LICENSE COURT.


Almost All the Applications Consid-
cred Yesterday.
When court reconvened at Q. 80 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the consideration
Of the license applications were re-
stunned.
The first case taken up was that OF
Rose Murphy, q new applicant tor a
place at No. Sl3 Taylor street. Mr..
lprickett opposed the application on
the ground that there were already
too many saloonsin the vicinity.
The applicant was represented by
ex-Attorney-G General Blggs, who pro-
duced number OF witnesses In her
favor. and also made q strong plea In
Der behalf.
The case OF Alexander X. Gillespie,
an old place at Taylor and Church
streets, was taken up. MIR. Prickett
presented remonstrance stating that
there were already too many places in
that vicinity.
The applicant was represented by
Walter H. Hayes, who said that.
\ "As there are no specific charges
against MIR. Gillespie the license
have defended this man on tho ground
that there were too many saloons in
the neighborhood, but during that
time there has never been charge
that ne has violated the law in any
respect. The court ruled this morn
ing in the case OF Melarky, that where
cases had been heard and refused. they
would not hear them again, and l
think the same rule should work both
and not considered by the court 1t
should not be noticed afterwards
The Chief Justice seemed to think
that the point was we'll TAKEN and the
case rested.
The next case called was that of
John J. Hanley, an applicant for an old
established house at No. l0l Monroe
street.
Mr.. Prickett called several witnesses
to show that the place was detri-
ment to the neighborhood.
They also testified that they had
. saw fights around the place and knew
that he had sold liquor to intoxicated
persons.
The applicant was represented by
: Peter l.. Cooper. who called several
witnesses to show that the applicant
was man of good character, and had
always kept all orderly house. After
the testimony was heard Mr.. Cooper
made an eloquent plea in behalf of his
client. and the case was then passed.
The application OF Thomas IMlly.
iAoA biANAob wi "a L nun anu on W.
streets. was the next taken up, when
MIR. Prickett said that the only obiec
ton to the place was the fact that there
was too many places in the vicinity,
as was shown by the testimony OF
Father Flynn.
The applicant was represented by
William f. Smalley, who said that the
: place had been kept for IS years. and
that there WAS no objection to the ap
pllcant, or manner in which the place
was conducted.
The Chief Justice said that all these
, objections should contain specific
charges, and the case WIS passed.
The case of John FULLY, No. East
Front street was called, when Mr.
Prickett said that the ground or
which IL was opposed was not stated
, in the remonstrance, but he had wit
, nesses to show that the applicant hal
his windows shut up contrary to law
The Chief Justice said that all the
grounds to the objection should be
filed by the first Wednesday, oil court
and that as this had not been done it
: could not 10 considered. Walter ii
: Hayes represented the applicant. and
) us soon as this decision was rendered
