MALLING PETTY SESSIONS.

Monday.— Before the Hon E. V. Bligh (in the chair), Colonel Luck, and Major Bailey.

LICENSING.

The license of the "Nag's Head," Malling, was temporarily transferred from Wilfred Goulton to a man named Helmes.

Addressing Messrs. Jude, Hanbury and Co’s traveller, Mr Bligh said that both these houses (also "King's Arms") were not required in Malling. He noticed that in the Tonbridge division that the same brewers had adopted a system, and given up two licenses for a new one. He only made these remarks for the consideration of Messrs. Jude. The last named house was most inconveniently situated, as he could himself testify, and if Messrs. Jude could see fit to do away with the house it might be of interest to them, as well as the public.
