: ' No objection was offered by the Chief Constable, and the applica­ tions were grahted. . ' ' Included In the applications was one for an occasional licence from 8-30 p.m. toi 1-0 a.m. for the Co-operative Ball to be held at the King Lane Hall, to-night, Friday, and when' this came up for con­ sideration, - the Rev.
