SLVMDSR IM Tug LICENSING ACT.

Application was made for a license for Mr. t tiller!, of Cortahlll.
The petition stated that improper means Awl been take.' to oppose
the application on a former occasion, and implored the Court to
dismiss all unfounded statements from their minds.

Mr. Aositoutts put io a Petition against the application. stating
that the Magistrates had already refused to license the house—that
a reduction rather than au increase was desirable. 'lbis was signed
by ninety inhabitants of the Wald.
Another Petition was also presented to the same effect, front
the Licensed Victuallers of the Ward.

It was represented, on the part of the applicant. that there were
but fifteen licensed houses in the Ward.

The Loan Maros here observeda:to the doubts relative to the
serving of notices, according 'o the new Act of Pli lament, men-
tioned on the last day, it appeared to be impossible to concur with
it, as notices could not be served three times within t• e term sped-
ivd. He (the Lord Mayor) bed directed that the Solicitor General
should be consulted. The Sofirittsr General's opinion was, that the
notices should have been given according to the Act, and that not
having been complied with, be did not know bow the Court could
be justified in granting licenser.
Mr. Axurr contended against this opinion. Ile thought that
the LegisLture never could have intended to is.fiiet a punishment
upon individuals for its owls errors. Nothing .cull be more pal-
pable than the blunder in the Act. and artbe serving of notices was
merely made necessary, in order that doe inquiry should be insti-
tuted into she character orapplicams. that twin bad been vs effec-
tually observed if if it had been done in accordance with a perfect
Act, and the objection was, of course, no longer avelable. He
( Sir. Alley) could not pin his faith to any nian's judgment. It bad
been stated that the Cows ought not to construe the **chiding see-
tiOn literally, but experience had shown him hose much better it
was to go by the letter, than by any fancied spirit which might ape
pearl.. it.
' The Loan Maros said, we are of opinion that the notices requited
have not been given by Mr. Hillary, and we therefore refuge the
license.

Mr. Roscoe, jun. said that he kad to apply to the Court for a
Ueenw for Mr. Wanes, of the Ruropean Coffee.housr. and be
slotted to know whether the decision of. the Court comprehended
that ca.e.

The LORD Maros said it itertainly did.
Mr. iloat.ae--Then we are to undeastand that no new licenses
are to be granted until next year?
The Lose Mairoa—se.enainly. It is Impossible that you can
comply with the Act, and we cannot depart from it ; and he trusted
that the Court would act independently or the Solicitor General's
opinion in dceiding on the merits et this question.
Alderman WAITIIMAN brae mated, that be bad considered this
question so minutely that the most leaned lawyer in the world
would not alter his opinion upon it.
Mr. Amer begged leave respectfully to pass by the Worthy
Alderman, and to address himself to the rest of the Bench, who
dad net appear to have made up their mind• to resolutely on the
subject. He had upon his side Mr Justice Fortewee, one of the
ablest Judges of his day, who distinctly proved that every city was
in a county The hey of the Act itself supported his opinion that
the city of London was is the county aft Middlesex, and of course
his clients were entitled.
M. Mamma followed on the same side.
Mr. Anol.ralua was against the petitioners. •
