Mr. Hooper again came to the rescue. He did not think jan adjouroment was neces- sary; neither did he see the reason why the Justices should be summoned again. At home it was customary to grant the permit until the old premises were put is a proper condition.
Mr. M. J. D. Stephens (for the applicant) sald that the old promises were only underrepair and would be ready for occupation by the end of this month. The applicant only wanted the licence for a few days until his former premises were in a habitable condition again. His client's "licence bad not expired and he was called upon, to remove suddenly, owing, as the Justices know, to the dangerous condition of the house. Therefore, he went 78, Queen's Road Central Let him reinaia there," Mr. Step- bene pleaded, "until. bis - old premises are ready."

Mr. Hooper stated that the application could be granted for that period.
Mr. Stephens-We are only going to stay there a few days. It is only for a temporary purpose. My client has been put to a good deal of expense he had to pay for in house and the Justices should take that into consideration. The house was kept orderly and there could be no objection coming.
The Chairman said that Mr. Oliver opposed the granting of the application,
Mr. Stephens-I don't think that Mrs. Oliver bas such a control over that part of the town to make any objections, it may be that one of these days she will make a claim against the Governor.
