NEW LICENSE,

Edward Walsh applied for a license for a house at Waikomiti, which he purposed calling the Waikomiti Inn. An objection to this license being granted, siened by 20 of the leading settlers in the district, was handed in. A written objection Ayas also received from Mr Walter McCaul. The grounds on'which these objections were based were—(l) That the accommo dation furnished by the house is in sufficient, (2) That there is already sufficient public-house accommodation in tho district. (3) That if the license be granted, it is feared that the house Avill not be conducted properly, and Avill regain its former character of being a loav resort for loafers, vagabonds, aud thieves. Br Brock appeared for the applicant. Mr Barstow said that Mr W alsh should have sent the application to the Court held at Auckland, as the Waikomiti Avas not in the Eden District.

Mr Brock said that his client had taken the papers to Mr Lodge, but he refused to receive them, stating that Waikoruiti was in the Eden district.

The Bench Avere of opinion that they had no power to grant the license.

SEDUCTION OF LICENSE FEES.

Mr Kissling, on behalf of the publicans in Onehunga asked for a recommendation from the Bench to reduce the license fees. Mr Hesketh supported the application. Mr Barstow said the Bench has no power to grant the application.

KAIPARA DISTRICT LICENSING COURT OF COMMISSIONERS.

The following Avas the quorum of Com missioners : Captain Symonds (chairman), Messrs Weare and Bonar.

The Court sat at noon. Notice of applications from ten publicans had been received by the clerk of the Court, and duly posted up. Edward Downing, the first name en the list, Avas called on, whereupon Mr Coleman, avlio appeared on behalf of memorialists, addressed the Court, pointing out that irregularities had marked the procedure of the Commissioners in former times, which could have invalidated the licenses granted. . That even at the present time they AA'ere not.duly appointed to .sit in Court over, the Licensing District of Kaipara. ' The Chairman : Then you Avish to shew that Aye are not a duly constituted Court ? Mr Coleman : I do. Mr Commissioner Bonar did not see the use of being delayed by mere quibbling. Mr Coleman desired the Court would make a note of his protest, and proceeded to shew by the Licensing Act that -he Avas correct, but Avas in terrupted by Mr Laishley, who said lie had listened with full consideration to his learned friend's remarks, but would submit to the Court that Mr Coleman bad no locus standi whatever before the Court.

Captain Symonds : Let us proceed with business. I have no doubt of the legality of this Court of Commissioners iioav sitting. Mr Coleman again proceeded to criticise the legality of the Court, and to read the 14th section of the Act. •'

Mr Laishley objected to his learned friend making any observations Avhatcver. The Act required seven days notice of any objector. Captain Symonds : No objection of any kind shall in this Court be entertained unless due notice be given. Mr Coleman, however, held up his 14th section again before the Court, Avhich shewed that one month's notice should be given bofore the Court sat.

Mr Laishley again protested that Mr Coleman had no locus standi.

Mr Coleman asked if his mouth AA'as to be shut.'

The Chairman said it was kind of Mr Coleman to ,'open their eyes, but he (Mr Coleman) had no locus standi. He should •shoAV he had a right to addross the Court. Mr Coleman : I have lodged a memorial. The Chairman : We have not seen it. It has not come before us. Mr Coleman : I have not been treated as is customary in a Court of Justice. I wish to explain that the present Court was not duly convened.

Mi- Laishley said he should have lodged objection, aiid again objected to" his learned friend's locus standi. He should stick.exclusively to his memorial. Captain Symonds thought Mr Coleman had no locus standi, and he should not retard business.

Mr Coleman,.:. Does the Court refuse to hear my objection ? ' Captain Symonds : We are here to per form certain business, guided by certain Acts, and cannot take your expression of opinion as our guide. Mr Coleman : Does the Court mean to say my objections are .not correct before hearing them ? I beg, hoAvever, to state that the memorial lias been left with this Court, and I am here on behalf of the memorialists.

Mr J. S. Clendon, Clerk of Court, read the heading of '.'the memorial, Avhich was as follows ':—■ " To tiie Licensing Court for the District of Kaipara, in the District of Auck land^

"We, the undersigned, adult male and feiw^fe residents within the Licensing Dis tri(&V>f Kaipara, do hereby request that no cj£4 .eate shall be granted to enable a prJSii can's license to be issued in respect of a house or houses, being the house known by the sign of the Tokatoka Hotel, situated at Tokatoka, in the District of Auckland,

Mangawhare Hotel; James Hand, Kaipara Hotel; Pearson Wilson, MangaAvai; John Hutchinson, Kaukapakapa; Joseph Hayn.es Kaihu.] '

There was appended to this memorial about 822 signatures. Thomas Gubb, sworn, said he knew the licensing district of Kaipara, as he Avas a resident _in the Kaipara district, and he deposited the memorial iioav before the Court, Avith the clerk of the Court.

He was one of the collectors of signatures. Had obtained more then 400 of them.

Mr Laishley questioned Waiiipu being in the district of Kaipara Licensing Court. Captain Symonds : It's very clear by the map that it is not in the Kaipara district. Mr Coleman : Not so clear. I have here a correct sketch of boundaries, shewing Waiupu in the Kaipara district. Mr Coleman AA'as proceeding to challenge Mr DoAvning's request. Mr Laishley inter rupted.

Captain Symonds ruled Mr Coleman out of order, but was willing to hear him out. Mr Laishley again submitted that Mr Coleman was out of order, as he had not entered notice of his line of objectic n. in accordance Avith 18th section.

Mr Bonar : The applications are correct, let us proceed.

Mr Coleman : They are not correct, which the Court would see if they AA'ished. He replied to Mr Laishley's' reference to the notice of objection, and was going to discuss the merits of Mr Doaviicv's applica tion, when Mr Laishley again protested. Mr Coleman thought he had a right to be heard in a British Court.

Mr Downey's petition had not been Captain Symons : I must (my brother commissioners, opinion being the same), ask you to confine yourself to the memorial You have not lodged any notice of ob jections.

Mr Coleman : No proper notice of Mr DoAvning's application has been given in. Mr Laishley again rose and protested against ny such interference with his client.

Captain Symonds said himself and brother Commissioners Avere of one mind—that they Avould hear nothing .but Avhat referred to the petition before them, and that if Mr Coleman had any objections based thereon the Court Avould consider them.

Mr Coleman : The Court does not appear inclined to listen to ray objections. Mr Laishley desired to knoAV lioav many names Mr Gubb had obtained.

The Clerk of the Court counted 545. Mr Laishley: Now, Mr Gubb, what other districts are in the Kaipara district other than Avhat you have mentioned ? Is Waiupu in ? Mr Clcndon read the boundaries of the Kai para district.

Captain Symonds : Then according to that, the Waipu district must be excluded, as it must be in the Wangarei Licensing District. Mr Gubb could not give the exact popula tion of every district Avithm the Kaipara boun dary.

Mr F. Edger said he had obtained 180 sig natures of people whom he belieA .d to be bona fide settlers, but could not guarantee such Avas the case.

Some time Avas spent in discovering the question, Avhetlier it Avas the duty of the memorialists or the court to offer proof of the exact population, in order to determine what population had signed. The Court ruled it ivas the duty of the memoralists.

Mr. Laishley could prove there ivere 900 residents in the Wairoa district.

Mr. Laishley made an elite and elegant ad dress of about half-an-hour in defence of the hotels and in support of Mr. Dov.-ney's appli cation.

In ansAver to Mr Coleman, Captain Symonds stated the Court admitted the house Avas out side their district.

The Court adjourned at _ '30. The Court on resuming business Avas opened by Capt. Symonds, avlio stated the commis sioners had decided that the memorial shall not be received.

Mr. Coleman explained that the memorial ', had already been received. j Captain Symonds said it Avas insufficiently ' signed. : Mr. Downey's application was granted. Mr. Laishley Avas counsel for Mr. Downey. ; Mr James Hands, Kaipara hotel, had his application granted, Mr Laishley represented the applicant. ! Mr T. Wilson, of MangaAvai, had his appli- , cation granted. Mr Hutchinson, of Kaukapkapa, represented J by Mr Laishley, AA'as objected to, on behalf of j the memorialists by Mr Coleman, 011 the plea that his hotel Avas outside the Kaipara limits. Captain Symonds said such objection should ; have been lodged. j Mr Coleman replied that the Clerk of the ' Court knew perfectly well that it ivas outside. : The Clerk of the Court ackuoAvledged it to be on the other side of the creek. I Mr Coleman thought that if the Court shut : their eyes to the fact, they might as Avell grant : licenses to houses in Dunedin. I Mr Laishley contended the license could be legdly granted by certain clauses of the Act. j &Mr Coleman insisted that the Court could not entertain applications for licensing any ; house outside the district. Mr Laishley said such could be done in cases ' provided for by fifth section of 1874. i After much argument the Court adjourned . this case lor fourteen days. j APPLICATIONS GRANTED. ; Arthur Deacon, Kumeo . T. W. Deacon, j jun., Harkins' Point; T. W. Deacon, jun., j Riverhead ; Joseph Raynes, Kailiu. : application refused. I Mr O'Brien, Waimauku, Avas objected to Py j the Court, as there Avere several complaints \ mode of drunkenness. On the 25th March five drunken diggers AA'ere found in the house, and O'Brien was fined .£5. Mr O'Brien said upon that Sunday half-a dozen gumdiggers came from Waikoukou and asked for a glass of beer. The constable came in as they were drinking. The constable said the house had long been censured. From complaints received he had been led to visit it, and described „it as a drunken scene. Captain Symonds stated that complaints had been received from managers of the railroad, to the effect that this house was a resort for men employed on the line. In regard for the public welfare the Court could not do other than re fuse to grant a reneAval of the license. GRANTED. E. C. Saunders, Tokatoka, Avas the last on the list. Mr Laishley appeared for applicant. Mr Coleman, for memorialists, objected. No tice in accordance Avith the Act had not been given. : After considerable sparring betAveen the learned counsels, the memorialists present advised their counsel to Avithdraw further ob jection. The application Avas granted, and the Court closed. The adjourned sitting takes place before the end of the present month,
