13. The applicant may, within fourteen days from the date of such certificate, lodge it in the Treasury together with the fee provided by Schedule P to this Ordinance, whereupon the Treasurer shall issue to him a licence in the form of Schedule I or ♫ according to the nature of the licence for which the certificate is granted, such licence to be called a public house licence in the one case, or an adjunct licence in the other.
14. Every public house or adjunct licence shall be valid only until the 30th of November next following the date on which it is granted: Always provided that where this period is less than a year a proportionate part only of the aforesaid fee shall be charged, to which ten per cent shall be added.
15. The Police Magistrates shall keep a record of all recognisances entered into under section 12, and the Trea- surer shall keep a record of all licences issued under Section 13 of this Ordinance.
16. The presiding Magistrate and Justices at their meetings hereinbefore provided for may transfer, in the form of Schedule K, any public house licence or adjunct licence to the nominee of the original holder of such licence, such nominee making like application, receiving a like certificate, and entering into like recognisances as if applying for a licence on his own behalf. But except as provided in this section no licensed publican or adjunct licensee shall abandon the occupation of his licensed house or permit any other person to become virtually or in effect the keeper thereof on pain of forfeiture of his licence, nor shall employ any unlicensed person to sell or dispose of any liquors outside of his licensed house or place of business:
17. In case of the death or insolvency of any person holding a public house licence or adjunct licence under this Ordinance, the executor, or administrator, or trustees of such licensee may carry on the business of such licensed house during six months if the licence shall have so long to run, subject to all the same regulations as the original licensee. And such executor, administrator, or trustees shall enter into new recognisances under this Ordinance.
18. The Magistrates of Police may permit the business licensed under a public house or adjunct licence to be removed to other premises if they shall be satisfied that the application to remove such business (which shall be by written memorial) may reasonably be granted. The licensee shall enter into new recognisances, and shall receive a new certificate entitling him to a new licence for the remainder of his term on payment of a fee of five dollars.
