Thursday. Licensing.

This being the adjourned licensing day, those parties, whose licences had been suspended, again attended, and after receiving animadversion for their irregularity of conduct, had their licences granted, but with a decided caution that if again complaints were made against them they would not have their licences in future.

These parties were:- John Stairs, of the "Eight Bells," King Street;

John Noble, "Kentish Arms;"

George Kilner, "City of London;"

John Jordan, "White Heart;"

John Gillis, "Bricklayers' Arms;"

Elizabeth Forbes, "Oddfellows Arms;"

John Murphy, "Carpenter's Arms;"

Richard Wellard, "George and Dragon," Westgate;

Joseph Pentecost, "Royal George;"

and George Crow, "Rose and Crown."

Applications for New Licences.

Thomas Rodgers, of the "Sir Robert Peel" beer shop;

David Tuthwell, "True Britain;"

and Edward Gordon, "Pine Apple,"

applied for spirit licences, but which were refused.

Kentish Gazette, 28 September 1852.

Publican Fined.

George Crow, of the "Rose and Crown," St. Dunstan's, and Joseph Pentecost, "Royal George," Wincheap, were charged with having company in their houses tippling during divine services. The former pleaded guilty, but alleged that it was a traveller who came in with two railway porters; and the latter that two of his company were travellers, two lodgers, and two had come to pay him some money.

Drinking had been going on in each case, and the Bench fined each of the defendant's 5s and 10s. costs.
