Ashford Invalid Objections to Licences.
At the adjourned licensing sessions, Ashford on Tuesday, objection was
raised on the grounds of redundancy to the licences of the "Eight Bells" and
"Smiths Arms," Ashford and the "Black Dog," Great Chart.
Mr. B. B. C. Drake contended that the objection was invalid on the ground
that no written notice has been served on the licence holders as the Act
required.
This was upheld by the Bench, and all three licences were renewed.
