General Licensing Day. New applications.

There were 11 new applications for spirit licences.

Mr. F. J. Smith, barrister applied on the part of Mr. George Higham for a licence for the "New Medway Inn," at Wouldham. He produced photographs of the property, and a memorial signed most numerously by the inhabitants, and said his client has expanded £1400 on the house, and the build 18 houses. It was a new district, and had sprung up within the last few years, and was in the neighbourhood of the lime works and the Engineers' Camp.

Mr. Haywood opposed the application, and applied for a licence on the part of Mr. Peters, for the "Foresters' Arms." The houses he said was situated nearly opposite the Ferry, where he said at one time a Bishop of Rochester was drowned, and he had no doubt if there had been a licensed house there at the time, so that spirits could have been obtained, that his life might have been saved.

Mr. R. Prall opposed on the part of Mr. Baker, the landlord of the "Watermans' Arms," and contended that the licences applied for were not required, as his client's house was quite sufficient to supply the wants of the neighbourhood.

Mr. J. Bassett opposed on the part of the Vicar.

Both applications refused.
