DUNEDIN EXHIBITION LICENSE.
ATTACK ON SIR WILLIAM FOX,
(BY TELEGRAPH—SPECIAL REPORTER.
Wellington, this day. In the Council yesterday petitions were presented from Sir William Fox and Mr Joseph Newman, of Auckland, protesting against the grunting of a license to the Dunedin Exhibition. Sir George Whitmore said it was a piece oi the most utter impertinence for two men living at the extreme end of the other Island to seek to deprive any •working man in tho Southern capital of his glass of beer. Mr Pharazyn defended Sir William Fox, saying that he had done more to improve the social condition of the people than any other citizen of New Zealand.
Mr Wilson added that there was not the slightest ground for reprobating Sir William's conduct, he having merely exercised his rights as a citizen. Members and the trade here generally are jubilant over the final passage of the Triennial Licensing Bill through the Council.
