WINGHAM PETTY SESSIONS

OBJECTIONS TO PUBLIC HOUSE LICENCES

Dr. Hardman applied for the renewal of the "White Swan," Preston fully licensed house owned by Cobb and Co., Margate.

Dr. Hardman submitted that the need of the district were likely to increase on account of the nearness of the Collieries. The house now did a considerable trade.

Mr. Piddock, who was granted the transfer at the last Sessions, said that he was satisfied that a living could be made at the house.

Mr Chandler (a Magistrate) asked if he did not give away free beer when he opened the house?

Witness denied this.

Mr. Chandler said that he had heard a different story.

Mr. Rook, manager to Messrs. Cobb and Co. said they were satisfied with the result of the first month's recoups run by the new tenant.

The house was referred.
