Insolvents.
Frederick Joseph Edgcombe, licensed victualler, of Sheerness, was
opposed by Mr. Sargood, for Sir Henry Meux and Co. The
opposition was merely to obtain possession of the house and
licences, which the insolvent refused to give, on the grounds that
the
rent was regularly paid, and whilst it continue to be paid he would
not give up possession until he hade received a regular notice.
Mr. Morgan, the insolvent's solicitor, advised him to take a
conditional charge on giving up the premises.
The insolvent said he would leave it altogether in the hands of his
Honour.
His Honour said he could not advise him; he was there to adjudicate
upon the case.
A long discussion then ensued, and ultimately the insolvent was
ordered to be discharged, conditionally on filing the licenses in
court, and giving up possession to the opposing creditors. If not
done within three weeks Mr. Sargood to have permission to oppose at
the next court date. |

SITTINGBOURNE PETTY SESSIONS. Monday, Nov. 15. (Before Dr. Poore.)
CAUTION TO OVERSEERS AND BEERSELLERS.
Charles Adsley and James Anstey, beershop-keepers, severally appeared on
summons taken out by the chief constable of Sheerness, at the instance
of one of the overseers of the parish, charged with "obtaining licenses
to retail beer under false certificates." Mr. Large, supervisor, proved
the granting of the licenses to each of the defendants, on the 23d of
Oct. On that occasion they produced certificates to the effect that they
were rated at about £11 10s., the sum required under the Acts 3 and 4
Vic. cap. 61, sec. 18, to render them eligible for licenses. Mr. Burley,
overseer, stated that under the act the certificates should be signed by
six ratepayers as to the character of the applicants, and signed by one
of the overseers, as to the rating. He produced his rate-book, and
proved that the defendants were not rated at a sum sufficient to meet
the requirements of the act, and that several of the persons whose names
were attached to the certificates were not rated as required. The
certificates were signed by the senior overseer, Amos Cheeseman. Defendants said that what they were now rated at would have been
sufficient, but that the last rate had not been signed by the
magistrates. The Bench had no option but to convict, and each were fined
£18 and costs, £3 8s. 8d., and disqualified from again holding a
license. |
