ASHBURTON.
Tuesday. At the sitting of the quarterly licensing Court to-day, an important question arose when the qase of the Railway Hotel, South Kakaia, was brought before the Court. It appears that the present occupant of the house (Wallace) has sent in no application. The original licensee (Grant) had sold the house to Devery, who at the time obtained a temporary transfer of the license till to-day (3rd December). Not long after Devery became possessor of the house and premises he sold his interest in the business to Wallace, and the question, as the Court took it, arising out of these circumstances was whether t!ie. house should be closed forthwith, or whether the original license still remained good. The Bench considered that the original license still existed, but that no one except Grant, or some one especially authorised by him, could continue to csrry on the business of the house. Anyone who should continue to sell liquors in the house would have to do so at bis own risk.
