The Licensing District of Wairau

The Licensing District of Wairau is, like other licensing districts throughout the colony, coterminous with the parliamentary electorate. The licensing committees are elected for a term of three years, and they hold their meetings quarterly, when matters affecting the licenses of the district —such as renewals, transfers, or removals—are adjusted. The members of the Wairau Licensing Committee are: Messrs T. Scott-Smith, Stipendiary Magistrate (chairman), H. C. Seymour, H. D. Vavasour, W. Ching, W. P. Simmonds, and J. T. Griffin. The meetings of the committee are held at the courthouse, Blenheim. There are eight hotels in Blenheim, and the hour of closing is eleven o'clock.
