DARTFORD PETTY SESSIONS.

(Before Sir P. H. Dyke, O. Smith, W. Arbuthnot, and W. H, Dyke, Esqs.)

The licence to the publicans in this division were granted without complaint.

Mr. Gibson also applied on behalf of Mr. John Eves, of Lessucss heath, for a license to the "Royal Standard." Mr. Childs opposed on behalf of Mr. Hasle, of the "Belvedere Hotel," and other publicans in the neighbourhood, and called John Strickland, bailiff to Sir Culling Eardley, who produced a letter from Sir Culling, expressing his opinion that there was not any necessity for another licensed house in the neighbourhood. The Bench refused the application.

An inquest was held on Tuesday last at the "Royal Standard Inn," Belvedere, on the body of Mark Wood, night watchman at the Belvedere Railway Station, who dropped dead on Saturday morning.
