Carnarvonshire Qu arte r Sessions. Hearing- of Licensing Appeals. Justices' Decisions Reversed. THE Carnarvonshire Quarter Sessions held a special adjourned' sitting on Wednesday at Car- narvon to hear appeals in a large number of licensing case:?. Altogether there-were 27 ap- peal cases. There were iS magistrates on the Bench, with the Lc-rd Lieutenant, Mr J. E. Greaves, as chairman. The .well of the court was crowded with counsel, a number of 'barristers having been specially retained for the occasion, Messrs Chamberlain and Johnson, of Llandudno, hav- ing briefed six counsel far the appeals from the Conway -division. By arrangement, the Conway division cases were taken first, a large number of public men from Conway and Llandudno being in court prepared to give evidence in one or otiv. •• of the appeals. In all the Conway division cases Mr Ellis J. Griffith, M.P. (instructed by Mr J. Por- ter, Conway), appeared for the respondent magistrates. The Gresham Hotel, Uandudno. The first case taken was that of the Gresham Hotel, Llandudno. Mr Hemmerde, with whom was 'Mr David Williams, Bangor, now making his first appearance at Quarter Sessions (in- structed by Messrs Chambedain and1 Johnson), appeared for the appellants. Mr IE. J. Griffith, opening the case 'for the magistrates, said the licence had been refused by the twelve magistrates sitting for the Con- way division after a personal tour of inspection to all the licensed premises in the division. Mr Hemmerde, addressing the 'court, said ot was very desirable there should be an element of continuity of policy on the part of licensing benches. He said the speeches of the Lord Chancellor and the Prime Minister showed that .the idea of compensation to licensees who lost their licences through no fault of their own was in the air. He held that the justices shbuM, pending the final settlement of the question of compensation, renew the licence unless 'there was overwhelming 'evidence against it. He contrasted the action of the justices in this case with that of the Farn'ham justices, where all licence-holders appeared' before the magis- trates. Not having heard every licence-holder in the division, their selecting any one c-r any number of the licences for withdrawal of the licence would be acting, not judicially, but making a capricious selection in their .adminis- trative capacity. He asked the court, if they decided against him, to grant a case for a cl higher court. Mr Ellis J. Griffith having addressed the court, the magistrates retired, and after an ab- sence QJ twenty minutes, The Chairman announced' that the magis- trates had decided to grant the appeal. Red Lion Inn, Conway. Mr Ellis J. Griffith (instructed by Mr Por- ter) again opened on behalf of the Conway magistrates as respondents, and Mr 1<\ E. Smith (Liverpool), with whom was Mr David Williams (Bangor), instructed by 'Messrs Chamberlain and Johnson, for the. appellants in the case of the 1-ledt Lien Inn, 'Conway. The court upheld the decision of the magis- trates and dismissed, the .appeal. The Liverpool Arms, Conway. Mr Ellis J. Griffith, instructed as before, ap- pealed for the Conway magistrates, and Mr Trevor Lloyd, instructed by Messrs Chamber- lain and Johnson, for the appellant, the licen- see of the Liverpool Arms, Conway. The ground's of objection were .that the house was unnecessary and difficult of police supervision. M[r Ellis J. Griffith said the district was over- stocked with public-houses, there being several adjoining one another. This was only a drink- ing-house. Mr Trevor Lloyd argued that the house was well conducted1 an'c] suitable for the fishermen who used it. He called evidence on behalf of the 'appellant. The court decided to hear the other Conway cashes before coming to a determination upon this. Black Horse, Conway. In the case of the Black Horse, Conway, the same counsel .appeared as1 in that of the Red Lion, the ground's of objection being the ab- sence of accommodation and the fact that the house was not required. Evidencefcr the respondents was given by Mr J. P. Giriffith, who resiÔes next door to the Black Horse, and Dr Morgan, who said that he supported the local bench in all the .objections they had taken at 'Conway. Nothing was said.. as to the conduct of the house. The licensee, Andrew Gillies, 'said that the house wa's largely patronised by Volunteers during the encampment, and that be had ac- commodation for visitors. Mir F. E. Smith, for the appellant, com- plained that pressure had been laid! by the other side upon the. fact that the house was o.wned by a firm, who owned seven other houses in the same: town, and contended that such an argument should have ,no influence with t'he ,Bench in deciding upon individual cases. White Horse. An appeal was made in the case of the White Horse, Conway, which Mr E. J. Griffith said was in the midsft of a cluster of licensed houses, four of which belonged to Mlessr", Ind. Coops and Co. Mir Trevor Lloyd (instructed 'by M'essrs Cham- berlain andi Johnson) appeared for t'he appel- lant. Erskine Arms. 'Mr Trevor Lloyd applied far the licence of the Erskine "Arms 'Hotel, Conway, and. Mr E. J. Griffith on behalf of responding magistrates, ■objected, stating that the objection was not to ,the hotel as such, but to a vaults which be- longed to the hotel, and was situated across the street wholly separated from the main house. Magistrates' Decision. The appeals in respect to the .Black Horse and the White Horse were dismissed, and that of the Liverpool Arms allowed. As to the Firskine Arms, the appeal was allowed as far as the house was concerned, but this must not apply to the vaults. The last cases on the Conway list were those of the Farmers.1' Arms, Tywyn, and the Forest- ers' Arms, Gyffin, Mr Montgomery -appearing for the appellants and Mr E. J. Griffith for the responding magistrates. The licence of the first
