Before the Mayor (Mr Councillor Strawson), Coun- cillor Greenhous (ex-mayor), and W. E. Garnott- Botfield, Esq. A BEERHOUSE LICENSE REFUSED.—MC J. A, Talbot, of Newtown, on behalf of the official liquidator of the Montjj9jjj £ ryg]1ire Brewery Com- pany, in liquidation (Mr E. H. Morris, Chirbury), I\1¥Q bt the mortgagees and the present tenant (Mr Edwin Jones), applied for a renewal of the license of the Unicorn beerhouse, which was adjourned at the annual licensing sessions on September 4th on the application of Inspector Lewis on the ground of the manner in which the house was conducted and the conviction of the landlord for permitting drunken- ness, also to enable him to give the proper notice of obj action. The service of the notice, as follows, was admitted First, that you have been twice con- victed against the tenure of your license, and that, having been so convicted, you are not a fit and proper person to hold such a license. Secondly, that the house was not required in the borough of Bishops' Castle as a beer-nouse."—Mr Talbot, at the com- mencement of the proceedings, took a technical objection in the wording of the notice, which he con- tended was not in accordance with the Act of 1869. In support of his objection he quoted the case of Regina v. the Justices of Merthyr Tydvil, and held thitt, the notice being bad, the migistratea had n? alternative but to renew the license.—The magis- trates, after consulting with the clerk, held that the notice was sufficient according to the requirements of the Act of Parliament, and over-ruled the objec- tion.—Mr Talbot asked for a note in writing to be taken, so as to enable him to appeal, if, aft,r they had heard the evidence, they decided against him.- Inspector Lewis then called John Williams, ex-police sergeant, who on oath deposed that he had been stationed in Bishop's Castle since July, lS75, till he left the force in January last, during which time he had known the Unicorn beerhouse, aud that the house had not been well conducted, and the character of the people that frequented it was bad.—Mr Talbot objected to anything being said prior to the tenancy of Jones, and the Bench ruled that the evidence must be confined to Jones's tenancy.—Continuing, witness said that Jones had kept the house about one and a half year. He had not kept it well, and was fined on the licensing day twelve months ago for permitting drunkenness, Ihere had also been a robbery from the person having taken place on the premises. Three hawker women were arrested, and one convicted. He had never spoken to Jones personally upon the manner in which the house had been conducted, but had told Mrs Jones, his wife. Jones had been tenant of the house about eight or ten days at the time of the robbery. He should >ay that it had not been a well-conducted house, and that it was not required in the neighbourhood. It was in a bad state of repair, and was not adapted for a public-house.- Nothing material was eLcited in cross-examination. Sergeant Benjamin Finney stated that he had been stationed in Bihop's Ca.-tie since February last, and that during that dune the house had not been well conducted. On the 2nd o' August the conduct was very bai, the landlord wi. the worsu for drink, and had u. bLck eye, and a tramping woman and some mea were allowed to remain on the premises for hours after they Iven drunk. On the following day he was inÎormtJd tht there was no one in charge of the house (Jones's wife having left him) and on visiting the house found ihe landlord, who was I ha worse for drink, asleep in tlx parlour and on the of August be had to take a. sweep who had bedl to the Unicorn to the lockup. I'here were also lour lull-licensed houses within 16J yards. There was i o accommodation, only a smali r labrB, and the premises were in bid repair, the drains being stopped up and the collar sometimes fUll of water. He was present on September -It whe i Jones was filled 2U, and costs, <1ud the license ordered to be endorsed, for permitting drunkenness on the premises on August 2nd.-ln reply to Mr Talbot, the officer said th it his chi f ground for ••bjeotion was that Joans permitted ul. Mr Talbot addressing the Bench, said that they ha i ruled against/him on his objection, and should like an expression of opinion from chem. As to Jones's character and the case of August 2nd, if they held that Jones was not of such a character as they could renew the license to, he would not waste their timj on that point, but would take their opinion and then make another application.—The Bench said that at present the only matter before them was in reference to Jones's case a)onc-Alr Talbot asked them nut to sacrifice the property, which would be a grea.t hard- ship to the mortagees, but to renw the lie; nse on Ilia (Mr T.ilbot) giving' an undertaking that Jone-i should quit the piemises in a month, and they would and a, suitable tenant wnoshall be approved of by th, police.—Mr Botfield asked if Mr Talbot was going to call evidence as to Jones's character, and received a reply in the negative, as he (Mr Talbot) had advised him that it, was uot necessary in accordance with the uoticj given.—The magistrates then retired, and on their i e: iirn, afler a short absence, the sai. the iicense was refuted on tho ground thst the, appli- cant had failed to produce satisfactory evidence of good ehiracter.—Mr Talbot was about to make u further application, wheu the Bench said that tho license was dead, and no further proceedings could be entertained except an application at nex:. licensing meeting for a new license.—Mr Talbot intimated that they should -.ap;,eal, and the Bench fixed tbi recognizances at two sureties in .£O each.—The license of the Castle Hotel was transferred from tbe executors of the LLte Mr John li. Pooie to Mrs Poole, thtre being no opposition. WELSHPOOL COUNTY SESSIONS — I'.iONDAT. Before Capt. Mytton, Col. Harrison, and 3. Powell, I E-qra.
