MIDDLESEX SESSIONS:
(THIS DAY.)
MUSIC LICENCES.

The October Quarterly Sessions for the county was
held this day, at the Court-house, Clerkenwell- green.
Mr. John May, of the Royal Standard, Vauxhall-
road, applied for and obtained a renewal of his licence
for music.

Mr: Sinclair, of the Southampton Arms, Camden-
town, also renewed his music licence; as did likewise
Mr. Moss Phillips, of the King's Arms, Mile-end-road;
Mr. Wm. Wheale, of the Bayswater Tavern, for a simi-
lar renewal; Mr. J. Cruys, Bell public-house and Lon-
don and Birmingham Railway tavern, Kilburn Wells;
Mr. Charles Lord, Salmon and Ball, Bethnal green-
road; Mr. F. Ward, White Hart, King's-road, Chelsea;
Mr. Wm. Dix, Golden Eagle, Mile-end-road; Mr. Wm.
Brand, Brown Bear, Lemon-street, Goodman's-fields;
Mrs. Hall, Camden Arms, Camden-town; Mr. Willa-
mont, Castle Tavern, Kentish-town; Mrs. S. Johnstone,
Tyssen Arms, Dalaton; Thomas Walter, Green Dra-
gon, Bread-lane, Radcliff; Robert Wornum, Music-hall,
Store-street (for music only); Mr. Horner, Dolphin
Tavern, Mare-street, Hackney; Mr. Read, White
Conduit House, Pentonville ; Mr. Allen, York-
shire Stingo, Paddington ; Mr. P. Wildee,
Ironmonger's Arms, Lizard-street, Old-street-road (for
music only, the licence for dancing being refused by the
Court); Mr. 11. Wellard, Bedford Arms, Camden-town;
Mr. E. Pitt, Eyre Arms, St. John's-wood; Mr. E Cole
Price, Hare and Hounds, Chalk Farm-lane; Mr. J.
Mullett, Edinburgh Castle, Mile-end, Old Town; and
Mr. llolt, Lord's Cricket Ground, St. John's-wood.
On the application of Mr. Thomas Sims, of the Earl
of Effingham public-house, Whitechapel-road, for the
renewal of his music and dancing licence, evidence was
put in of his having been fined twice in the sum of 200.
each time during the last Christmas holidays, for allow-
ing disorderly conduct in his house. Mr. Wilson and
two other magistrates gave Mr. Sims a high character,
and bore testimony to the respectable manner in which
his house was conducted.
Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, who sat with the Court, ob-
served that there was a theatre connected with the pub-
lic-house, and licensed by the Lord Chamberlain to the
applicant, Mr. Sims. He thought it would be more
consistent with former decisions of that Bench, if they
did not grant licences for music and dancing to houses
where dramatic entertainments were also given. But,
however, on account of the character given to Mr. Sims,
and the fact that ho had held the house so long, he (the
Learned Sergeant) could not hold up his hand against
the licence now.
A member of the Court moved that a licence for
music only be granted, upon which Mr. Wilks moved as
an amendment, that the licence be refused altogether,
which was carried by a majority of six to four, upon a
show of hands.

The COURT, after some conversation, came to a resolu-
tion not to grant music and dancing licences to any
public-house or tavern which also had the Lord Cham-
berlain's licence for theatrical entertainments.

-----
Mr. F. Smith, of the King and Queen, Harrow-road,
was refused the renewal of his licence for music and
dancing, upon the statement of a member of the Court
that the house, from the nature of the trade, being a
stage house for omnibuses, &c., was necessarily a very
late house. He said nothing against the manner in
which the business was conducted, but solely on account
of the late hours thought it advisable that music and
dancing should not be allowed there.
After much discussion, the COURT refused to renew the
licence, and decided that such licences should not be
granted or renewed to any house which was permitted,
for any reason whatever, to be kept open at late hours.
The application of Mr. Benjamin Oliver Conquest for
the renewal of his music and dancing licence for the
Eagle Tavern, City-road, was ultimately conceded by a
small majority, after a protracted opposition.

BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
Robert Williams was charged, before Mr. Henry, with
assaulting a police-constable., and creating a disturbance
in the streets.
The constable stated that last night ho was on duty
in Holborn, when his attention was called to the pri-
soner, who was conducting him!elf in a very riotous
manner. He requested him to go away, but the
prisoner,
instead of doing so, said ho would give witness a
specimen of the " eying man," and lifting witness
upon his back he ran some distance and then hurled him
to the ground. Two other constables came up, and the
prisoner was secured.
The prisoner said he had been to the Exhibition, and
returning home he had indulged in drink rather more
freely than usual.
Mr. HENRY fined him 403., or one month's imprison-
molt. The line was paid.
