DOVER PETTY COURT

William Gatehouse, landlord of the "Fishing Boat", Fishmonger's lane, was summonsed for keeping his house open, for the sale of beer, after 11 o'clock at night on Saturday last.

Police-constable Pine said that he cautioned defendant several times of Saturday night against keeping his house open.

The Bench, in consideration in his good character, mitigated the penalty of 15s., including costs, which was paid.

 

 

An apt title that. Sometimes described as an inn as early as 1848 but by 1865 the sign was "Prince of Wales" and locally referred to as the Feathers for obvious reasons.
