Bromley & District Times, Friday 28 March 1890.
Non bonafide travellers at Hayes.
Thomas Roberts, Edward Clarke, Thomas Clarke, Joseph Clarke, all of
Bromley Common, was summoned by Mr. Edward
Mercer Moon, of the "George and Dragon," Hayes, for falsely representing
themselves to be travellers, and further with refusing
to quit when requested to do so.
Mr. Moon, landlord of the "George and Dragon Inn" at Hayes, said the
defendant came to his house shortly past 3 o'clock on
Sunday afternoon, and were served by the barmaid with a pot of beer on
the pretense that they were travellers. Three of them
stated that they came from Dartford and one from Catford.
Ada Overton, a barmaid, deposed to serving defendants with a pot of "six
ale" for which sixpence was paid by one of the men.
The defendants denied that they had a drink.
Upon the second charge, Mr. Moon said the defendants came back again at
twenty minutes to six o'clock, and he called to the
barmaid to refuse to serve them with any drink. She did so, but it
appeared they waited till the opening of the house at 6:45. The
barmaid then refused to serve them. Frederick Warner said he was in the
"George and Dragon" at the time the defendant came in.
They used the most abusive language to the barmaid.
The Bench fined the defendant's 10s. and 4s. 7 1/2d. costs each, on the
charge of refusing to quit, and 10s. and 6s. 3d. on the
charge of false representation.
A publican, the Bench said, who endeavoured to conduct his house as the
complainant had done deserve to be supported.

Maidstone Journal and Kentish Advertiser 15 June 1893.
A report was read from Dr. Harris Butterfield; as to the foul and
dilapidated condition of two closets at the "George Inn," Hayes, which
were also placed in such a position as to be a nuisance and dangerous to
the health of the occupants of the adjoining premises. He advised that
they should be abolished and the earth closet system adopted on a site
10 feet away from their present position. It was ordered that new
privies be erected.

TEACHING LANDLORDS THEIR DUTY.
Mr. Britton, assistant official receiver in the London Bankruptcy Court,
raised an objection at the Bromley Licensing Sessions yesterday to the
renewal of the license for the "George Inn," at Hayes. He said that
while cycling recently Mrs. Britton and he stopped at this hostelry and
called for tea. The daughter of the landlord refused to supply it, and
gave three reasons - first, because it was too late (the time being 6.30
p.m.); next, that they had no hot water; and; thirdly, that the fire
was out. The magistrates declined to adopt the suggestion of Mr. Britton
to extort from the landlord an undertaking to supply non-alcoholic
beverages when asked for. The chairman, however, remarked that license
holders generally would infer from what had been stated what their duty
to the public was. |
