Wednesday,
February 6th: Before The Mayor, R.W. Boarer, J. Clarke and J. Kelcey
Esqs.
Mr. Charles
Page, Harbour Inn, Harbour Street, pleaded Guilty to a charge of having his
house open during prohibited hours on Sunday, 4th instant.
P.C. Sharpe
said he went into the house about 12 o`clock Sunday, and saw several men
drinking at the bar. He spoke to Mrs. Page, who said she was sorry. The front
door was shut, but not fastened.
Mr. Page said
he must admit that his house was open. A train had just come in, and several
persons went into his house, and in his absence Mrs. Page served them. The
house was very quiet.
The Mayor
said defendant had rendered himself liable to a penalty of £5, but taking into
consideration that it was the first offence, and that a train had just arrived
and travellers were amongst those who were in the house, he would be fined £2
and 9s. costs.

William Cork
was charged with being in the Harbour Inn during prohibited hours on Sunday,
the 11th of February.
This was the
first conviction under the new Licensing Act, and defendant said he considered
that it was very unjust that he should be selected, as he was convinced there
were more than thirty people in the house drinking at the time, but who were
fortunate enough to escape the observation of the police.
The Bench
fined him 2s. 6d., and 9s. costs. The fine was paid.
Alexander
Maycock and James Seddons jun., were summoned for the same offence. They
pleaded guilty, and asked to be let off lightly. They were each fined 2s. 6d.
