before the court, was that in which Mr. George Smith
Wright applied to have a license transferred from Mr.
Cullen, who formerly held a license in Dale-street, to a
house which he had recently built in New Wapping. Mr.
Aspinall instructed by Mr. Blackhurst, appeared f)r the
applicant, and said that he applied for this transfer under
rather peculiar circumstances ; it was under the 14th
section of the 9th of Geo. IV , which provided that if any
house being occupied as a public-house, and being duly
licensed, should be taken for any public improvements of
the highways, it shall be lawful to regrant another license in
lieu of it. Mr. Cullen wes for some time the owner of a
licensed house in Dale-street. That property was required
for public improvement, and at the time, the corporation
had some little altercation as to the value, but ultimately
the subject was referred to Mr. Roberts on behalf of Mr.
Cullen, Mr. J. Stewart on the part of the corporation,
and Mr Culshaw, was to act as arbitrator between those
two gentlemen. It was then agreed that Mr. Cullen
should receive a certain price for his property,
and that he should reserve the right of having a license
granted to any other property. This took place in 1850,
but the property was not pulled down until 1854,
therefore there could be no doubt but that in equity mad
justice that he was entitled to a transfer At the last
annual licensing day he had applied for a new license,
but at that time the house was not finished, and it was
then suggested that he should apply for a transfer at these
se.sions. The bench decided that as so long a period had
elapsed in making the application, that the matter had
better stand over until the next annual licensing day.
The following traufers were then grants I
