The Sydney Morning Herald of the 5th of March 1851:
“LICENSING MEETING.
“THE Quarterly Licensing Meeting was held at the Police Office yesterday. The Justices in attendance were - The Mayor, the Police Magistrate, and Councillor Flood.
“NEW LICENSES.
“Publican’s general licenses were granted to the following individuals : -
“George John Jilks, to keep the Union Inn, Kent-street.
“John Webb, to keep the Red Bull Inn, Parramatta-street.
“James Kelly to keep the Friendship Hotel, Bathurst-street.
“Mr. NICHOLS, on behalf of some of the residents in the neighbourhood, and a a person carrying on the business of a licensed publican in the house adjoining to that for which a new license was now asked, was instructed to object that another public house was not required for the convenience of the neighbourhood.
“Mr. FLOOD was of opinion that if the house were proved to be suitable for the purpose, and if there was no objection to the applicant himself as of improper character to be entrusted with a license, the magistrates ought not to have the power of extending patronage to some by refusing licenses to others.
“The MAYOR said, that in the absence of any rule laid down by the bench for their guidance in such cases, it would be hardly right to set one up. Unless, therefore, the certificates as to the accommodation of the house and the character of the applicant were negatived by evidence, the application would be granted.
“Mr. NICHOLS was not instructed to negative either the one or the other, and the application was granted.
