"In the case of St. George's Hotel. Portland-street, Superintendent Phillips gave evidence that the house was not required, and was cross-examined by Mr. A. J. Hughes. Miss Brown, the licensee, gave evidence in support of her application for the renewal of the licence. She produced figures to show that' during the past three months her trade had increased four-fold compared with the corresponding period last year. She had established a business connection with visitors, and accommodation was provided in the house for thirty people. If she had anticipated opposition she would not have relinquished other business and invested her capital in the St George's.—By the Chief Constable: She knew there had been five tenants in three years, and the trade was practically gone. " Licence renewed. CN 6 March 1914
