CHARGE OF INFRINGING LICENSE.

Thomas Ellenger, landlord of the "Cinque Ports Volunteer Inn," was charged with refusing the police admission to his house at five minutes past one o'clock on the morning of Sunday last, the 6th inst.

It appeared that police sergeant Barton had heard people inside the house at the hour stated, but on knocking at the door he was not admitted.

The defendant said that he had some troublesome customers in the house at the time that it should have been closed, and that he had shut the door in order that he might get them out quietly and that no others might enter. He was trying to get them to leave when he heard a knocking at the door, but he was quite unaware the police desired admittance, or he should have opened it.

It seemed the defendant's house was generally well-conducted, and that the defendant had never been summoned for any similar offence. The magistrates therefore gave a caution, and refrained from a conviction on the payment of the costs.
