LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS.

REMOVAL OF LICENSES,

Yesterday at these Sessions, 111 r. Roble'', jun.
presented the following petition to the Court, with
reference to a question which has undergone a great,
deal of out-of-door discussion. It was the first case
in the City under the new Act 'of Parliament for
amending the laws for granting Excise licenses.
To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, at the

Adjourned Sessions, Guildhall.

The humble Petition of Elizabeth Townsend, Old
Corn Exchange Coffee-house, Mark-lane,

Shewetb,—That your petitioner has kept the above prey
raises eighteen years and upwards; that the premises have
now become dilapidated, and rendered unfit for the carry-
athecoCinoizion:iiitotuese

the superintendence of the subscription-room thereof : your
petitioner, therefore, most humbly prays that your Hom
Court will be pleased to grant her a removal of the license
front the premises site now occupies to the new-erected
house, and forming part of the premises of the Old Coin
Exchange. Your petitioner begs leave to state that she has
the concurrence of the Committee of the Old Corn Ex-
change in the present application ; she, therefore, prays
your Hon. Court to grant her petition, and sine, as in duty
bound, &c. &c. ELIZABETH TOWNSEND.

The COURT asked what they had to do with the
matter of the petition ?

Mr. HOBLER, jun. stated that by the 6th of Geo.
IV., cap. 81, section 11, a❑ inconvenience which had
often been severely felt by the Licensed Victuallers
was remedied. that Act gave to two Magistrates,
sitting in Session, the power to remove a license
from one house to another, under certain circum-
stances mentioned in the statute. Formerly the
Licensed Victualler was liable to vexatious delay:,
arising sometimes from the capricious or uncharitable
conduct of certain authorities, and extending to very
remote periods of time indeed. In fact these delays
constituted one of the numerous annoyances to which
the body he alluded to was proverbially liable.
The RECORDER asked why the petitioner did not
apply to the Commissioners of Excise to grant the
removal. It came within their jurisdiction.
Mr. HoBLER replied that the Commissioners would
not put an indorsement on the license until they saw
the indorsement of the Magistrates in Session,
form which was considered expedient as a security
that the applicant was warranted in the course
adopted.
The RECORDER—Has the petitioner the sanction
of the Common Council and Alderman of the Ward
to this proceeding, because I hold that indispensable?
Mr. HOBLER replied in the affirmative.

The RECORDER then desired to see the Act of
Parliament, of which his Lordship seemed to have
no recollection, and Mr. Alderman Ain ley said he
hoped the Court was not about to license two
houses under one licence. That would be rather too
serious a trick, in his opinion.
Mr. HOBLER said, that the house from which it
was sought to remove the license was partly down,
and would be soon level with the pavement,—a
li-
cense to such a house would of course be completely
unavailable. The house must, in fact, come down
by the Act for building the new Corn Exchange.
Alderman AINSLEY said, it would be a pity to
take the premises down, as they might, with advan-
tage, be converted into warehouses.
The RECORDER, whose undeviating adherence to
the statute law is well known, observed, that as the
premises were doomed by Act of Parliament, down
they must come.
After some further discussion, the RECORDER
said, that he was perfectly satisfied with the claims
of the petitioner, and ordered that Mrs. Townsend
should enter into the necessary recognizancesy and
that the removal should forthwith be made.

A warm dispute took place whether au artisan
was the master or apprentice; one Paid, " I observed a.
bump of travelling on his head ;" " Then," returned a girl
of 13, " he is a journey-man." •

SKELETO OF
N THE ELEPHANT CH UNY.—
We understand that the skeleton of this stupendous animal,
which, as our readers will recollect, was shot at the mena-
gerie at Exeter Change in March, 18.'6, having received
150 bullets in is head and body before lie fell, has be..
come the property of an ingenious townsman, who shortly
intends to exhibit it in the Exchange room. It is under-
stood that Chuny was the largest elephant in Europe, and
(luring his lifetime he was exhibited to upwards of two
hundred thousand persons ! The bones stand nearly thir-
teen feet high ; and this is the only instance, we believe,
of a skeleton of such magnitude being 1,,,,;,,,.,,,i
eanable of
removal. By an ingenious contrivance, however, the pro-
prietor has rendered the bones of ( Id Chuny perfectly port-
able; and we have no doubt, that when the exhibition
opens it will prove an object of much curiosity, not only
to the anatomist and naturaist, but to the public generall: .
