Several applications were rejected in consequence OF
the papers being irregular. While the above licenses
we're being granted Mr. KERR stated that some person
had been in the habit of obtaining licenses from the
Board for various persons, to whom he represented
that he was acquainted with the Commissioners Mr..
Kerr said that the papers SO presented were rrega,ar
never seen Mr.. Gannett until within few days. Mr.
Kerr said that it reported that the Commissioners
had charged 81 on large number OF the licenses,
which they reserved for themselves. Az fer as he was
concerned this charge fase. He had always done
Justice to the applicants and would scorn to do such
thing a. was charged. Mr.. Kerr was proceeding still
further to excupate himself by saying that the appl-
cants for licenses for the most part went to Mr. Has
kets Office first when Mr. Haskell took umbrage, and
In fierce manner told MIR. Kerr hst his Office had
nothing to do with the matter before the Board. lie

he had no objection to be addressed In regular man
ner but he did object to Mr.. Kers making the meet
ings of this Board place to CRAFTY his private iee
Mr.. GASsTTr, who was present here requested tina
he might be permitted to make an explanation.
Mr.. HOLMES said that he had understood from the
propretors of Lafayette Hall that Mr.. Gannet had
some land which vaueless but upon the strength
Of which Mr. Gapnett signed the bonds Of applicants

Mr.. GAssrTr denied the charge. He said that in
all matters be had strictly complied with the provis
ions Of the law He had procured some twenty or
thirty licenses for various persons from THE Board,
and he would challenge 1t to be said that the papers
were not strictly legal On the contrary, he had
taken the utmost pains TO have the papers regular and
in legal form. He said that the Board had granted
several licenses to-day in which the papers were rreg-
mar. He could prove them to be SO. People did not
suppose that the bonds be signed by reehOlders

should be strictly complied with.
Mr.. HAsKrrT suggested that the business OF the
Board be proceeded with.
Mr.. HOLMES thought 60 too, and the applications
were then proceeded with. Previous to the adjourn
ment Of the Board, however, Commissioners HAsKErr
and HOLMES denied having completely in granting IL
censes except in strict compliance with the law.
