music licenses fur public bemire. but newt one ha.t been granted,
nor should any, until the opitdon of kbe Atturney-General should

The loan Maroa said, that the publicans who vassuld, after
what had occurred, place any reliance upon the King's rf saw
peter's license, would deserve the penalty fixed by the Act of Pats
liament.
The Deputy said he believed the word " modelle compre—
hended public-houses, taverns, hotels, and, in fact, any sort of
