BREWERY TO LET.
TO BE LET, and entered upon immediately if required.
ALL that Old Established and well-accustomed BREWERY, situate at
FOLKSTONE, in the County of Kent, called the Folkstone Brewery, with
every convenience, in good condition attached, for carrying on a good
and profitable business.
From the fact alone that Folkestone, in a commercial point of view, is
rapidly increasing in importance, the present opportunity is very
favourable for a safe investment of capital.
The Tenant’s fixtures and such articles and effects as a tenant may
require, to be taken at a valuation.
Thomas Foord, of Folkestone, (adjoining the Brewery), will show the
Premises, and further information may he obtained on Application to

DOVER POLICE REPORT
Jane Dodd, one of the frail nymphs, was charged by Police-constable
Marsh, with indecent conduct, and insulting him. The insult, it
appeared, was a vulgar extension of the fingers and thumb from the nasal
organ, and the case, altogether, was of so trumpery a nature, that it
was dismissed.

THE NEW SPIRITS LICENCES BILL
The greatest activity prevails in the Excise department, making
arrangements in the event of the Spirits Licences Bill passing into a
law. Mr. John Wood, the chairman of the board, who has left town for the
purpose of making his annual inspection of the coast, was called to
town, and remained in communication with the Chancellor of the Exchequer
the whole of Friday and Saturday last; and Mr. C. Freeling, the
secretary, was also required to be in attendance to afford information.
The duties of the surveying officers in thickly populated districts are
at present sufficiently heavy, and little addition can be made to them,
consequently some few new officers will be required; but in other
districts, it is stated the additional duty will be performed by the
surveying officers. The premises of chemists and druggists will be
periodically visited; and each vendor will be require to take out a two
guinea licence. The object of the bill is to put a stop to illicit
distillation.

DOVER POLICE COURT
A rather stylishly-dressed young man, who gave the name of William Gibby,
a linen draper's assistant, was fined 12s., including costs, for causing
an obstruction in Townwall Street. He paid the fine. It appeared the
prisoner and a friend of his had indulged too much in brandy and water,
which proved too strong, for when they got to the street they commenced
sparring and other feats, and collected a crowd of about 100 persons.
The friend “moved on” at the Policeman's mandate, but the prisoner, who
said he was a “lord,” refused to “depart in peace,” and was taken into
custody.

DOVER POLICE COURT
John Parsons, a fly-driver, whose many appearances before the Bench will
soon cause his name to be familiar to our readers, was charged with

He did not deny the charge, and was fined 30s., including costs; he paid
£1 and was allowed seven days for paying the remainder.

ROLLS COURT, AUGUST 31.
GUINNESS v. FRIEND
Mr. Kenyon Parker, Q.C., applied for an injunction to restrain the
defendant, a bottled porter dealer at Dover, from selling as Guinness's
stout, malt liquor not brewed by Messrs. Guinness and Co., and from
selling it in bottles with forged labels thereon.
It appeared in evidence that the plaintiffs, who are the well-known
brewers in Dublin, have, for many years past, with the view of securing
the public from impositions, been in the habit of shipping their stout
to Mr. Moline, of London Bridge (their sole consignee for London and the
Eastern Division of England), or to his order, and that Mr. Molne
appoints agents, who sell the stout in bottles with certain labels
thereon, which are printed exclusively by his order, and are by him
supplied solely to the agents, who are bound not to sell any bottled
stout without such a label. It was proved that the defendant had been
detected in selling considerable quantities of malt liquor, of a very
inferior quality, as Guinness's stout, in bottles, with forged labels,
being an exact imitation of Messrs. Guinness's label, and containing a
fac simile of the signature of the firm.
The Master of the Rolls compared the defendant's labels with the
plaintiffs' labels, and said that they closely resembled each other, and
that the plaintiffs were entitled to the order.
Injunction granted.
