Welcome

Welcome to Even More Tales From The Tap Room.

Core dates and information on licensees tenure are taken from Martin Easdown and Eamonn Rooney`s two fine books on the pubs of Folkestone, Tales From The Tap Room and More Tales From The Tap Room - unfortunately now out of print. Dates for the tenure of licensees are taken from the very limited editions called Bastions Of The Bar and More Bastions Of The Bar, which were given free to very early purchasers of the books.

Easiest navigation of the site is by clicking on the PAGE of the pub you are looking for and following the links to the different sub-pages. Using the LABELS is, I`m afraid, not at all user-friendly.

Contrast Note

Whilst the above-mentioned books and supplements represent an enormous amount of research over many years, it is almost inevitable that further research will throw up some differences to the published works. Where these have been found, I have noted them. This is not intended to detract in any way from previous research, but merely to indicate that (possible) new information is available.

County Court

Clement Cowell v Samuel Baker: This was an action brought to recover 9s., the price of a firkin of ale supplied to the defendant by the plaintiff, who is a local brewer.

Defendant did not deny that he owed the money, but asserted that the plaintiff promised to outset the amount by purchasing bottles of him.

Plaintiff denied this, and His Honour gave a verdict against the defendant.

County Court

Saturday, March 12th: Before G. Russell Esq.

Clement J. Cowell v S. Baker: Plaintiff, a brewer, sued for the value of a firkin of ale, supplied in June, 1880. Defendant, a dealer, did not dispute having received the ale, but said it was an understanding that the amount was to be outset in bottles, plaintiff having told him he could take any quantity of “imperials”. He failed to satisfy His Honour on this point, and a verdict was given for the amount claimed.

Folkestone Express 20-5-1882

County Court

Saturday, May 13th: Before G. Russell Esq.

Cowell v Huntley: Claim for 10s. 6d., balance of a beer account. The case came on at the last court, but was adjourned in order that the defendant might have an opportunity of going through the plaintiff`s books. This, however, had not been done, the plaintiff refusing to allow the defendant to do so.

His Honour ordered the plaintiff to let the defendant go through his books then, and after a lapse of some little time they returned into court.

Mr. Mowll, who appeared for the defendant, said that his client had been charged £1 10s. a barrel for beer and disputed the claim on the ground that, according to a verbal agreement, the charge was only to be £1 7s. 6d.

The plaintiff stated that he had supplied the defendant with beer amounting to over £100, and that they had a verbal agreement that the charge for the beer should be £1 7s. 6d. per barrel for cash, and £1 10s. for credit. The present claim was for credit.

The defendant disputed this and stated that it was an agreement only for £1 7s. 6d. a barrel to be charged, and that when the invoices were sent in he told plaintiff that he should not pay 30s. a barrel.

The plaintiff said that it was a rule of the trade to charge 30s. for credit and £1 7s. 6d. for cash. They could find several of the defendant`s receipts with the 2s. 6d. taken off.

The receipts were then referred to, and the plaintiff found to be correct.

His Honour gave judgement for the plaintiff, with costs.
