WEST KENT COMPENSATION AUTHORITY.
The West Kent Compensation Authority met at the Sessions House,
Maidstone, on Thursday. Mr. Coles Child presiding. Mr. H. J. Bracher formally applied for the renewal of the license of the
“Gardeners' Arms,” High-street, Tenterden, a beer-house owned by Messrs.
Edwards and Sons, and licensed to Alfred William Field. Mr. A. J Ellis, on behalf of the Justices, elicited from Sergt. Buss,
K.C.C., that the premises were within a short distance of two other
houses of superior accommodation also owned by Messrs. Edwards and Sons.
The trade was a small one, and the house was not easy of supervision,
because of a right-of-way owned by the next-door neighbour. The tenant
was a very respectable man, but the house was not needed. Mr. Bracher drew attention to the fact that this Committee three years
renewed the license and, cross-examining witness, he elicited that there
was a fair bottle and Jug trade at the house. Addressing the Committee. Mr. Bracher pointed out that the trade was
principally of a bottle and jug description of about three barrels per
week. The tenant, in his evidence, stated that his trade was principally
amongst the poorer classes for supper beer, and that he had held the
license about six years. Replying to Mr Ellis, witness stated that he also carried on the
business of a grocer. The Committee refused to renew the licence. |
