Mr Watt, Treasure, refused to issue a liquor license for Edgarton, near Wonthagg, Victoria. The matter was taken to the Court, and a mandamus calling on him to issue a license was obtained. Mr Watt still refuses, on the ground of high public policy. He does not think that the judge can compell him to issue a license. Thß underwriters have paid £750.000 insurance on the bullion, totalling a million slorling, which sank with the P. and »\ Ptoamer Oceana. This is the promptest settlement on record for so k*. =.o a sum.
