That power be conferred on the Governor to issue, with advice of Council, Licenses free of Duty, to persons proposing to keep Public Houses in certain situations: or to construct certain public works at their own expense.

That the duration of such License shall not continue or be in Force for any longer period than twelve calendar Months, and shall not be granted to any person without first obtaining and producing a Certificate signed by two Magistrates of the said Colony.

Hall v. Leake. This case was ordered to stand over for discussion upon the points of law until next court day.

Keats v. Smith. Mr. Clark opened the case.

Thomas, Mr. Butler who appeared for the Defendant, handed in a receipt which was given at the time of settlement. The Commissioner remarked, that the nature of the defence, was exceedingly unsatisfactory, and he was surprised that the Defendant should stake his reputation upon, the production of a receipt, which
