ings on the south side of Little Pulteney Street. The
consideration on the part of the Vestry is payment of £300
and a covenant to carry out the necessary paving works.
Some opposition was manifested to the transfer of the
licence to the new premises, and the Vestry therefore
decided to petition the Licensing Justices in favour of the
transfer, on the ground that if the application were
refused a much-needed street improvement would be
indefinitely delayed, while the number of licensed houses
would not be diminished, inasmuch as the "Round

The licence to the proposed new premises was granted
on the 18th March, and the improvement will probably be
completed before next winter.
