GOVERNMENT NOTICE
Colonial Secretary's Office
Perth, 20th March, 1833,
His Honor the Lieutenant Governor has been pleased to direct the Publication of the general Objects of the following Bill, now under the consideration of the Legislative Council.
"An Act to enable the Governor or other Officer administering the Government of Western Australia, to grant exemptions from the payment of License Duty under special circumstances."
WHEREAS by an Act of the Governor and Council (No. 8) of the second year of His present Majesty, intituled "An Act to regulate the sale of spiritous and fermented Liquors by Retail:" it is enacted, that all Publicans in any part of the Colony of Western Australia shall pay to the use of His Majesty &c. certain yearly Duties therein mentioned, and no Provision is therein made for exempting Publicans under any circumstances from such payment; AND whereas it appears expedient for the Public convenience, and probably conducive to the ultimate increase of His Majesty's Revenue in the said Colony that the erection or opening of Houses for the shelter and refreshment of Travellers in certain remote, and thinly peopled Districts or Thoroughfares, and the formation and repair of Roads without expense to the public, should be encouraged by granting such Exemptions as aforesaid, it is proposed
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.
That on Violation of the conditions upon which such License shall be granted the same shall be forfeited.
By His Honor's Command,

Before G. F. Moore, Esq., Civil Commissioner

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. Various transactions had passed between the Plaintiff and the Defendant, and on the 28th December a balance was struck, the Defendant engaging to rectify any errors which might be discovered. It had subsequently been found out that sums had been received, for which the Plaintiff had not had credit. Johnson who was present at the settlement, deposed to this effect, which was further corrobated by the testimony of J. 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
