Kentish Independent, Friday 28 September 1906.
In the case of the "Inverness Arms," Plumstead Common, Mr. Travers
Humphreys, barrister appeared in support of the application. He
explained that the incoming tenant, was fined £10 in April at Bromley
for selling liquor in a place where he was not authorised to sell. The
maximum penalty for this was £50. The Inland Revenue authorities had
knowledge of the affair for four months, and yet refuse to prosecute,
and the summons was taken out by a neighbouring publican. Mr. Collicott
had been supplying beer in accordance with an order for two years,
calling at the house whilst on his round to see whether the customer
needed any. As it was an off-licence, the Bench eventually decided that
there had been a contravention of the act, and considered him guilty of
hawking beer, although it had been ordered beforehand. The owners of the
house, wishing to avoid all unpleasantness, thought it desirable that he
should have leave the house, and to compensate him they had offered him
the tenancy of the "Inverness Arms."
In granting the transfer, the chairman gave the applicant of caution.
