ST. AUGUSTINE'S PETTY SESSIONS.
A Distributable Custom.
James Harris, beer shop keeper of Herne Bay, was charged upon the
information of Superintendent Walker, with having his
house open before half—past twelve o'clock on Sunday, the 19th
instant.
In extenuation, the defendant said it was the fault of a farmer of
the name of John Carey, living in the neighbourhood, who
always paid his men on a Sunday morning; when they came to his
"defendant's) house, to get change, and have a pint of
beer.
The Bench spoke strongly against such a practice, and ordered the
defendant to pay 21s. 60., the fine and costs.

Kentish Gazette, 20 June 1854.
James Harris, of the parish of Herne, was convicted of allowing
disorderly conduct at his house at 12 o'clock at night, on the 10th of
June last, upon the information of Superintendent Walker.
Mr. Delasaux defended, and contended that it was a petty, paltry
information, and one that ought not to have been brought forward.
Fined 1s. and the costs.

ST. AUGUSTINE’S PETTY SESSIONS.
Saturday.
James Harris, keeper of a beer-shop at Herne,
(possibly the "Hampton") was charged with
having his house open for the sale of beer at an unlawful hour.
Police Sergeant Mayhew, said that he saw three persons coming round
the back of defendant’s house, at three o’clock on Sunday morning,
the 4th Oct. He followed them and found half a gallon of beer upon
one of the men. Witness afterwards went to defendant’s house and
found him up and dressed. Defendant said the three men had been
having a frolic at a house above. One of the men was son of Handcock,
the occupier of the house referred to.
George Handcock, a very unwilling witness, admitted after much cross
questioning, that he had been with two men named Silk and Curteis,
on the occasion in question to Harris’s house with a bottle, and
that witness’s father had told him to tell Harris that it would be
all right.
Stephen Curteis was sworn, but nothing whatever could be got out of
him. He could not remember anything about the matter.
Superintendent Walker said the defendant had been twice previously
before the magistrates, and the Bench fined him £1 and costs.,
together £1 16s. 6d.

From the Whitstable Times, 10 September, 1870.
ST. AUGUSTINE’S PETTY SESSIONS.
Mr. Robert Hitchings Bushell made an application for permission to sell
beer to be drunk on his premises at Herne Bay, viz., in a building
adjoining his brewery.
The application was supported by a barrister and opposed by Mr.
Delasaux, who contended that by granting the license the Bench would
only be increasing an already large number of beer houses in Herne Bay.
Ultimately the license was allowed.

HEARN BAY.— ADDITIONAL REFRESHMENT ROOMS.
Messrs. Child applied on behalf of Messrs. Spiere and Pond, for the
Bench to approve of new plans for the erection of a refreshment room on
the up-platform of the Herne Bay Railway Station. At present there was
only one on the down-platform, and the Company experienced great
difficulty in keeping passengers and excursionists from crossing the
lines instead of using the subway. The Bench passed the plans, and it was agreed that the license, now held
by the Company, should cover the new premises. |

ST. AUGUSTINE’S ADJOURNED LICENSING SESSIONS.
HERNE BAY.—APPLICATION REFUSED.
Edwin James Butler, of 14, High Street, Herne Bay, applied for an
additional licence to sell beer off the premises. He said he wished to
sell a smaller quantities. There were a great many visitors to Herne Bay
in the summer and the quantity of liquor that he was able to sell was
not always convenient for them to take away. He had held a licence since
1898 and he wished to sell in smaller quantities. He could sell now a
four gallon cask and upwards or three dozen bottles and upwards while he
was allowed to sell from one bottle to eleven bottles of wine.
Mr. A. Booth Hearn, solicitor, of Chatham, on behalf of the police,
objected to the licence being granted.
After hearing further evidence, the Chairman said the Bench did not
think the applicant had shown any ground why he should have a fresh
licence and the application would, therefore, be refused.
