ISITT ON PROHIBITION.
[Per Press Association.]
New Plymouth, July 11
F. W. Isitt addressed a large meeting at the Theatre Royal last night on licensing matters. He first dealt with the recent remarks of Mr Stanford, S.M., sitting as a licensing committee in relation to the application cf the license for Hotel Commonwealth. A resolution was carried to the effect that the granting of that licence was extremely unsatisfactory and the statement of the S.M. that strenuous efforts had been made by underhand and illegitimate means to'effect his judiciation were so serious that a searching judicial enquiry should be made and Government be asked to take immediate steps for an enquiry, providing it created no interference with the Supreme Court proceedings. Mr Isitt then addressed the meeting on the subject of licenses in the King country, contending that the bargain made at the opening of the King country that no liquor should be introduced should be adhered to. He paid a tribute to Natives and denounced the Auckland liquor merchants. A resolution was carried protesting against the introduction of licenses into the King country.
