“GOULBURN.
“PUBLICANS’ LICENSES. - Yesterday, the Justices in Petty Sessions assembled granted the following licenses for the town of Goulburn, viz. : - To George Dunn, D. Duigan, S. Moses, N. Mandleson, A. Newman, J. O’Brien, D. Ross, W. Simons, J. J. Woodward, F. Webster, Henry Wilson, Samuel Eirth [Firth ?], and D. M’Keller. A. M’Donald applied for a license to the house known as the Caledonian Hotel, but being too late in his application, he was advised as to what course to adopt. Henry Greig and J. Jacobs had confectioner’s licenses granted for Goulburn. The following country licenses were granted, viz. : - J. Armstrong, Bungonia; E. Hughes, Bungonia; T. Taylor, Bungonia; Thomas Brown, Wingello; W. Champion, Shelley Flats; J. Fletcher, Bredalbane Plains; P. Poidvien, Collector; W. Wood, Towrang; Thomas Whealand, Marulan; Joseph Peters, Marulan; W. Pettey, Collector; J. Woodfield, Boro. G. Evans, of Kangoola, we understood, was advised, on account of being too late in his application to apply to the authorities provided in such cases. The following two applications were refused : - J. Wade, of Marulan, for living in an immoral state, and G. Hart, of the same place. The reason for refusing it in this case was stated by Captain Hovell, the presiding magistrate, who said that on Monday last, when the applicant appeared as plaintiff in the Court of Requests, he swore to the date of entry of certain articles furnished to the defendant; the case was about to be closed, when he (Captain Hovell) discovered that the date of 1847 had been altered to 1848, and that on account of this, instead of being on the floor of the Court applying for a license, he considered he (Hart) ought to have been in the gaol; and if he (Captain Hovell) had been more collected at the time he made the discovery, he certainly, would have been there.”
