An interesting relic of tho early days of New Plymouth was- found last week by the workmen engaged on the alterations and repairs to the Soldiers* Clab building in King street. On faded blue paper was an application addressed to "The worshipful justices of tho peace in and for the district of New Plymouth in New Zealand," by Caroline Foote for a publican's license for the Ship Hotel in Devon street. The application was dated April 6th, 1363, and it saya much for the old-time makers of ink that the writing is still plainly legible. The relic has been presented to the Early Colonists' Museum.
