NEW LICENSES.
Christchurch, Juuo 7.
All applications for new licenses at the annual meeting of the Court to day were refused, except one at Sumner which was held over for a fortnight. One of the applications was for Sydenham, from which, as usual, there was strong opposition. So strenuous is the objection of the inhabitants of this borough to public-houses that only one license has been granted since it became a municipality, and at the present moment there are only three hotels in it altogether, though the population numbers 8500. The Bench expressed a strong opinion about the manner in which the Iticcarton Hotel was conducted. A case of gambling recently came before the .Resident Magistrate’s Court in which it was shown that a man lost a horse and dray which did not belong to him, to one of the proprietor’s sons. The application for renewal was adjourned for a fortnight.
