VPRS 2394 Licencing Court Register

Up to 1886 registers of applications for liquor and non-liquor licences were created and maintained in local courts of petty sessions at which annual, quarterly and general sittings of justices of the peace, licensing benches or licensing magistrates occurred.Under the Licensing Act 1885 (40 Vic., No.857) Victoria was divided into Licensing Districts and Licensing Courts were constituted for each Licensing District to hear and determine liquor licence applications. The Licensing District of Kyneton (Circuit) included Kyneton, Malmsbury Carlshrue, Woodend, Taradale, Langely, Emberton, Lauriston, Tylden, Sunbury, Riddells Creek, Gisborne, Newham East, Campaspe. This series are also includes applications for the Trentham and Dalahousie Districts.The Licence Register extant for the period 1886 to 1890 often documents the transition of responsibility from the courts of petty sessions to the licensing courts. In most country areas the same volume continued to be used for liquor and non-liquor licence applications until circa 1890 when new stationery was introduced specifically for liquor licence applications. Between 1886 and 1890 the pages which record proceedings of the Licensing Court are annotated to show that they are a record of that authority.This series comprises a record of proceedings concerning licence applications. If the records document proceedings held prior to 1890, it is likely that they will include both liquor and non-liquor licence applications. If the records only document proceedings held after 1890 the applications should relate solely to non-liquor licences.Some common non-liquor licences included:- Auctioneers- Carriers- Hawkers- Stage Coach operators- Slaughterers- Real Estate Agents- Collectors.

截至1886年，共计留存有酒类与非酒类经营牌照申请登记册，该类登记册由治安法院（courts of petty sessions）创建并维护，此类法院会定期举办治安法官、牌照审议庭或牌照裁判治安官的年度、季度及常规庭审。根据1885年《牌照法（Licensing Act）》（40 Vic., No.857），维多利亚州（Victoria）被划分为若干牌照管辖区（Licensing District），并为每个管辖区设立牌照审理法院（Licensing Courts），专门审理酒类经营牌照申请事宜。基尼顿（巡回）牌照管辖区涵盖基尼顿、马姆斯伯里卡尔斯鲁厄、伍德恩德、塔拉代尔、兰利、恩伯顿、劳里斯顿、蒂尔登、桑伯里、里德尔克里克、吉斯伯恩、东纽厄姆、坎帕斯普地区。本数据集还收录了特伦瑟姆与达拉豪西地区的牌照申请相关档案。1886年至1890年留存的牌照登记册，往往记载了牌照审理职责从治安法院向专属牌照审理法院过渡的历程。在绝大多数乡村地区，同一卷宗会同时用于酒类与非酒类经营牌照申请的登记，直至1890年左右，专门针对酒类牌照申请的新式登记表单才得以启用。1886年至1890年间，记录牌照审理程序的页面均附有批注，明确其为该专属司法机构的档案记录。本数据集收录的均为与牌照申请相关的审理程序档案。若档案记载的是1890年之前的庭审程序，则大概率同时涵盖酒类与非酒类经营牌照申请记录；若仅收录1890年之后的庭审程序，则相关申请仅涉及非酒类经营牌照。常见的非酒类经营牌照类别包括：拍卖商牌照、运输商牌照、小贩牌照、驿站马车运营商牌照、屠宰商牌照、房地产经纪商牌照以及代收人牌照。
