; : At yesterday's meeting of the Licensing Committee Constable Butler submitted a supplementary report upon one of the Makotuku hotels, in, which he stated that.tlie licensee was misconducting himself, and was unfit to hold a license. By Ibme strange mistake his report mentioned that it- was the Makotuku hotel in which this misconduct was taking place, whereas' it should have been the Beaconsfield hotel. No one at the meeting noticed the error/and con T sequently our report followed the lines of the discussion, in which the name of the Beaconsfield hotel was never mentioned. ,We very much regret that to this extent our report did riot accurately represent the facts, but under the circumstances the blame can scarcely be held to be ours.
