Mr. A. Dickenson, of the brewery, Tontine Street, made an application to a house at the bottom of High Street. The house had formerly had a beer license, but the previous occupier having left without giving notice, the certificate had expired, and he now applied for a new one. Mr. Dickenson stated that he intended making extensive alterations in the house, plans of which he produced. There being an informality in the notice, the Bench did not accede to the application.

Folkestone Express 27 August 1870.

Annual Licensing Meeting.

Wednesday, August 24th: Before The Mayor, Capt. Kennicott, J. Tolputt, A.M. Leith and C.H. Dashwood Esqs.

The Tradesmen's Arms: Mr. Minter applied on behalf of Messrs. Dickenson for a license to this house, which faces the bottom of High Street. It had been shut up for some time. It was Messrs. Dickenson's intention to erect a new house if the Bench granted the application, which would be a great ornament to that part of town (The plans were here produced).

Mr. C. Dickenson here produced the notice which he had prepared. On submitting it to the Magistrates' Clerk he declared it to be informal, as it did not contain the occupation of the applicant.

The application was withdrawn.
