p—^—^M^—^pm There was a sitting of the Licensing Bench yesterday, when the chairman (Mr Beyell, E.M.), and Me?srs Brennan, Trennery, aud Tilbvook, Esqs., Commissioners, presiJed. William Beckham applied for a new license for premises at Black's Point. It was virtually an application for renewal, but the license was refused at the previous sitting through failure of the applicant to lay the facts of the ca?e before the Court. Mr Lynch ap« peared for the applicant, and fully explained the ground upon which he relied. The Chairman said it was wholly the fault of the applicant that the refusal bud been made at the previous sitting. Now, however, that the frets had been made known, the license would be gfanted. A permanent trans f er of license was granted from Jnmes Wilson. Boatman's, to Eobert Dash of the same place, as also one from Patrick Monahan to Mrs Allen. The Chairman remarked that it had come to the knowledge of the Bench tb:it certain publicans jn the district were in the habit of permitting youths to frequent their houses and nngnge in card-playing, not only on week days after houvs, but also on Sun' days. He could owly say that the fi«-sf: case of the kind proven would be met by the immediate cancellation of the delinquent's license. It was a scandalous proceeding which the Bench would suppress in the mosl exemplary manner. Several crimi-ial assnalt cases were set down for hearing in the Magistrate's Court, ypslerdny, hut as is usually the case with such ' charges reflection leads to reconcilalion, and the informations were withdrawn. The Feep-it-Dark Company yesterday, applied in the Warden's Court for a by«wash site at Crushington. The applicationl was ppnosed by Mr T. Collins, on behalf of the 6em Company, on the ground that the area waj^ included'witfcin the lease already applied for by objector. After bearing evidence, theJ Warden granted the application Bubjept tg j any right; acquired l»y the Gem Ct^BmbM upon the 'granting of this lease. . \Jjj^^^^k •' The *?sault casts of Tisse,tirjjjj^^^^H Garrlner v.

Lnst Wednesday's Wellington Post says .— •It is believed thai; Te Whiti is acting on ptivate information received from Wellington (sources being vehemently suspected, although it would not be judicious even to hint at its direction) to the effect that Government have spent nearly all their money, and that therefore if he continues his present plan of action he must be victorious iv the end.' lam in a posilion to state positively and on authority the Government has for considerable time past been extremely suspicious of a certain person. The existence of direct constant communication between spie9 in Wellington and ParibaU ia perfectly well laown, but it would probably be difficult to absolutely pvore in a Court of Jaw, unless letters could be intercepted, and the handwriting positively identified.
