At the petty sessions on Monday, William Brookes, landlord of the "Three Post Boys," Sittingbourne, was summoned for permitting drunkenness on licensed premises on December 14th.

Mr. A Booth Hearn (Chatham) appeared for the defendant.

The case arose out of a charge of drunkenness, which was dealt with at a recent Court. The defendant denied the charge, but in the end the Bench imposed the fine of £2 and costs. It was also announced that the conviction would be recorded.
