WINGHAM PETTY SESSIONS

Supt. Ford, Home Division, reported that there had been one conviction against a licensee and one non-resident female convicted for drunkenness (consuming methylated spirits), this being the first conviction for eight years. He had been instructed by the Chief Constable of Kent to oppose the renewal of the licence of the “Forester’s Arms,” Littlebourne.

The Chairman said that he was pleased at the satisfactory reports from the Police. The licenses would all be renewed with the exception of the “Forester’s Arms,” Littlebourne, to which the Police were objecting.

Supt. Ford contended that the licence was not required. The house was 103yds. from a beer house and 600yds. From a fully licensed house. The licence was continually changing hands. When he served the notice on the licence, he said that trade was very bad. He was losing money, and he had to go out to work when he could get it.

The licence was refused.
