ST. AUGUSTINE'S PETTY SESSIONS.
Saturday.
(Before T. Hilton, Esq, in the chair, and H. Denne, Esqrs)
This was the annual general licensing day. All the old licenses were
renewed, and the chairman said he was pleased to be able to state that
out of the fifty-four licensed houses in the Home division there had
been only one complaint made during the year, which was exceedingly
creditable to the landlords. There were four applications for new
licenses, viz:- John Anderson, for the “Stag,” at Whitstable; Mr. H. T. Sankey supported
the application, and handed in a memorial and petition, most respectably
signed. He said that for the past twenty years only one license had been
granted for Whitstable. In 1851 there was a population of 3,000, and at
the present time he believed it numbered between 5,000 and 6,000. The
house was situated on the sea wall, and lately had been a place of
resort by visitors. The applicant had kept a beer house for sixteen
years. Benjamin Burton, for the “Victoria” also in Whitstable. He produced a
memorial in favour of his application. Michael Delany, for the “Magpie,” at Harbledown, and Richard Mutton, for
the “Plough and Harrow,” Bridge. The decision of the Bench upon these
applications will not be announced until the adjourned licensing day,
the 21st of September.
