At the annual licensing meeting to-day the Committee refused to renew a license to Twentyman Wilson for the Melville Hotel, on the facts disclosed by the police that he made a statement at the police station implicating a constable in a row in the house. Afterwards, at an inquiry by an Inspector, he signed a statement that the former one waa untrue, and made to injure the constable. He also swore in the Resident Magistrate's Conrt that the first statement was untrue. The Committee, accepting the admission that the statement was made to injure the constable, considered it a bad case, and gave twentyone days' adjournment to allow thelicenßee to Bell out and for a new applicant to be put forward. The Committee had previously notified the holders of two hotels that new buildings must be erected or their licenses refused. This threat was withdrawn to-day, the Committee admitting, the business would not justify such an. expenditure.
