CITY PETTY SESSIONS.
Wednesday. (Before Capt. Burton, Dr. Drawbridge, and J. L. Levy, S.
Steele, and E. R. Coles, Esqrs.)
To-day being the annual licensing day, the magistrates assembled at
eleven o’clock for the dispatch of business.
Mr. Stephenson, on behalf of James Tutt, applied for a license for
the "Fountain" beer-shop, Strood. The application was opposed by Mr.
Lewis, and refused by the magistrates.
Mr. Lewis then applied for a license for the "Homeward Bound"
beer-shop, St. Nicholas, in tenure of James Kason Goble. The
application was unopposed, and the Court granted the license. (At present I have no idea which pub this is.
