The plans were produced, and the Bench granted the certificato for the licence, provided the building is Gnished ■to_ fulfil thorequii-ementsof the Act.—The next, case was for a licence for an old house at Panmure, to be removed' to a new building owned by the same party. Mr. Sheehan'appeared to support the application. The difficulty aroso from the fact that.the applicant had not strictly complied with the require-1" ments of the. new Act. As the casa was mo9t peculiar, ho therefore applied fora renewal of his licence, pending the notification tkat he wanted to. l'empve the licence to a new and better house.' Mr. Brookfiold appeared1' to oppose tlie application, not to gr/mting the old licence, but to granting what this application wins-, namely/for it licence for a new house altogether, and he contended that the Bench had no power to grant a transfer from one house to another ualess in case of destruction by fire.—;The,Jßench refused the application, but' directed the certificate to issue, for the old premises.
