Before the Sandwich Bench of Magistrates, on Monday, when there were present R. Harrison, sen, J. L. Drayson, J. Dorman, and R. L. Harrison, Esqs.

From the Kent and Sussex Courier, 10 October, 1873.

RAMSGATE. Closing of Public Houses.

Some confusion has arisen as to when the extension of time granted by the magistrates comes into operation. Supt. Buss contends that the Mayor of Sandwich distinctly told him not until 1874. However, a notice which has just been served upon all publicans leads to an opposite conclusion, which says, "One month from the date of this order." The order bears date September 1873. The extension given was, it will be remembered, until twelve o’clock every night from the 15th June to the 15th October, excepting Saturday, which was to be 11.45; Sunday to remain at 10.
