ALE-HOUSE LICENSES.

Mr. ESTCOURT, in purseance of hi* notice, rose to move -
for leave to, bring in a Bill to regulate the Licensing of Ale.
houses in England. He stated some of the alterations he de.
sired to effect. One was to protect the parties interested in ob.
taming licenses from the dangers of inadvertency or neglect,
by requiting the Magistrates to adjourt the first Meeting for
purpose of granting licenses, to future day in the same month,
so that there should in effect be two licensing days instead of
one. Another very useful regulation he thought would be to
cause notice to be sent to all die Magistrates' and Parish Officers
of the district of the days appointed for licensing, as well- at to
the PubliCent Annther was, that the body of every license
,i!ould contain the names ofall the Magistrates present when it
was granted. and that it should be signed by a majority of them.
11 Übl E seconded the motion, and recomineinied the con.
solidation of all the Acts upon this subject. Ile animadverted
upon the itiMses which prevailed and recommended that the
system should be more open than it now was.
After a few words from Mr. Loci:HART, Sit M. W. Rzu.
it V, and Mr. ErreottaT in reply, leave was given to brine
in the Bill.
