CRANBROOK.
Petty Sessions, Thursday. (Before T. L. Hodges, Esq., chairman, J.
C. Schreiber, Esq., the Rev. T. Barrow, and T. H. Roberts, Esq.)
Newton Edwards, innkeeper of Newenden, was also charged by Rumens,
with opening his house for the sale of beer before half-past twelve
on Sunday last. Mr. Rigg stated that he visited Edwards’s house at
twenty minutes after twelve, on the morning of Sunday, the 2nd
inst., he found the outer door open, and on proceeding to the
taproom he found the defendant with several other persons smoking
and drinking. Defendant stated in his defence that it was just
twelve o’clock by his clock when the superintendent called, but as
Mr. Rigg spoke positively as to the time, he having set his watch
before starting from home, defendant was convicted in the penalty of
18s. and costs.

Sussex Advertiser, Saturday 15 September 1866.
Cranbrook Annual Licensing Day.
On this occasion Mr. Taylor, of the "Bull Inn," provided in his usual
style for the accommodation of his "brother bungs" and their friends.
Among those present was Mr. Hanson, of Newenden, who attended for the
60th time. Our friend, who is 86 year-old, was driven by his ostlety,
aged 72, in a carriage too old for anyone to imagine the date, and which
was drawn by a "colt," only 27 years old.

Sussex Agricultural Express 14 March 1903.
RYE COUNTY BENCH, WEDNESDAY. CAUTION TO OTHERS.
John Carter, "White Hart Inn," Newenden, was summoned for allowing a pig
to be removed without a license, and Ernest Crouch, in the employ of Mr.
Vidler, Northiam, was summoned for removing the said pig.
P.C. Alce said
a declaration form was received from Carter, who had admitted he had no
license, or he would have obtained one.
Defendant Carter said he sent
twice to the Police Station at Beckley for a license. The first time his
messenger was told a written application must be made, and the second
time that it was for Mr. Vidler to apply for a license. He had had
nothing to do with such matters before.
Defendant Crouch pleaded
neglect of duty in not looking at the declaration, which he took to be
the license.
Superintendent Elphinstone said the application for a
declaration must be in writing or personally. The second application in
this case was for a declaration form, without which the license could
not be granted.
The Chairman said this was the first case that had
come before them. Some pains had been taken to comply with the law, but
not sufficient. It was evidently a mistake. The penalty was not
exceeding £20, but defendants would be fined 1s. and 6s. 6d. costs each.
No doubt publicity would be given to the case for the information of
others.
If another case came before the Bench the decision would be very
different.

HAUNTED.
Inside the inglenook fireplace there is room for two bench seats
which are taken out before the winter fire is lit. The "White Hart" is a
16th century inn with fine Kent style weatherboarding. It is a two bar
pub with a ghost that haunts part of the building. Observers describe
him as middle aged, dressed as a farmer or farm labourer, with leather
gaiters. When he is observed, sitting near the inglenook fireplace, he
is holding an old-fashioned beer mug. The pub was opened in the late
1500s, which has large internal oak beams.
