Mr.. Prlokett called several witnesses to
show that the place was not needed,
and ii. q. Turner and Walter H. Hayes,

ing against Mr.. Glnglebach personally.
Mr.. Priekett presented remonstrance
and called several witnesses to show
that there are n sufficient number OF
places in that vicinity.

The pft-refused application of Elam
Page Iof Port Penn, wns again taken
up with Ii. G. Turner, Esq, for the
applicant. Mr. Prlckett said that with
the number Of times this case had
been before the Court he did not think
1t worthy of consideration. He had
not thought it worth while to bring
any testimony to show that when the
place was licensed it was not kept in a
proper manner.
Mr.. Turner eontroverted this state
ment, and called witnesses to show
that Page is proper man to keep q
place, and that saloon is needed at
Port Penn, there being no drinking
place within four miles.
The next case called was that of
George Sharp of No. 500 Pine street.
Walter II. Hayes and II. Q. Turner,
Esqs., appeared for the applicant, and
asked that the application be granted,
on the ground that Sharp is an old SOL
dier and was wounded in the service.
Mr.. Prlckett opposed the application
on the ground that there are already
a number of places in the vicinity, and
that Sharp had been turned down for a
violation of the law. There were no
witnesses called, but Mr.. Hayes pre-
sented several letters in favor of Mr..
Sharp, and the matter was then left
with the Court,
The application Of George NJ. Ben
nett, for license for a place at Mar
shallton, was the next taken up, and

plicant, called several witnesses to

are frequently called upon to do work
and attend to business in Marshallton,
and that there is no hotel or place
where they can stop, They also con-
sidered Mr.. Bennett proper person
to Keep hotel, and thought place
OF that kind was urgently needed.
