Thanks to Wes Cross for the following!

I thought this was quite a find. It's from the Bathurst Courier( March 1, 1839, page 4) 
and is a complete list of licenses in the Bathurst District as of Feb 1, 1839. 
This includes inns, stills and shops by type of license and township. 
Some very familiar pioneer names appear.
