From the Sussex Agricultural Express, Saturday 16 April 1892.

Refusing to quit.

Thomas Fullman Jessop was charged with being quarrelsome and refusing to quit the licensed premises of the "Elm Tree," Ryarsh, on March 11th.

Mr. R. T. Tatham prosecuted, and defendant was represented by Mr. A. J. Ellis.

Mr. Tatham, in opening the case, said the prosecution was instituted under the first section of the act 35 and 36 Vic., chap. 94. Defendant had for some time past been making himself very obnoxious to the landlord of this house, who was his brother, and on March 11th he entered the house, and, as usual, was quarrelsome. He threatened his brother, and pushed his fist in his face. At 10 o'clock P.C. Nash requested defendant to leave, but he refused and would not go until the Constable threatened to eject him.

Mr. Ellis, on behalf of the defendant, submitted that the prosecutor was quarrelsome, and not the defendant. The complainant was not on friendly terms with his brother.

William Alfred Evans deposed that no quarrel occurred until 10 o'clock, when prosecutor ordered defendant out of the house, and, on defendant refusing, prosecuted took off his coat and was in the act of forcibly ejected him when P.C. Nash entered the house, and defendant then left quietly. He was not quarrelsome while witness was present, and he was there all the time.

The Bench, after a consultation in private, announced that they were divided in the matter, and the Chairman, given his voice in favour of the defendant, the case was dismissed. It seemed to him that the licence holder should conduct his own house. He instructed the Superintendent to take a note of his remarks for the annual licensing day.
