Wednesday, August 26th: Before The Mayor, Captain Kennicott, and Alderman Tolputt.
The licensing day was held at the Town Hall on Wednesday.
Fresh Applications: (Note: These appear to be for Spirit licenses)
R.P. Smith, of the Marquis Of Granby, High Street, applied for a license for his house.
Mr. Minter called the attention of the Bench to the fact that at Liverpool the magistrates granted licenses to every respectable applicant, and the houses there were of a good class and character. He did not think this ought to be a question of necessity, but one of respectability.
After a short consultation, the Mayor stated that the magistrates were unanimous in refusing the applications. They did not see any necessity in any of the applications made, and they wished it to be understood that they will not grant licenses without the necessity is shown.
Note: Smith is not listed in More Bastions
