WEST KENT QUARTER SESSIONS. APPEALS.

Two appeals against the refusal of the county justices of the Rochester division to grant spirit licenses, at the last annual licensing meeting, were heard; one being brought by Mr. Wilson, of the "Spread Eagle" beer-shop, Chatham, and the other by Mr. George Sayer, of the "Woodland Tavern, Canterbury-road, Gillingham. The counsel in both cases were the same, Mr. Russell appearing on behalf of the applicants, and Mr, Barrow for the respondents. Both appeals were dismissed.

A similar application to that noticed in our report of the East Kent Sessions, relative to the Sun-Pier, Chatham, was made by Mr. Russell; and the court granted the request.
