LL LICENSING SE,

THE annual meeting of the boz
purpose of hearing applications for new licences, N;
yesterday, in the sessions house, Chapel-street. The 31

Presided; and there were also present the following magis-

Lawrence, Romilly, Crossthwaite, W. Brown, M.P., &c.

There were 143 applications for public-house 1
and six for licences to billiard and bagatelle rooms

court was densely crowded, and the proceeding
considerable interest. Before the proceedi—
MR. BREMNER, solicitor, said, that representing, as he
did, the Licenced Victualler? Association of Liverpool,
perhaps he might be permitted to offer a few observations
to the court before the business commenced. It had been
the custom, for many years, for the Licensed Victuallers'
Association of Liverpool to present a memorial to the
bench, stating the number of public-houses in the town,
the comparative area and population of this and other large
towns, and other statistics connected with the trade, and
usually ended with the prayer that the magistrates would
not grant any additional licences. Now, on the present
occasion theLicensedVictuallers' Association did not intend
to take this course ; and their reasons for this step were of
a two-fold character. The first was, that a select committee
of the House of Commons had been appointed during the
last session, on the motion of one of that honourable bench,
to inquire into the whole of the laws relating to public-
houses and beer-houses ; and although a great mass of
evidence had been adduced before such committee, no re-
port had yet been presented ; and, pending the presenta-
tion of the committee's report, the Licensed Victualler?
Association of Liverpool did not now intend to take any
part in a subject which it must be admitted was be-
come a vexatio questio ; nor did they, on the other hand,
intend to take a step by which it might appear that they
selfishly desired to oppose the granting of licenses en
masse, or to individuals in particular. Indeed, this latter
course they had never pursued, except on the ground of
public morality. The second reason why the association
did not intend to do either the one or the other was this,
that the witness who was deputed by the association to
give evidence before the select committee offered it as the
grave and deliberate opinion of the society that the juris-
diction for the granting of licenses was wisely vested in
the magistrates ; that the modus operandi could not be
improved ' • and that, in fact, a tribunal more free from
objection had never even been suggested by any one.
Of that evidence he ' would only say, that, while it
elicited the admiration of those with whose views it was
in accordance, it extorted an expression of respect from
some members of the committee who were opposed to the
view which the witness took of the question. Having,
therefore, deliberately recorded in parliament their opi-
nions the association, on this occasion, was perfectly willing
to leave the entire matter in the hands of the magistrates,
feeling sure that they would exercise a wise and im-
partial discretion, and that justice to the public on the
one hand, and the interests of individuals on the other,
would be consulted by the bench in the decisions at which
they might arrive.

).s excited

gs commenced,

The applications were then proceeded with, Everton
and Kirkdale ward, in which there were 29 applications,
being taken first.

Amongst other applications,
Mr. SNOWBALL appeared in support of one by a widow
named Sarah Connolly, for a licence to a house at the
bottom of St. George's-hill, Netherfield-road, Everton.
Mr. Snowball stated that Mrs. Connolly had kept a pub-
lic house in Crooked-lane for a period of 35 years, and
that the house having been burnt down, she had
taken another house in Netherfield-road, Everton. The
application was rather for a removal than for a new
licence, and he hoped the bench would not refuse the
application.

- Mr. SNOWBALL supported an application by Mr. Jesse
Ming for a license to a house in Roscommon-street. Mr.
Ming was at present manager at the Merchants' Dining-
rooms, Tithebarn-street.

In answer to a question from Mr. ADAM HODGSON, the
applicant admitted that it was not his present intention to
give up his situation as manager of the Merchants' Dining-
MOMS, _ _

Mr. SNOWBA.LL said he might explain, with reference to
the question which had just been put by the magistrate,
that Mr. Ming was, happily, a married man, and had a
wife who was a capital manager. (Laughter.) Mr. Ming's
duties at the Merchants' Dining-rooms would terminate
between five and six o'clock in the afternoon, and he
would therefore be at liberty to manage the house in Ros-
common-street during the whole of the evening, when his
services would be the most required. -

Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE, as one who was in favour
of the trade being thrown open to the public, wished to
explain that he was opposed to any person having a licence
who was not prepared to manage the house in person. He
would not sanction the duties being performed by either
father, wife, son, or any other deputy.
Mr. SNOWBALL, in supporting an application by Joseph
Holliday, for a licence to a house in Derby-road, Kirkdale,
referred at some length to the observations made by Mr.
Bremner at the commencement of the proceedings, and de-
nounced them as improper. The learned gentleman was
proceeding to complain of what he called the improper in-
terference of the body styling itself the Licensed Victual-
lers' Association, when

The bliron stated that each case must stand upon its
own merits, and independently of the Licensed Victual-
lers' Association.

-----
Mr. SNOWBALL, in continuation, said that although the
association said that they did not come forward to oppose
the granting of licences, yet no one could say, from the
speech of Mr. Bremner, that that was not the case. The
truth was that their object was a monopoly, and he was in
a position to prove that they had raised the value of
a licence from £2OO to £430. _

air.-BIZ3II,IEIL denied the construction which Mr
Snowball had put upon the observations which he (Mr. B.)
had addressed to the bench.
Mr. SNOWBALL insisted that Mr. Bremr
an endeavour to prevail upon the magistrates not to grant
any more licenses. Now, the licensed victuallers' body,
as they called themselves, were not, in fact, licensed vic-
tuallers in the proper sense of that term. One half of
them were persons who merely sold a glass of gin over
the counter. Such people as these were not licensed
victuallers, for a licensed victualler was a person who was
in the habit of selling to the public something to eat. Mr.
Snowball repeated that this association did not appear in
that court for the benefit of the public and society, but
their object in coming forward was to raise the value of
licenses, and thus sustain their own monopoly. Mr. Snow-
ball was proceeding in his animadversions on the Licensed
Victuallers' Association, when
The MAYOR desired him to confine himself to the
application.

's speech was

Mr. SNOWBALL then supported Mr. Holliday's applica-
tion, on the ground that he had built a really substantial
house, and now he wished to have a license granted to it.

Mr. BREMNER supported an application made by Mr.
James Molloy for a license to a house in Rake-lane, Kirk-
dale. In the course of his remarks he denied Mr. Snow-
ball's statements, that he was present with a view of
opposing new licenses; on the contrary, he was present
for the purpose of supporting several applications.
The MAYOR here remarked that the time of the court
could not be wasted with such a discussion.

Mr. BREMNER said he hoped the court would not
accuse him of having provoked it. Mr. Bremner having
stated the grounds on which Molloy made the application,
Mr. BRETHERTON opposed the application, alleging that
the applicant was a trafficer in licenses.
The whole of the applications in Everton and Kirkdale
Ward having been gone through, the magistrates retired
for the purpose of considering their decision. On return-
ing into court,

The MAYOR said he had to announce that a licence was
granted to William Dunbar, of Breck-road, and to Sarah
Connolly of St. George's-hill, Everton. The rest were re-
fused.

SCOTLAND WARD,

The applications in this ward were twenty-three, several
of which were for licences to new hotels which had been
erected in Regent-road, in the neighbourhood of the new
north docks. Licences were granted to Richard Cubbin,
Joseph Meacock, William Wood, and Edward Wareing,
for houses in Regent-road. All the other applications
were refused.
ST. PAUL'S, EXCHANGE, CASTLE-STREET, ST. PETER'S,

AND PITT-STREET WARDS.

There were five applications in St. Paul's ward, two in
Exchange, five in Castle-street, four in St. Peter's, and
four in Pitt-street.

Mr. ASPINALL, barrister, supported an application for a
licence to the Lancashire and Yorkshire and the East
Lancashire Railway Station, in Tithebarn-street. The
application was in the name of John Thomas Williams.
In making the application, the railway company was only
following the example of almost all the other companies
in the country. The applicants proposed that Mr.
Williams should conduct the business himself for the first
twelve months, in order to see what it was worth, and
after that time, it would, no doubt, be let to some respect-
able tenant.
The M.Krou—What is Mr. Williams ?
Mr. AspirrA_LL—lle is one of the superintendents of the
company. _

Mr. SNOWBALLL supported an application of Mr. William
Roberts, of Castle-street. The learned gentleman stated
that 111 r. Roberts, who formerly kept a hair-dresser's shop,
in Church-street, had recently fitted up premises in Castle-
street, as a restaurant. From two to three hundred
gentlemen dined there every day, and Mr. Roberts
very properly thought, that when other people had
licences for these places, there could be no reason
at all why he should not have one. The magistrates
had, on former occasions, granted licences to several
restaurants, and he believed there was no one instance
where any injury had resulted to society
in consequence.
A license had been granted to the Clarendon dining-rooms,
in South John-street, the occupiers of which were really
like
licensed victuallers, and not, as he had already said,
some persons holding licenses who calledthemselves licensed
victuallers. There were also the Eldon Dining-rooms, the
Merchants' Dining-rooms, and Mr. Fisk's, in Castle-street,
who had had licenses granted, and no injury had been
sustained, but, on the contrary, a great public convenience
had resulted from it. He could not see why Mr. Fisk
should have a lieense and Mr. Roberts not, because they
were exactly in the same position. He did not think that
any one ever heard of a person getting drunk in a
house of this kind. Now he (Mr. Snowball) perceived
that Mr. Feeny, who was making a similar application,
would have the benefit of the services of his learned friend
Mr. Aspinall, and he hoped Mr. Feeny would succeed in
his application ; but this he would say, that Mr. Aspinall
could not bring an argument forward on behalf of Mr.
Feeny which would not apply with the same force in
favour of Mr. Roberts.

Mr. BOLTON.—Is the whole of the house occupied by
Mr. Roberts ?
Mr. SNOWBALL.—It 18.
Mr. BoLToN.—What rent is he paying ?
Mr. SNOWBALL.—Two hundred a year.
Mr. SNOWBALL next appeared in support of an applica-
tion for a license made by Mr. Thomas Briggs, for a house
in Drury-lane. The house had been built solely for the
purposes of a restaurant.

In answer to a question from Mr. J. H. Turner, the ap-
hcant said that he intended, along with his family, to
reside on the premises.
Mr. ASPIL&LL next aped on behalf of 3lr. Feeny,
for a license to the new Merchants'
Dining-rooms, now
erecting in Slater-court Castle-street, and said that the
document which he held in his hand not only proved

that there was a necessity for the license, but it also prOY'e_;`,

merchants and gentlemen in Liverpool. Referrinr
