'Mr Lee • read a-memorial- against the granting •of theTieense from the inhabitants of * the immediate neighborhoodj stating that -the house' : had been used tempo rarily as a public-house by Mr Jlastie; ’ that -private dwellings adjoined it on each - to which it had been an

•excessive nuisance; and that it was totally unfit for a public-house. Mr -puff argued that - the reasons given were frivolous; and that the parties • who' sig&ed 5 ? the memorial were interm

The second application was by Mr A/G, Haymes for a house in Hastings- - street, almost-opposite the one abovementiohed.
