The Short Title of this Act shall be “The Licensing Amendment Act, 1875.”

The proviso to the thirteenth section of “The Licensing Act 1873 Amendment, Act, 1874,” is hereby repealed, and in lieu thereof it is provided that no Court shall grant a license to any applicant at any such meeting if such applicant or any person in his behalf or in his interest has at any previous licensing meeting (whether within the same district or in any other district) been refused a license on the ground that such applicant or such person as aforesaid was an unsuitable person to hold a license under the said Act.

Notwithstanding anything contained in “The Licensing Act 1873 Amendment Act, 1874,” no wholesale license or brewer’s license shall be issued to any person by any Provincial Treasurer or any other person under the tenth section of the said Act, to take effect within the respective districts defined under the said Act and mentioned in the Schedule hereto, or in any other district which may hereafter be defined in lieu of or in substitution for the districts mentioned in the said Schedule, unless the issue of such license shall first have been approved of by the Licensing Court having jurisdiction at the place or places where it is intended such license shall take effect.

The production of a certificate in writing under the hand of the Chairman of such Licensing Court as aforesaid, to the effect that such Court approves of the issue of the license therein mentioned to the person to be named therein, shall be sufficient evidence that the Court approves of the issue of such license.

Any holder of a license refusing either personally or through any one acting on his behalf, except for some valid reason, to supply lodging, meals, or accommodation to travellers, or supplying intoxicating liquors to a person already in a state of intoxication, shall for each offence beliable on conviction to forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding ten pounds.
