The court room was crowded Monday
afternoon, when the hearing of the
license applications was resumed. Tho
application of John McHugh, No. 720
Church street, was first considered, and
Mr.. McHugh, who is one-legQed man,
appeared beside his counsel, Levi o.
Bird, Esq. Mr.. Prickett presented two
circumstances charging McHugh with
doing a bucket business and keeping a
disorderly place. Mrs. Mary 6cully told
a heart-rending story Of how Hhe and her
five children had suffered from want
while her husband spent all his earnings
for whisky at MoHugh's. Once he met
her on the street, on his return from a
trip on boat and tainted her by shak-
ing $2l in her face, which he boosted he
was going to spend in McHugh's. While
he was squandering his money she was
taking in washing and doing whatever
work she could to make living for her
children. She bad known MoHugh TO sell
him drink while drunk. This was about
four years ago. She went to McHugh's o
few weeks ago, she admitted, and triedlto
buy bucket of beer, in order to see If
he would violate the law, but Mrs.
McHugh, to whom she applied, refused
to sell 1t.
Mrs. Elizabeth Stafford said she had
warned McHugh not to sell her husband
liquor, but that the next morning her
husband went there aud got drink,
leaving his watch chain in payment. She
went to McHugh and demanded the
chain, but he refused until he learned
she was going TO the police station, when
he sent 1t back. This was year ago last
March.
Mira. Mary Cook also complained of
her husband getting drunk at McHugh's,
and that they sold him liquor after she
asked them not TO.
In behalf of McHugh, Mr.. Bird pre-.
scented a petition signed by large num-
her Of residents OF his immediate neigh
borhood. Mr.. McHugh explained Mira.
StAford's charge of pawnbroking by
saying that Stafford got drink, threw
down a watch-c chain, and saying 'keep
that till come back" walked out. He
had stopped selling to both Stafford and
Scully over year ago.
Patrick Kerns, Joseph Dawson, George
Pardee, Michael O'Rourke and John
Lewis, testified that McHugh kept o
quiet, orderly, well-conducted place.

Joined in the fight. Thomas Holconb,

that the place was Objectionable and was
not needed, as there were enough in the
