South Eastern Gazette, 1 May, 1860.

Tonbridge. Petty sessions, Wednesday.

(Before Major Scoons, chairman, H. T. More, A. Pott, and C. Powell Esqus.)

James Jenner, the keeper of the beer house at Marsh-green, in the parish of Edenbridge, was charged with knowingly permitting gambling in his house on 31st March.

It appeared that complaints having been made of gambling transactions in the house, a constable went there and saw several persons gaming with a "turn-a-bout."

Mr. Rogers, who appeared for the defendant, stated that the men were playing for beer, but not for money. The defendant had only kept the house, which was his own property, for about 14 months, and was not aware that he was committing any offence in permitting his customers to play with the turnabout, which was in common use in the fares, &c., throughout the country. He then addressed the bench in mitigating of the penalty.

The chairman, after cautioning Jenner, inflicted a penalty of 10s. and 10s. costs.
