42:
of the Peace sat at this office
C
Yesterday for the purpose of considering the applications brought before it for Licenses to
keep Public Houses in this City
in Commencing
during the ensuing year,
on 1st December 1856 and that it
was
found necessary to adjourn the Sittings until 11 o'clock Am Wednesday next, the 19th instant, in order to take into further Consideration twenty-two applications that were presented.
I
am also instructed
to add, that the question will
also be submitted of the
advisability of altering the
Conditions of Bond heretofore
entered into by the holders of
Spirit Licenses, in so
far as the Bond relates to the closing of the
Public House on the Sabbath,
one of the
Justices holding that
in as much as unlicensed dealers
now
furnish drinks of the worst quality to the European Seamen during the Sabbath, it would be better to withdraw the restriction from the recognized dealers in
liquors.
