Sevenoaks Chronicles and Kentish Advertiser, Friday 4 September 1891.
These sessions were held on Monday last, before Mr C. W. Morland, in the
chair, the Hon. R Nevill, Mr. W. Monckton, Mr. E. B. Evelyn. and Col.
Luck.
ANNUAL LICENSING REPORT.
Acting-Supt. Lane presented his report, which contained the following:—
“I have to report, for the information of the justices, there are within
the Malling Petty Sessional Division 88 inns, 78 beerhouses licensed for
the sale of beer. &c., to be consumed on the premises, and 13 off
licenses.”
"Four of the landlords have been convicted during the last year for
offences against the Licencing Act. viz.
George Willsher Lipscombe, the landlord of the "Chequers Inn," at Laddingford, Yalding, who was convicted on the 27th October last for
keeping his licensed premises open for the sale of intoxicating liquors
during prohibited hours; a fine of 20s. was inflicted and his licence
endorsed.
William Stone, the landlord of the "George Inn," Trotterscliffe, who was
convicted on the 13th July last for permitting drunkenness upon his
licensed premises; a fine of £3 was inflicted.
George Crittie, the landlord of the "Railway Bell" beerhouse at Ightham,
who was convicted on the 27th of July last for being drunk and
disorderly on the highway, at Ightham, and was fined 1Os. and costs.
This licence has since been temporarily transferred to another.
Alfred Tomlyn, the landlord of the "Black Horse Inn," at Borough Green,
Wrotham. who was convicted on the 27th September last for keeping his
licensed premises open for the sale of intoxicating liquors daring
prohibited hours; a fine of £5 was inflicted, and the licensed endorsed.
His licence has since been transferred to another person, and the house
is now being very satisfactorily conducted.
It is, therefore, my intention to oppose the renewal of the licences to
the first three persons named upon the grounds stated in the notices of
opposition served on the licensed holders of the houses in question.
Copies of such notices are annexed.

After changing name to the "Black

reverted back to simply the "Black Horse" again by 2019.
