Application by Timothy Cotter for commission to cany on the above hotel until 21st June. Mr Powmtll ;.W*V IIOTKI,. The consideration of this case was resumed. Elizabeth Janet Low deposed that slio had never allowed drunkenness on the premises. With reference to allowing spielers to congregate in tlio house, it was very difficult to tell who were spielers. She had been ■ proceeded against for supplying a prohibited person with liipior. By Sergeant McAvdlc: She remembered being told that the man ■was prohibited. She was in the opposite room. She remembered Constable Stewart arrested a man on : her promises, Tlio man was not drunk. The man was standing at the bar when he was arrested, Did not know if he was drinking. She remembered Constable Stewart and >• Sergeant McAvdle coming and niaking enquiries at the time of '!> the burglary at the Railway Station, She remembered a con- <},, . vernation with Constable Gantly about two boarders. Sho might liavo asked him not to tell the , / police. She did not say that they fi; ■ - were in bed before ten. She had re--0 . collection of two young men who % slept in her Jiouse on the night of the l'obbory of iWHasterfon Chinaman.

She jj%. liqd often been warnedabout drunks'/- eriness, but these people came from . other houses. }lr Skerrett asked to be allowed to say a few words on behalf of the L;.. owner (Mr Kibblcwhito). If the Commilteo decided that ti woman K- ; could not make a success of a house : that was frequented by rough char':l ■■ acters, it would even then not be fair to oust Mrs Low from the house. f: The fairest course would bo that the jf:,' Committee should grant the application, conditionally upon liur sell-' ing out within three months, lie would likek ask lion* the Sergeant i iff personal|™'as disposed towards % 'such an aiTangement.

Mr Powmill then rose in support of his application for eleven o'clock license for all the hotels in Masterton. _ He considered that there was nothing to be gained by closing houses ut ten. Tliey often found performances not out until considerably after ten, Again if a man wanted to get drunk, lie could do so, as well before (en as after.
