ST. BATHANS.—JuIy 14.
.. Resident Magistrate's Coubt. (Before H. A. Stratford, Esq., EI.) An application was made by Mr. W. L. Bailey for John Jones for the sanction of a transfer from Benjamin Washer to himself of a general license for the Welsh Harp Hotel, Welshman's Gully. The Magistrate informed Mr. Bailey that he had no power to act apart from the Licensing Board. That it was probable a new Licensing Act would provide for more frequent sittings, and, in the meanwhile Mr. Jones might keep an accommodation house, without the sale of liquors —in fact, a temperance hotel.—Mr. Bailey, to the Bench :' That is all Mr. Jones wants, your Worship, to keep a temperance hotel. -It may be a temperance house, and yet sell liquors.—The Bench : Perhaps, Mr. Bailey, I should hare said a total abstinence hotel. I would suggest you should explain to Mr. .Jones that: Mr. Washer's license con be of no use to him.-
Warden's Court. (Before H. A. Stratford, Esq., Warden.) John Morgan's application for an extended claim was refused, because lie and his mate, John Hughes.had only miners' rights for another claim. The applicants then took out two new miners' rights, and made a fresh application. The application of Thomas Mee to exchange his agricultural lease, No. 205 c, under the Otago Waste Lands Act, 1872, having been occupied for three, years, closely fenced, entirely cultivated, and. prospected for gold, without success, was recommended to favorable consideration by the Warden.
HaJley and Towers' application for a special- claim.—Consideration adjourned until 18th August, 1874. George Purton, on behalf of the Scandinavian Company, registered, applied for an adjournment of the Company's applica-
tion for the Last Push Channel as a special claim to the 29th July inst.,. as the district surveyor, Mr. Barron, .had not quite completed his survey. Adjourned accordingly.
John Davis, James Philips, and Thomas Rowe, complainants, against Thomas Davis, and other defendants. —For having obtained a certificate for a tail race before the notice had been posted seven clear days. Judgment confessed. Certificate cancelled accordingly, but without costs. The defendants applied afresh. *
