THE ANNUAL LICENSING DAY
THE MARINERS' ARMS
Mr. Craddock, the landlord of this house, was informed that the
Magistrates had resolved to suspend the renewal of the license until
their meeting at Broadstairs, when he might apply again, the Mayor
observing that the Magistrates hope the present landlord would then be
able to show that he had conducted his house in the interim in such a
manner as would justify them in renewing the license.

SEAMAN'S ADVANCE NOTES
Mr. Fox appeared on behalf of Mr. Craddock, the proprietor of a
public-house on the Commercial Quay, who, it appeared, had cashed an
advance note of a seaman name John Hammond, whose case was before the
magistrates last week, to the value of £1 8s., the man having engaged
himself for a voyage in a ship from Dover to Aberdeen. The Magistrates
on that occasion thought the conduct of Mr. Craddock was such as to
recommend the Superintendent of Police to bring the matter before the
Magistrates on the annual licensing day; but Mr. Fox's statement went to
prove that the proceedings of Mr. Craddock in cashing the note was
perfectly regular. The bench, however, declined to vary the directions,
the Magistrates sitting on the previous week had given the
Superintendent.

The licence looks to be suspended from 1868 to 1871 but the pub was
certainly active again after that. The Bench did refuse to renew the licence
however from 1891 onwards.
However, further research found in the Dover Express of 16 February 1906,
a passage mentions that improvements were needed for the lavatory
accommodation as it was inadequate, and that unless improvements were made
the license would not be renewed. So it looks as if this pub may have still
been serving in 1906, if not longer.

From the Dover Express and East Kent News, Friday, 16 February, 1906. Price 1d.
IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED.
The Chairman announced that in respect of the “Mariner’s Arms,” Strond
Street, the “Exeter Arms,” Limekiln Street, and the “Sceptre Inn,” the
lavatory accommodation was inadequate, and the licenses were granted on
the understanding that the owners gave an undertaking to put them in the
shortest possibly term in a satisfactory state.
The undertakings were given.
The Magistrates Clerk announced that the ordinary licenses would then be
renewed except in the cases where notice had been given by the Police,
and which are dealt with in this report.
