Eckard p Budd appeared for Robert
nj. Snyder in request to be granted a
license to open the hotel formerly kept by
James Martin. Mr.. Budd said that the
reputation of Mr.. Snyder as hotel keeper
was well known In this county and was
above reproach. He had made a bona
fide purchase of the place and had also
engaged an architect who had prepared
plans for extensive alterations. The
court asked If 1t was the intention of Mr.
Snyder to give the hotel his personal at
tention and if he intended to make it his
residence. To both OF these questions
Mr.. Budd gave reply in the affirmative.
Mr. Snyder will remove his family to the
hotel as soon as the alterations have been
made.
| Judge Horner said he recognized the
importance of having hotel at the loca.
| ton of the place In question and with the
assurance that had been given him he
would grant the application.
A remonstrance was filed against the
application of Douglass Abrams to keep a
hotel at Red Lion. It will be heard later
Prisoners were then called to plead
to the charges against them. They an
swered as follows:
Thomas Davis, Moorestown, assault and
battery. Guilty. This was an alteration
between two men, In which Davis got
heated and hit the other fellow with
small hoe. AS this was his first offence
and he bears an excellent reputation he
was allowed to go by paying the costs in
the case.
Oliver Mingen, larceny of cuff buttons
from Harry G. Collins, of Northampton.
Guilty.
Hughes Mcintyre, Bordentown, assault
and battery. Not guilty.
Edwin Westcott, Northampton, assault
and battery. Not guilty.
J Anthony Poinsett, Burlington, indecent
assault. Not guilty.
Stewart Bishop, Jr., Moorestown, using
an automobile without the owners per-
I mission. Not guilty.
John Lynn, stealing chickens. John
said he did not steal the chickens, but he
got them after they were stolen. Prose-
cutor Atkinson thought this case should
go back to the grand jury and it was so
ordered.
Bertram Frank, Medford, stealing
watches. Not guilty.
Alfred Powell, Burlington, assault and
battery. Not guilty.
Joseph P. Fem, Burlington, forgery.
Not guilty.

| false returns In real estate transaction.

Thomas A. Brown, illegal sale of liquor
at Florence. Not guilty.
Nathan F. Smith, Clifford s. Price and
Atkinson Brothers, Burlington, illegal
sale of liquor. Not guilty.
John Spoon, Florence, illegal sale of
liquor. Not guilty.
| Moses Rosen, who was indicted some
time ago for driving hired horse so hard
that 1t died, was called up. He has made
restitution to the owner of the animal, but
the court did not think that was sufficient
and fined Rosen $50
Adam Solinski had to have an inter-
prefer to inform him of what was going
on. He was indicted for assault and bat
terry and after he had been given the
nature of the indictment he said: 81 am a
little guilty, but not much" The court
ordered plea of not guilty to be entered.
The court then took up the application
of George Russ to have his license to keep
a hotel at Delanco transferred from the
property now occupied near the railroad
station to the new house erected by Mr..
Russ near the Delanco end of the draw
bridge. This location Is directly In line
of travel, which is quite heavy and especi
ally so when the watchcase factory
hands go to and from their work. The
people of Delanco thought the hotel
would be less Objectionable where 1t now
is and vigorous protest arose over any
change being allowed.
The protestants were represented by
Eckard P. Budd. The testimony was to
the effect that hotel was not really
necessary at Delsnco and was certainly not
needed at the point referred to. 1t was
pointed out that the nearness to the trolley
road would make 1t conspicuous and OBJ
! jectionable and that tipping would In
crease If the hotel was placed so near the
line of travel and traffic.
An interesting point was raised during
the examination of witnesses for the op-
! ponents when 1t was disclosed that Mr..
7 Russ does not live at his hotel and doe 9
not occupy the place himself or is 1t lived
in by any member of his family. This
condition was great surprise to all and it
: will probably be taken notice of by the
? court.
George NJ. Hillman represented Mr..
Russ and endeavored to show that the
g travel by trolley and otherwise was SC
great that the hotel would be of greater
benefit In the new new location than In its
present one. Witnesses on this point
however, were not positive and many OF
them admitted they could not see the
necessity for hotel anywhere In Delanco
One witness said he had lived near the
hotel for two years and did not know that
the owner attempted to take care of the
t travelling public and he had frequently
sent men over to Riverside to stay al
night.
After hearing argument on both sides
, Judge Horner said the law on the trans
fer of license was as binding and as expli
cit as In the original granting. He re
viewed the testimony and said the wit
nesses for the transfer, especially the ap
! plicant himself, had not shown that the
transfer would be conducive to the public
!. good. The application was refused.
