LICENSING DAY.-The Police Magistrate and Dr. Ballow sat in Petty Sessions on Tuesday last, for the,purpose,of granting licensing certificates. A new license was granted for Maryborough, to Mr. Thomas Ricketts; Who had obtained a recommendary certificate from Mr. Bidwell, the Commissioner of Crown Lands at Wide Bay. In considering the application of Mr. Grenier, of South Brisbane, the Police Magistrate stated that many complaints had reached him of the manner in which Mr. Grenier's house was conducted. The parties who had given him this information had promised to appear in open Court and substantiate it ; and it was somewhat surprising to him that they had not done so, as they surely could not expect that much weight would be attached to private whisperings of this sort, which an accuser would not repeat in public. For this reason-although he had some cause to believe the statements made to him-he should not refuse Mr. Grenier's certificate; for the Bench would always desire that these complaints should be made face to face. We hope that this praisewoithy principle will never be departed from, for no man's interest or reputation would be safe were private accusations permitted to have any weight. In granting Mr.
M'Cabe's certificate, the Bench expressed much satisfaction at the condition of his house, and the preparations which were in progress for the accommodation of the public. A similar intimation was made to Mr. Sutton of Kangaroo Point. In some other cases it was intimated that the houses for which licenses were sought, did not afford such accommodations as the increased importance of the town demanded, but the applications would not be refused on this occasion.

The following is a list of the licenses granted:-John Smith, North Brisbane, publican's general license ; William Wilson, ditto, ditto ; James Powers, ditto, ditto ; William Sheehan, ditto, ditto; John Bruce, ditto,
