CITY LICENSING COMMITTEE.

Last week the quarterly meeting of the Auckland City Licensing Committee was held. Mr R. W. Dyer, S.M., presided, and there were with him on the Bench, Messrs A. Rosser, Graves Aickin, and W. J. Rees. An apology for absence was received from Mr P. Cheal. TRANSFERS. There being no objections on the part of the police, the following transfers were granted:—Criterion Hotel, Albert-street, from Rob rt John Ware to David Morrison; Alexandra Hotel, Federal-street, from Jules Vollemaere to John Shields; Naval and Family Hotel, Karangahape Road, from Thomas J. W. Buxton to David Norden; Globe Hotel, Wakefield-street, from William George Smith to Frederick Thomas Lipscomb e; Royal Hotel, Victoria-street, from John Morrison to William Woodward ; and the Metropolitan Hotel, Queenstreet, from Lindsay Cooke to John Morrison. STAR HOTEL, NEWTON. At the annual meeting of the committee, the police had been directed to keep the Star Hotel, Newton, under surveillance. Sergeant Sheehan, reporting to the Bench, said no complaints had since been received, and so far the hotel was orderly, and no signs of drunkenness or disorder about the premises were visible, while the conduct of the hotel was generally satisfactory. The Chairman remarked that in view of the report, there would be no need to keep the house under further surveillance. It was mentioned that a transfer in connection with this hotel would probably be applied for at next meeting of the committee.
