ARCHDEACON STOCK AND THE LICENSING COURT.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE NSW ZEALAND TIMES.
Silt, —In one of your evening contemporaries on Saturday night appears a letter from the "Yen, Archdeacon Stock, which, however conscientiously written, is (he must I think admit on reflection), a patent attempt to prejudice the decision of a court of justice. It Beems the Archdeacon and another gentleman have been canvassing the neighborhood of the Princess Theatre Hotel, in order to get up a petition against 'the granting of a license for the house. This they had a perfect right to do. But according to! their own evidence they found the neighborhood pretty unanimous iu wishing that theeuterprise'of those who built so creditable a place as the hotel under notice should be encouraged, and a license granted. Then, sir, in the face of this, Archdeacon Stock writes and tries to cram his individual opinion down the throat of a neighborhood, and at the same time to make the Licensing Commissioners give their decision according to the dictates of himself and some other worthy, though perhaps prejudiced gentleman.—l am. &e., Fair Plat.
