London, England, 1828-08-09 00:00:00

Sir R. BIRNIE—No, no—let us have no speeches.

Blakernore—As insinuations were thrown out re-
specting the respectability of Mr. Wormall's house, I beg
that the Magistrates will peruse the certificates which I
now offer them. His house, though not so large, is as re-
spectable as any in London.
Sir R. BIIINIE—I will find you twelve as respectable
Louses as it without going very far. Every house almost
in Norfolk-street, Howard-street, and its neighbourhood,
were lodging-houses, and all of them might apply for li
cences, anal under this Act we have no power to refuse
them unless something can bo alleged against the good con-
duct of tie house.

Mr. HALLS.-... 1 think for my own part, that the legis-
lature have done a very good thing, though I do not be-
lieve that they iutended to do so.

Mr. Trewilitt—l have evidence to shew that it was
originally a place for selling coffee in small quantities—a
coffee-shop.
Mr. Blakemore--No ; it never was a place where
people could take plates of meat.
Mr. HALLS—I should not care if it was. People are
as well entitled to drink cheap as to eat cheap. If any
misconduct could be alleged against the house, that would
he a good ground for refusing the license.
Mr. Blakernore—l challenge them to prove any miscon-
duct, and I am prepared to shew—
INIr. HALLS—There it no such charge, or otherwise the
Magistrates might exercise the discretion given them in
such cases by the Act of Parliament, if the house appeared
to be an improper one.
Mr. Trewhitt said that the Act of Parliament applied
to permanent Hotels, and not to new sprung up places like
the Strand Hotel.
Mr. HALLS—I care not whether the house be a new
sprung up one or not, so long as it has been open the time
specified by the Act of Parliament, which I admit is very
stupidly worded.

Sir k BIRNIE.—The Act is a protecting Act, and un-
der it we are compelled to grant the license of the applicant,
to protect him from informations.
Mr. HALLS.—It is not in our province to decide whe-
ther the Act is mischievous or the contrary.
Mr. Blakemore now read two letters from respectable
persons in the country, showing that the Strand Hotel
had been used as such for 18 months prior to the first of
January last.
Mr. HALLs.—AII this will be for the benefit of the li-
cense. The more customers you have of that description
the better.

Mr. Plakemore—Why call this place a coffee-shop,
when at this moment the Bishop of Winchester and his
two daughters are stopping there?
Sir RICHARD BIRHIE—As this was the first applica-
tion of the sort, I thought it necessary that all the Magi-
strates should be here. They are all here now, and they
are unanimous in their decision that the license should be
granted.
Mr. Trewhitt—Similar licenses have been objected to
elsewhere: At Guildhall only one license was granted out
of six applications. _ _

Sir hicuann BIRNIE—WeII, and if s►x houses that I
could name were to apply, there would not be even one
granted.
Mr. Ilm.t.s—We know nothing of Guildhall. They
may have had sufficient reason for acting as they have done,
but we think the license should be granted.
The parties then left the office.

Loss OF A STEAM BOAT.—We have heard,
we fear on too good authority, that en Friday night last,
when the City of Dublin steam-boat was on its passage
from Liverpool to the Irish capital, it had the misfortune
to come in contact with another steam boat, supposed to be
the Birmingham, bound from Dublin to Liverpool, which
it instantly ran down, when every person on beard perished.
We have heard no ; further particulars, except that the
accident is supposed to have happened, owing to the unlucky
and unpardonable neglect of both vessels to place lights at
the mast-head. There is reason to fear a loss of many
lives, as the vessel was probably full of Irish reapers going
to seek harvest work in Englancl.,Duinfries Courier.
