for a further period of four weeks to enable the applicants
to satisfy your Board. At the adjourned hearing on December

Board withdrew your opposition, and the license was granted.
The hearing of the remaining three applications was again adjourned
until January 6th, because your notices had not been complied
with, and because your Board still opposed the licenses being
granted. The Bench requested Sir Henry Gordon, one of the
Justices, tovisit with me the premises at 100, Wharf Road, and decide
as to what ought to be done before a license should be granted
Sir Henry Gordon decided that the whole of the surface of the
yard should be taken up, and the yard should be properly paved
and drained. A notice as to the requirements, signed by Sir
Henry Gordon, was at once served upon the applicant. At the
adjourned hearing on January 6th one applicant did not apply,
and the license was, therefore, not granted. In the case at 100,

requirements had been complied with, your Board withdrew your
opposition, and the license was granted.
