Yeend, H., Derwent Hotel, Lonsdale-street. The following were postponed.


Note 1. Felix Spiers license application was granted on the 23 April. Luckily a month before this hearing before His Honour Judge Pohlman at the County Court, on the 20 May 1856.


Note: 2 H.Wyse Golden Cross, King street; Mr. Frank Stephen supported the application
Mr. Inspector Cooke opposed the application on the ground of the general bad character of the applicant.
The charges against him were that he formerly kept a sly-grog shop, and was now
conducting a public house -the Golden Cross King street- in the name of Mr Bowern the former
landlord of the hotel.
Mr. Inspector Smith (detective force stated that he knew Wyse to be the keeper of a sly-grog shop in New South Wales. His character was very bad. He stated this from the information which had come to
his knowledge as a police officer and from personal knowlege of him
Mr. Bowern formerly landlord of the Golden Cross, was called.
Mr Stephen advised the witness not to give evidence, as his statements might tend to eliminate himself, but Mr Bowern stated that he had no reluctance to tell the truth and eventually entered the box.
Mr. Bowern then stated that he was formerly landlord of the Golden Cross Hotel,
but in consequence of the house being condemned he took the Marine Hotel, St Kilda
and sold the license of the Golden Cross to Mr Whitehead. He believed that Wyse
lent Whitehead the purchase money (?70) He owned no stock in the hotel, but from observation
believed it to be properly managed He could not say whose property was in the house. If he had not believed
Wyse to be a respectable person he should not have allowed his name to be left over the door.
Cross-examined: He did not appear to obtain the magistrates consent to a transfer of the license.
He sold it openly, and obtained another license for another house. His name was over the door
up to the annual licensing day.

Mr Frank Stephen produced testimonials of Wyse's good character from Beechworth, signed by Mr Cameron, M L C, and several magistrates and other persons; also from several of the wine and spirit merchants of the city, and numerous others from other places.

The Bench granted the application.

a case of my magistrates trump your coppers.




Lithograph by Clarence Woodhouse 1852-1931, below, shows The Pier Hotel at Frankston owned by Mark Young with Young's Baths in the background. The Colonial Bank of Australasia is to the right of the image. A coach and horses careers down the street in front of the hotel, watched by five men on horses. The bay is visible behind the hotel, with a steamer and yachts on a calm sea.
It isn't dated, but it is 1888, well after the licenses above were granted.

Many of the publicans recorded on this list you will find recounted here on Familytreecitcles.com within the many journals of local historian itellya

Many, many of the hotels listed above are still doing business

by tonkin on 2012-02-03 02:34:54

One can see a lot of history through the bottom of a Pot, but one needs to do a pub crawl to learn these things.

If pub walls could talk ...

by janilye on 2012-02-03 05:47:33

I hope they don't talk about me tonkin.
There has got to be more pubs than what's up there. What about Port Melbourne it was called Sandridge and there is only 1 hotel up there, What about the Exchange that opened in 1850. And South Melbourne (Emerald Hill) and Williamstown.
Wouldn't they have been under Melbourne Districts? what would they have come under? itellya?
I went on a pub crawl for a hen's night, there were 10 of us, back in 1980, in Brunswick St., and there were 23 pubs in that Street, Yes! I remember them all. Not all were old pubs but a lot of them were.
Any clues anyone?

by janilye on 2012-02-03 06:07:36

I found this in RootsWeb Publican Index of 19th Century Victoria
It's not specific to 1856 but a good guide to publicans in general

by janilye on 2012-02-03 06:10:08

actually it's a lot better than my amateur attempt

by tonkin on 2012-02-03 06:24:54

Intersting what you say about the old pubs Janilye.

Sandridge was a busy place in the early years and there must have been more than one watering hole. I had a family member with a pub there somewhere around 1890 I think, but I don't think the name of the pub was mentioned in the Will. Will have to find the Will and follow up.

by janilye on 2012-02-03 06:31:56

Have you ever walked the Sandridge rail track along by the Yarra which goes from the City down to the bay.

by tonkin on 2012-02-03 06:36:17

Not all of it.
