In reference to the fees, it was suggested that they be reduced £10, or that the £50 cover the fee for an extra bar. It was also decided to endeavor to have a clause relating to Sunday hours inserted. Information having been received that medical assistance was required at the Brothers lighthouse, the Government Stella was despatched there. She has now returned, bringing a man named Davis, who is suffering from a sprained knee. A deputation of Wellington licensed victuallers waited on the city members to-day urging them to endeavor to have the Licensing Bill thrown out. Messrs Hutchinson and Levin replied that, while they agreed that several amendments were necessary, the bill was a right one in principle, and if thrown out would be prejudicial to the interests of the publicans.
