CHATHAM POLICE COURT.
Yesterday (before the Rev. J. J. Marsham and Mr. T. H. Day), William
Stevenson, a private in the Chatham Division of Royal Marines, was
charged with stealing two pairs of trousers, the property of Lieutenant
James William Arbostle. The servant of the prosecutor was at the “Prince
of Wales” beerhouse, where the prisoner also was. On leaving the house
he was followed by the prisoner, who succeeded in getting the two pairs
of trousers from him, which he afterwards offered for sale. The prisoner
said he was guilty, but was so drunk at the time that he did not known
what he was about. The prisoner’s character was said to be “fair.” He
was committed for six weeks’ hard labour.

The Olive Branch.
Mr. Hayward next asked that the indoor beer licence of the
"Prince of
Wales," High Street, Chatham (recently burnt down), might be transferred
to the "Olive Branch," in East Street, Chatham, which has at present
only and outdoor licence. He said there would be a double advantage in
the transfer, as there were many licences in the High Street, and one
was wanted in the neighbourhood of the "Olive Branch." The
application
was made at the adjourned session last year, but that the Rev Marsham
said it would be better that it should come before the original
sessions. At present the occupier of the "Olive Branch" was in the
difficulty of not being able to serve even his lodgers.
Mr. Prall opposed on behalf of the "Compasses" and said there were one
public house and five beer houses in the vicinity.
The application was refused. |
