LICENSING BUSINESS.

SEVENOAKS DID NOT AGREE WITH HIM.

With regards to the license of the "Plummers Arms," London Road, Sevenoaks, application was made for the transfer from Mr. Thomas Arnold Curtis to Mr. James Albert Walker. Sergeant Paramour told the magistrates that the outgoing tenant had only been in the house about a month, but he had a doctor's certificate to the effect that he found now that Sevenoaks did not agree with him. The incoming tenant had held a license in the Borough of Maidstone for the last eight years, and the police reported it had been conducted in a very satisfactory manner. The transfer was granted.
