Lord AUCKLAND moved the second reading of the Ale-
houses I.iccnsing Bill, and observed that he should shortly call
','e attention of the House to the provisions of this bill, which
lisvd been framed to afford protection to the publicans. The ir-
regular mode of withholding licences to publicans had been
toundulost injurious to that body, and in wine instances abso-
lute ruin had fallen upon individuals. It was proposed by this
bill to tine publicans, in case any offence is r.onimitted against
their recaguiaances. For the fist offence they were liable to a
fine of St.: fur the second offence in 'file third offence rendered
them liable to a larger tin or the loss of their licence. it was
however. necessary to Call the attention of the llome to any
of the clauses, with the exception ut one which was intended to
prot..et publicans from the hardship Of a refusal to renew their
-es on the ground that the party had broken the condition
ra ins or tier recognizance. The clause enacted that no refusal
should' take place without giving the party a right to attend the
neat quarter sessions. where the complain: ag:anst them is to be
beard and determined, and in ease the justices of such gene el
quarter 5,.5 pups shalt find that the recognizance has been broken,
tae)' shall have power to annul the licence, and grant another
licence to such persons as they may think tit. The publicity. at
say Mash proeeeding against a publican with respect to with-
l.u:ding his licenee, might be the meaati of affording protection,
but tile noble Lord had I.ollle alkie.tion to the clause as it stood,
and in the committee lie should call the attention of the house
more particularly to the general effect. Ile concluded by moving
trust the bill be committed on Monday next.
Earl BATHURST said, the clause to which the
onoble Lord
adverted took away from the magi•trates the poser withhold
It ':aces, without a decision against the publican at the quarter
sermons. His objection to the clause was this—lt would increase
the business of the sessions. winch already pressed too heavy
the
t
the magistrates. Every public .Itouse squabble would occupy
stssions, and the effect roust be considerable delay in more lin-
partant business. The inconvenience ha many large inanufac-
t.ottng districts would be great indeed.
