Licensing Court.
TUESDAY, JUNE 19.
(Before the P.M., and Messrs. H. McKENZIE, and John MONAGHAN, L.M.'s)
Jonathan VINCENT applied for a renewal of the license of the Pioneer Hotel, Kangaroo Valley. Mr. TRENCH for applicant, who deposed that in 1898 he purchased the hotel property, previous to that for about two years he paid £2 10s rent for the property, the way business was now he thought £2 a week would be a fair rent; he would be prepared to accept £2 a week if he wished to let the hotel; the bulk of the trade was with travellers.
Senior sergeant CRAWLEY, in reply to the Bench, said he would consider a fair rent for the hotel £3 a week. To Mr. TRENCH, he said he had never kept a hotel; he arrived at his estimate of the rental value from his opinion formed on what he saw of the trade there.
Mr. TRENCH asked that the license fee be fixed at £20.
Application granted; license fee fixed at £25 per annum.
