THE "CRICKETER'S ARMS" AND THE "SPORTSMAN," WEST MALLING.

Mr. W. C. Cripps, who represented the brewers, Messrs. Leney, said his clients had come to the conclusion that the Bench had made a wise selection in regard to these two houses, and they would therefore not oppose the licenses being referred to the Quarter Sessions. He would therefore only ask for an ordinary provisional license on that occasion.

This was granted.
