&!r. AUEIONT'S PETITION against the New LI-
CENSING lithe, presented and ordered to be
printed On Friday last.
To the Tionearable the costatons of the UNITED KINGDOM
. of Gr0:...1‘ linirAlN and iiteLIANH, inParliatnent assonthlgd.
The Humble Petition of JouN THOMAS 'BARBER BEAU'
MQST, of •Suuthittupt9ti-street, Strand, Esquire,
, .
That. your Petitioner,-Sevetal year's since, ern-
played a large capital, in causing to be built on
his land, at the eastern and western extremities of
the metropolis, viz at Stepneyyand-at Shepherds'
Hush, neatly 150 houses ; that at the pressing
desire of his renews be [Milt a superior descrip-
•tion of public-house on each estate,. to supply
their reasonable wants, but that be has been un-
able to procure a license to open either house,' itr
consequence of the partial conduct Of 'certain Li-
cewing Justices, the defails of which have been
proved before the Police' Committee of your Ho-
nourable House.
. Yonr Petitioner trusfs that his case'will appear
in,a.tlifferent light to the generality of those which
concern public,houses. 11(ithes he built were
natural appendages to his estate ; kis own tenants
alone Were suftlent to siippoit them ;---the houses
Were necessary tot t heir reasonable accommodation;
and heinvliee houses, they 'were calculated to
afford that 'acconimodation more beneficially to
the puhlicolato tie numerous houses licensed tor
brewers and spirit sellers; they were, not low
drinking house, (so much desired. by the brewers
and spirit dealers), but expensive buildings, of the

common iaterest ; but remainitig its. the
of 40001. whichltc expended in building them;
has beetr hitherto in effect lost.
Your Petitioner employed his capital in this
proper design, as he conceived it to be, without
tear of being deprived 111 its use, liVe,,its he knew
that such Strong public-grounds tor li-
censes were r,irely sheWt), 811 d bee/1111kt, he inougi:t

moral wrong had been COIIIIIIIICII, Cir 0011111 bepn-
ticipated. Filled with a high opinion of the just
protection which the Goverutnent of his country
afforded to all its subject has been one 'of its
zealous supporters ; and in prOof
tint, he laity be allowed to mention, that when
.the State 'Was iih danger„ and active loyalty was
tvatited,-,he ryas one of .the forentOst;
jecting a volunteer corps of ..entincia effieien, y,
w hith he eriminanded tot-many years, without any

His eonfideliCe, flOtt't:ver.i-• rri arr.-protection
I which he enjoyed, the LieenSifi'g Jostieeihave ne-
cessarily leSliened ; for lie lots found, that although

the hand's Of inlcrior Magistrates are trse to "hurt
and itijare Intn;" to disseize.bint,of his, " fiber—
ties and free customs," and to convert his loss to.
their own gi4iri; or that of thOir cOnocsions, with
perfect impunity,
It is truly stated in the Police Colionittvel3
iteVort to your Ifon:- HouSe-,- that " it is the

erimbilottiou of brewers" to he 'I very prejudicial
to the interests of :the community at ;"
that the poor and middling classes comp!
heavily of the badness of the commodity Which
they are compelled to &halt, awl are (given-there-
by to the use Of. .spirits that .the monopoly is

further Progress, and to relieve-the public from.
its atisChievents consequences; " that they strong.

to lend their aid to break down a confederacy,
which is so injurious to the interests :of: the poor
and middling orders of the tomintmity," mid .
" where
,thes monopoly is. at present complete,'
they advise that licenses should be
grained to new
bonus."

\N- petitioner however' finds, . with mingled
astonishment and regret; that . the 11311 now
brought before your lion. House in consequence
Of the above Report, is hi' its provisirinaleillenlat-
ed to increase the very evils which tire Mitts depre-
cated, by taking away, the usual means of legit•
biting victualling houses; without supplying any
'Others practically efficien't bt their pltice, 'ni tt. by
folding ter .the 'difficulties of proeuring,a. licutise
for any house not already licensed, your petitioner
humbly submits, that the monopoly of the brew.
ers would he confirmed—the conversion of vie—
ittalliiig houses into gin-shops he eueouraged,
and the artificial'value of licenses be enhanced.
. Your petitioner also laments, that some portion.
of the desire to protect individuals " froM rangement and Joss of property," expressed
liberally in the Report, has not exteoded beyond
the interest of brewers and otiPirit seller's to that
of persons who. build free looses for the reason..
able and better accommodation of their tenants.
and tbat of the public generally. the houses
which have been feinted licenses for Atone years
past, not more than twelve or litteeo out of Many
thousands, it is believed, have been houses whiek
had been chauged front alefol victunliirtg houses
to peruicious gin-shops; but upwards of 100 out
of 150 houses have been 'refused licenses, where
the houses, had not, by a previous license, pasied
into a brewer's or spirit dealer's interest, nor had
arty imputation or Suspicion against theta; other
than that of being free.hooses...
Your Petitioner, humbly conceiving the (natio°.
lion to be unjust which proposes new 'difficithies
to prevent the licensing of superior and free pub-
lic bottles at 'present unlicensed,' while it is made
imperative on the Magistrates to issue licenses for
theriumetous Sash-houses and spirit, shops which
in defile the metropolis; humbly prtkys, that the Bill
flUttninn may, not, in its present shav'
lofts a 14vv and ha further bUria p ,pass
rly begs, that his
