East Kent Gazette, Saturday 20 September 1879.
The Hearts of Oak, Sheerness.
Mr. Elliot Brenchley, landlord of the "Hearts of Oak" beerhouse,
Sheerness, applied to have the spirits licence of the "Army and Navy
Inn" transferred to his house.
Mr. Stallon appeared for the applicant in this matter, and the proposal
was opposed by Mr. Kingsford.
It appeared that there was no application before the bench for the
renewal of a licence of the "Army and Navy," in consequence of the house
having been closed as an inn, and, so the the latter materiality of Miss
Robinson "the Soldiers' Friend,") turned into a coffee tavern, though it
had not yet been practically opened as such.
Mr. Stallon commenced to address their worships sonne the application,
pointing out that the fact of its being granted would not increase the
number of public houses in Sheerness; but the Chairman said he need not
go on, as a magistrates had already made up their minds. The application
would be refused.
