The part of the fee so refunded shall bear to the whole fee the same proportion as the unexpired part of the term for which the licence was granted bears to the whole term.

No refund shall be made in respect of any period during which a licence shall have been in force.

11.-(1) Every licence may on its expiration be renewed for further periods not exceeding one year at a time.

(2) Such renewal shall be endorsed by the Secretary of the Council on the original licence, and shall be subject to the same fee as the fee prescribed by these by-laws for such licence.

12. The Council may, on sufficient cause being shown to its satis- faction and subject to such conditions as it may think fit to impose, permit the transfer of a licence to any person or for any place other than that to whom or for which the licence was issued, and thereupon the Secretary of the Council shall endorse such transfer on the licence.

13. The Council may impose such special conditions in respect of any licence as the circumstances may require.

14. If the Council is satisfied that a licence granted or transferred to any person has been lost or destroyed, or accidentally defaced, it may issue to such person a duplicate of the licence on payment of a fee of 25 cents in the case of a newspaper hawker, $1 in the case of an itinerant or native craft hawker, and $5 in the case of a steam- ships or stallholder hawker.

15. No person shall alter, deface or make any erasure on a licence, and no person shall use, or have in his possession with a view to use, a licence on which an erasure has been made, or which has been altered or defaced in any way.

16. Every licence shall specify the kind or class of goods, wares or merchandise for the sale of which the licence is granted, and no licensed hawker shall sell anything of a nature or class other than that specified in such licence.

17. When a licence has been granted to any person in respect of any place, such person shall not carry on the trade of a hawker at any other place without an appropriate licence for such place and the written approval of the Council under the hand of the Secretary of the Council.
