There were Three applications for new licenses, namely, by Joseph Sutton, for the "Hollybush Tavern," Perryfields; by William Thomas Roffe, for the "Brewers Arms," recently opened in Wyatt-street, and by William Brewster, of the "British Queen," Sandling-road. Mr. Monckton appeared for Mr. Roffe and Mr. Brewster. The application for the "British Queen" was to stand over for another year. There being no opposition to the "Hollybush" and the "Brewer's Arms," both applications were granted.
