Benjamin Oxner and John Nankwill were prosecuted by the police for selling: at the Metropolitan Hotel without a license, the former lioeusee having left. Two members of cho Committee granted the owner a permit which the police contended could uot be done, especially as the stipendiary Magistrate had not given his certificate. Mr Martin, after taking time to consider, upheld the permit remarking ut the same time it was an anomalous state of the law which re quired a certificate to be obtained before a transfer could be granted and yet enabli a permit to be granted to the end of the year and not till the ntxt quarterly mooting, merely without evidence as to the character or fitness of the applicant.
