Morning Star Hotel
One indication that women did not feel victimised by authorities is that they regularly took their grievances to court, often litigating against other female publicans if needs be. When Miss Mary Meagher applied for a new licence to build the Morning Star Hotel in the outer metropolitan district or Doncaster in 1872, she found Mary Ogilvie, licensee of the Long Hill Hotel, had lodged an objection. The proposed licensed premises were to be built 'a few yards from the Toll gate at which Miss Meagher helps her father collect the tolls'. Evidently, Mary Ogilvie was anxious that her own business would be affected by the competition.

On the Doncaster side of the creek were the remains of the Morning Star Hotel (delicensed in 1917). The roof was gone but the walls were quite solid and there was an old horsehair divan in one of the rooms. The Morning Star Foundry was built on the site in the late 1940s.

DISTRICT HOTELS TO BE CLOSED.
Among the deprivation determinations announced by the licenses reduction board on Monday, June 11. The following district hotels are to lose their licenses: Burnt Bridge. Ringwood; Morning Star. Doncaster; Tower, Doncaster; Hill, Mitcham, and Boundary, near Burwood, in the Nunawading division. It was stated by the board that two recent developments had caused a change in the public demand and in tho local volume of trade. By increasing the distance to be travelled from 10 miles to 20 miles on Sundays, parliament hit heavily a number of hotels in the outer suburbs. In the districts further out, the new roads constructed by the country roads beard are so immeasurably superior to the old ones that traffic is being largely diverted to them. A number of hotels on the old routes, had therefore lost their utility, and the court had decided to close several of that type. All of the deprivations effected in these sittings were of hotels which last year could not be touched.
