CREAIO2.NE House, CIIELSEA.—An application
Nas made to the Kensington division of magistrates to trans-
for the licence from Mr. Clertles Cooper (who has removed
to the Albion Hotel, Covent-garden), to ?'.lr. Thomas Bart-
lett Simpson who for some time back has been the pro-
prietor and director of Cremorne Gardens. The transfer was
granted unanimously, and in announcing that fact the chair-
man stated that the entire bench concurred with him in the
pleasure he felt at finding Cremorne House and Gardens un-
der the superintendence of so able a director as Mr. Simpson.
He himself had vi,ited the gardens during the last season,
and was highly gratified at the order and decorum that were
observable, for although everybody seemed amused, none
could be offended; nor was there anything to which the
most fastidious could object. Mr. Simpson had, indeed, se-
cured a very high character by his excellent management,
and fully justified the confidence of the magistrates in grant-
ing the lisence, which they did with the greater pleasure,
as they were sure that in the hands of Mr. Simpson the
amusement of the public, poor as well as rich, would be well
and properly catered tor. Several of the magistrates on the
bench expressed their hearty concurrence with the senti-
ments which had fallen from the chairman, and took occa-
sion to congratulate Mr. Simpson upon his great success at
Cremorne. _ _
