A large number Of those who voted for the

would be made 10 destroy the house kent bv
Mr. wiley, and the board was undouhtedly
aware oil this faci-for instead Of reieclinu his

choly yet terrible certainty, the result OF mis-

exponenls Of the taste ard liberaily OF our il

~ We, the undersigned, believe that house o

intoxicating drinks, Is necessary in Kennel
Square, for tho accommodation Of travellers
and we are in favor Of James White hayini
such license.
