ANNUAL LICENSING COURTS.

City South.

(Before Captain Anderson, Chairman, and Messrs D.'Goldid, G. Harper, J. Winks, and Chas. Hesketh, Licensing Commis sioners). The annual Licensing Court for City South was opened at noon to-day in the K.M. Courthouse. Superintendent Thomson re presented the police and Mr T. Cotter ap peared for tho Licensed Victuallers' Asso-

ciation

The Wellington Hotel—Application to Re-license.—Andrew Robert Durin ap plied for a new licenso for the above house, which for aomo time past has been closed through the withdrawal of the license.— Mr Theo.Cooper appeared for the objectors, and Mr Cotter for the applicant. — Mr Cooper said that although ho had entered a number of technical objection!} to tho applications, still ho would not argue thorn,#)ut rest his argument entirely.on the broad ground which should determine ail such applications, viz., "Is the hotel re quired 1" Ho held in his hand a memorial signed by 050 persona, who wore of. opinion that it was not required.. Mr. Cooper, went on to recount the reasons which actuated the Bench sometimo ago to cloao the hotel. Ho challenged his learned friend to adduce tho slightest proof thao tho public had been in any .degree injured by the closing of tho hotel two years ago. If the public had not been injured thereby, that, was tho best evidence of tho hotel not being needed. The fact that the former licensee and the leaseholder had suffered should not weigh witli tho Bonch. Besides, he could show that the consumption of drink had. ac tually fallen off. The liquor bill of the colony was now L 400.000 less than it was live years ago, thuß showing thut tho habits of tho people had altered for the bettor. During the samo poriod tho consumption of .tea had increased 30 per cent. ]Nor was the falling on" in drink consumption attributable to poverty, for the peoplo had put their money into tho Savings Bank. Moreover, the fact that 550. residents in tho neighbourhood of tho Wellington Hotel had signed the memorial objecting^ to the ap plication, and showed conclusively that it was not required. Every signature was tho g'jjiuino signature of an adult resident, the bulk of the signatures being residents within a radius of "600 yards of the house. Tho most distant signatory lived in Pou sonby Road 900 yards distant. 31 of them lived within 100 yards of the house, and 43 of thorn lived in Wellington-street. He submitted, therefore, that thore was no necessity for-the house. Mn Cotter con sidered that the fact that the hotel had been liconsed for 16 or 17 years was con clusive proof that it was used during that period. What extraordinary circum stances thon arose in 1885 to justify it being closed. At any rate,' the question remained was it required; now 1 and the Bonch were at liberty to decide that point unfettered by any action of their predecessors. It was not the intention of the Act that each hotel should only bo licensed for a year, but that "at " yearly periods tho license should bo renewed. Neither did tho Act prescribe that the hotel should be re quired in " the immediate neighbourhood " lor instance wero all tho bedrooms of tho Star Hotel required in the immediate neigh bourhood? The thing was absurd. Travel ler's requirements had to bo met,and. it was to provide for such wants that hotels had arisen all over tho city. In 1885 thd*:Robert Burns was removed becauso tho .owner had commenced tho erection of a now front, while the Wellington Hotel having been re ported upon as very dilapidated the license was taken away although the trustees promised to erect a now v hotel which would co9t L 2.000, plans for which were prepared. Not being a political aspirant like his learned friend, ho wad not' Quipped with data..regarding tho comparative con sumption of alcoholic liquor and tea, but he could point to the fact that during tho last seven or eight years tho population of City South had largely increased, while tho number of hotels had oesn lessened by two. It was, of course, true that the disappear ance of a hotol liko that of any man did not make itself much felt. Even Mr Cooper's disappearance to Wellington or elsewhere could bo spared and would not be felt. The learned gentleman Went on to argue that, tho Wellington Hotol was required in the district. As for tho memorial signed by 550 adults, Mr Cooper had failed to state that 364 of those adults -were females. Remembering, therefore, that every household could exercise two or more votes, he submitted that 500 was not a fair proportion of the residents in the neighbourhood. Mr Cotter pro ceeded ■to twit the temperance people with unwillingness to supply accommodation for travellers so as to avoid the accessories of ah hotel. The only attempt they had ever made in that direction had ended in a fizzle, yet Mr Dunn was prepared to pull down his old building and to. erect a new structure at a cost of L 2,000. —Mr Cooper iii reference to a remark by Mr Cotter pointed out that legally licenses were merely permits for twelve months.— Mr Cotter admitted that this was technically correct but felt sure no Bench would ad minister the Act in that way. The Chairman intimated that the majority of the Bench were of opinion that the hotel waa^pot required.. .Therefore the applica tion would be refused. - - : --J >

The Jubilee ISotcl

\ The rumour of the fact of Newmarket being about to celebrate the completion of the fiftieth year of Her Majesty's reign in building a hotel worthy of Auckland's beer producing suburb has passed into a reality, and a license has been granted to Mi- Frederick Lewis Protheroe (Suiter nnd Co.) upon the application of Dr. Laishley. Mr O'Meagher and Mr Button appeared—the first for Mr Warnock, the latter for other memorialists—against the license being granted. Dr. Laishley, in moving tho application, showed that tho plans of tho proposed building,' which. wei-o displayed upon the platform, were not for a drinking shop, but a first-class hotel, of which Newmarket might well be proud. The building was to stand at the corner of the Manukau and Kyber" Pass roods, and would be an orna ment to the place. There would be ample accommodation for travellers, and the bar would be only of secondary import ance. It would be built of brick, and contain six or seven eitting-roome), and a large number of bed-rooms. Tenders for tho building had been called for* and the foundations were now being erected. The total cost of tho building would be over L' 2,000. He had heard it ob jected that no house existed to which to grant tho license, but he would point out that under sub-section 7, section 44, of the Licensing Act, any application for a new license could be dealt with if the plans were deposited for tho inspection of tho Com mittee, although tho final granting of the license could not be done till the hotel was actually erected. He aßkod the Commiteeo, as business men, if anyone would erect such a building a« it was proposed to put up on pure speculation. It might be a delicate quos tion to raise a« to whether there was al ready sufficient hotel accommodation in Newmarket, but he would point out that the place was a railway stopping place, and required more accommodation of the sort than other places. The requirements of the Act had been all complied with.

Mr Button and Mr O'Meagher now rose and asked that the list of signatures to tho memorials they represented should be ad mitted.

Dr. Laishley, although pointing out that this wa3 in reality admitting to an untrnth, consented to tho same. Dr. Laishloy further pointed out that tho ratepayers, as provided for by the Act, had decided in favour of an increase in the number of licensed houses.

This Mr Button admitted. The poll had been 9 in favour of increase, againso 7 against the samo. Dr. Laishley then wished to read a letter re the Royal George, but Mr O'Meagher ob jecting, ho did not do so. Mr Button considered Mr O'Meagher right in his objection. Mr Button thon spoke on behalf of certain memorialists against the license being granted, 125 in number. A new house was not re quired, and he submitted this should go a long way with the < Committee. If Dr. Laishley had a plea ho should have had the license of tho badly conducted hotol removed. , In regard to local option, ho contended that the vote was by no means representative. It was idleness to say that 7 to 9 represented the whole votes of New market. Dr. Laishloy hid said the hotel was to bo named 'tho Jubilee Hotol, doubt loss to commemorate the Jubilco year of the reign of Her Majesty. It was a curious way to commemorate it thus; by the erec tion* ofv":.h's6Srs7"Jlioßpiknls, asylums, and gaols. (Cheers.) There was a close rela tionship between these institutions. Mr Button further nrgued at length that the Act clearly demonstrated that the house to bo licensed must be in ex istence. Could the Bench stultify itself by certifying that the necessary condition had been fulfilled until the house was built ?

Mr O'Meagheralsoably argued to the same effect, and endorsed everything Mr Button had said. The elegant plans bofore him l'eminded him of the plans of some American township, attractive enough on paper, but only in reality a wilderness. Dr. Laishley had acted most unfairly in slandering- the proprietor of the Royal George Hotel. Dr. Laishley replied at some length, and pointed out that he did not ask for a license to be issued, till the house was erected, but that the Bonch should give authority to the clerk to issue tho license when he was satisfied the plane had been carried out.

The Committee, after an adjournment of twenty minutes, granted the license upon the house being erected in a specified time. Dr. Laishley said the house would be up in three months.

Wellington, this day, Railway Soai'ds Bill-

Tho Hon. Mr Richardson's Railway Boards Bill provides for the estab lishment of- three representative Boards of Advice —one for Auckland, with three members ; one for Hawke's Bay, Taranaki, and Wellington of five members 5 and one for Otago ancf Canterbury of nvo members. The Minister of. Public Works is ex officio member of each of the Boards, and the others hold office for two years. The Board, besides other functions, may recommend the construction of branch railways or extension, but the of existing railways, and the reduction or increase of officers, and their'recommenda tions shall be submitted to Parliament, Minister has authority to act ad intenni on the recommendation of tho Board if ho chooses.

His Name was "Walker."

During tho course of the debate on the Village Settlements last night, Mr Bruce mentioned that a gentleman, after visiting Canada and America, came here with L 50.000, with the inten tion of settling in the colony, but on hearing of the existence of Sir George. Grey's Land Requisition Bill, he hurriedly left, taking his money with, him. The Premier was sceptical ap parently, and asked for the name '.of the gentleman. Mr Bruce replied that he did not know his Jnamo; his money was the main thing. Thereupon someone handed the member for Rangitikei a scrap of paper, and he added: —VI am now m a position to toll tho Premier his name; it was'1 Walker.', Everyone saw joke and laughed, except Sir Robert Stout who looked stolidly about him wondering what tho House was amused at.

In tho paragraph regarding the forth coming poultry show in Auckland, a few rather ludicrous mistakes wero made by the intelligent compositor. With a touch of Mark Twain's humour, the printer included "ewes" among the poultry, when he should have said " owls. The date of tho opening of the chow is 28th July next—not January as printed.
