Kentish Gazette, 4 November 1851.

Ashford.

At the sitting of the Magistrates on Saturday, Nov. 1, (present, J. B. Wildman, Esq., E. R. Sayer, Esq., Wm. Burra, Esq., Harry Wm. Carter, Esq., and the Revs. E. R. Nares, N. Toke, and J. Dufton,) Arthur Marsh, landlord of the "Albion Inn," Willisborough, was summoned by Superintendent Gifford for having his house open on Sunday, Oct. 20, during the hours of divine service, tor the sale of malt and spirituous liquors. Superintendent Gilford stated that on the morning in question, about ten, he visited the house, and found nine persons smoking and drinking; he called the attention of Mr. Marsh to it, who said that he had nothing to do with it—that he had let the house to Mr. Ash, of Canterbury, and that a person named Shoveller was then in possession. The Superintendent told him, that was nothing to do with it, as the license was in his name, and had not been transferred. Shoveller then made his appearance, and said that some of the persons were lodgers. He again visited the house at twenty minutes past eleven o'clock, and not gaining admittance by the front door, went round to the back, and found seventeen persons, some of them smoking, but the beer had been, removed.

In answer to questions put by the Bench, Mr. Ash said that the house was now in his hands, and trusted the magistrates would deal leniently with the case, promising that the house should be well conducted for the future.

Mr. Wildman, on this promise being made, and taking into consideration that Marsh was out of the house, said that he would fine him in the mitigated penalty of 40s. and costs.
