PETTY SESSIONS. Bromley, 2nd September, 1861.

Innkeepers Licenses.

Present, J. Chapman, Esq. Chairman, Colonel Cator, R. Boyd, Coles Child, R. Berens, J. Fortesque, W. Warwick, and C. L. Wilson, Esqrs.

Mr. Crawford, barrister, instructed by Mr. Bristow, Greenwich, supported the application of John Job James for a license to a house now in the course of erection close to the railway station, Bromley. Mr. Gibson, who opposed, took a preliminary objection, from the words used by Mr. Crawford, who said that it was a "house then building." The Act expressly stated that the license should be for a "house," but this application was made when there was scarcely the carcase of one, the door having been merely put up for the purpose of posting the notice. The bench held this objection to be fatal.
