THE TIME FOR CLOSING BEERSHOPS.
At the St. Augustine's Petty Sessions on Saturday last, the occupier of
a beer-shop situate in the centre of Whitstable-street, in the parish of
Seasalter, applied to the justices for their advice how net to act under
the following circumstances.
The applicant said he had kept the beer-shop in question for the past 12
years, and during the whole of that time, with the exception of the past
fortnight, he had closed his house at eleven o'clock at night; but he
had now received orders from Supt. Walker to close it at 10, and he had
complied with those orders, but it was very inconvenient so to do,
situate as his house was in the very centre of Whitstable-street.
Supt. Walker:— There are several beer-shops similarly circumstanced. As
soon as I found that they were keeping their houses open beyond the
proper hours, I sent and warned him not to continue to do so. For the
parish of Seasalter the time for closing is 10 o’clock, and at
Whitstable it is 11. I told the parties, if they felt aggrieved, they
had better make an application to the magistrates, and have the matter
settled.
The Clerk said if the house was situate within the town of Whitstable,
the occupier was entitled to keep his
home open till 11 o’clock at night. He thought the question had been
settled some time since, but it depended upon the construction of the
act of Parliament. If there was any doubt about it, however, the
beer-shop keepers so circumstanced ought to have the benefit of the
doubt.
Supt. Walker:— Mr object is to have the thing set at rest, and to know
how to act with these houses.
The Clerk then read the clause of the Act of Parliament on the subject,
by which it was clear that beer-shop keepers within the town of
Whitstable, though located in the parish of Seasalter are entitled to
keep their houses open until 11 o’clock at night.
The Chairman (Mr. Delmar):— I think there can be no doubt the applicant
is entitled to keep his house open till 11 o’clock at night. His house
is situate in a populous part of the town of Whitstable.
The applicant thanked the Bench, and withdrew. Although no order was
made, it was understood that the magistrates did not wish it to be
considered as their opinion that all beer-shops in the parish of
Seasalter were to be kept open till 11 o‘clock at night.

Kentish Gazette, Tuesday 7 October 1862.
The Abomination of False Balancing and Measures.
The only business before the court consisted of investigating a number
of charges for incorrect scales and measures preferred by Mr. Mount,
inspector of weights and measures.
Robert Lawrence, publican, of Whitstable, was charged with having a pint
measure deficient in capacity, but as it appeared probable that he was
not aware of the circumstance the case was dismissed.
Andrew David Moyes, publican, and Richard Hussell, publican, both of
Whitstable, were fined 1s. and 8s. costs each, for having deficient
measures.

Death from Alcoholic Poisoning.
The East Kent Coroner (Mr. E. M. Mercer) held an inquest on Saturday, at
Whitstable, on the body of George Mungeam, aged 49, a farm labourer,
living at Bug's Hole Farm, Whitstable.
It appeared that deceased had not been to work on the previous Thursday.
He came home at four p.m. apparently the worse for drink. He went to bed
about 4.45, and nothing more was heard of him. As he did not come down
to breakfast on Friday morning his brother-in-law (Henry Benefield) went
to his room and found him in bed dead. Dr. Hayward made a post mortem
examination and found the cause of death to be alcoholic poisoning. An
empty bottle, which had contained spirits, was found under the
deceased’s pillow. The doctor knew the deceased was addicted to drink
and had been called to him several times.
The jury returned a verdict of death from alcoholic poisoning.
