The Annual Licensing Session was held at the Town Hall
on Wednesday, the magistrates on the Bench being Dr. Bateman (in the chair),
Capt. Crowe, J. Jeffreason Esq., and Alds. Hoad and Caister.
Mr. Minter applied for a license for T.W. Cobb to sell
ale and spirits in a house in the course of erection in the Canterbury Road,
and urged as the chief ground for granting the same the number of houses lately
erected in the locality.
Mr. Mowll opposed on behalf of Mr. Langton, and Mr.
Cobb admitted, in examination, that he did not intend to reside in the house
himself.
Application refused.
Mr. Cobb asked for leave to sell off the premises,
which was granted.

Annual Licensing Session
Application For New License:
Mr. Minter applied on behalf of Mr. T.W. Cobb for an
ale and spirit license for a house in course of erection by Mr. T.W. Cobb in
the Canterbury Road. He urged that there were a number of houses being built in
the locality, of many of which Mr. Cobb is the owner or lessee, and the house
for which he applied for a license is at the corner of a new road recently laid
out. There was, Mr. Minter said, a great want of a licensed house there, and as
there were many more houses to be erected the want would become greater. He put
in a plan showing the buildings.
Mr. Mowll, who opposed on behalf of Mr. Langton and
others, asked if the existing public houses were marked upon it, to which
Alderman Caister replied that he did not think they were.
Mr. Minter said the only public houses near were the
Wheatsheaf and the Three Bells (sic), and these were not in the immediate
neighbourhood of the house for which he was asking for a license, nor were they
of a character to afford the accommodation which was required.
Mr. Cobb was called, and said he was the owner of a
large quantity of land in the neighbourhood, on which there were about 70
houses built opposite to the house for which they were applying for a license.
There were 110 plots altogether, and only ten remained unsold. The house for
which he asked for a license would be completed in a month. The plans had been
approved by the Corporation, it had cost a thousand pounds, and would be of the
annual value of fifty pounds. It would have a public bar and club rooms.
In cross-examination by Mr. Mowll, witness said he
carried on several businesses already. The Wheatsheaf was a long distance off –
not in sight; and the Railway Bell also. The Royal standard he did not know,
and the Two Bells was not near. He had a memorial, but did not think it was of
a great weight. He intended to occupy the premises himself and carry on the
business, but not to reside in the house. One of his men would conduct the
business.
Mr. Mowll urged that it was against the practice of the
Bench to grant a license to an applicant who was not personally intending to
hold it, or when it was not shown there was an actual want of accommodation,
which there certainly was not in that case.
The Bench retired to consider the application, and on
their return the chairman announced that they had decided to refuse the
application.
Mr. Cobb then applied for a license to sell off the
premises, which was granted.

Application For New Licence
Thomas Harvey Parks, owner and occupier of the
Alexandra Tavern, New Bridge Street, applied for a full license. Mr. Ward
supported the application. He said the premises were very commodious and
suitable for the business, and also put in a memorial in favour of it.
Mr. Mowll, who opposed, said there were half a dozen
other licensed houses in the neighbourhood.
The Chairman said the Bench were unanimously of opinion
that there were already too many licenses, and it was only under very
exceptional circumstances that they would be inclined to grant another. The
application would be refused.

Licensing Meeting
An adjourned
licensing meeting was held at the Town Hall, Folkestone, on Wednesday morning,
the magistrates present being Dr. Bateman, Alderman Caister, Messrs. J. Clark,
F. Boykett, and J. Holden.
Abraham Huntley,
of the Agnes Inn, 15, Broadmead Road, applied for a licence to sell beer and
porter on his premises, he already having an off licence. Mr. Mowll and Mr.
Ward appeared on behalf of Huntley, and the former gentleman, in supporting the
application, explained that he did not think there was any opposition to the
granting of the licence, as it was a fair and proper case for their decision.
It was not an application for a new licence, as Huntley already had an off licence.
The applicant’s premises were situated close to three or four brickfields, the
gasworks, and a large market garden, as well as close to a road from the hills.
Thomas Henry
Parks, of the Alexandra Tavern, New Bridge Street, also applied for a licence
to sell beer and porter to be consumed on the premises. Mr. Ward, who appeared
on behalf of the applicant, said Parks had resided for some time in New Bridge
Street at the bottom of Alexandra Street, and had every accommodation for an
indoor licence.
Mr. Mowll, who
opposed the application, said there were about half-a-dozen public-houses
within 200 yards of the
Alexandra.
The Bench were of
a unanimous opinion that there was no reason for granting either of the
applications. They considered that there were already too many licensed houses,
and only under exceptional circumstances would they grant another. They,
however, regretted not being able to grant the applications because both
applicants were very respectable men.

Thomas Henry Parks also applied for a licence to sell beer and porter on his premises, the Alexandra Tavern, and he produced a memorial in his favour, signed by 43 persons. Mr. Ward appeared on his behalf, and Mr. Mowll against him, the latter saying there were half a dozen houses within 200 yards of the Alexandra.
The Bench were of a unanimous opinion that there was no reason for granting either of the cases, and considered that there were already too many licensed houses, and only under exceptional circumstances would they grant another.

Chronicle 3-7-1886
Saturday, June 26th: Before J. Clark Esq.,
Aldermen Caister and Sherwood, J. Fitness and J. Holden Esqs.
William Linnell, 17, giving the address of 9, Baldwin
Street, City Road, London, George Walker, 13, Grove Lane, Canterbury, and
Frederick William Lawrence, 11, belonging to Folkestone, were charged with
stealing two asses, two carts, two sets of harness, a bridle &c., the
property of Thomas Parkes, Alexandra Tavern, Bridge Street.
The prisoners were remanded from Saturday, and
according to the evidence elicited the property in question was safe in
prosecutor`s stable on Wednesday evening week, but on going to the stable,
which is situated at East Cliff apart from any building, on the following
Friday, he found that they had been taken away. He knew the prisoner Lawrence,
who had been in the habit of riding the donkeys to his stables with other boys.
Information having been given to the police, the stolen property was traced to
Playden Rye, and Richard Hills, machinist of that place, stated that he sent
the two prisoners, Walker and Lawrence, there with the property, and they
offered him the best cart, harness, and donkey for £2, saying that they came
from Gravesend.
William Ralph, dealer, Rye, stated that the two
prisoners offered him the same for 25s., and he was about to buy when he saw
the harness was new, declining the purchase, and thinking something was wrong,
gave information to the police. A constable of the Kent County Police went in
search of the boys and found them with the donkey &c., and in answer to a
question Walker said they belonged to their father. Then the prisoner Linnell
appeared on the scene, and said prisoners had stolen the donkeys that morning
from Folkestone at 3 o`clock. Williams replied “You put us up to the dodge to
steal them and helped put on the harness”.
P.C. Gosby deposed to seeing Linnell riding with the
other prisoners in the cart along Sandgate at 4 a.m. in the morning.
Linnell and Walker made statements to the Bench, but as
neither of them pleaded Guilty they were committed for trial to the Quarter
Sessions.

Friday, June 25th: Before J. Clark Esq.,
Aldermen Caister and Sherwood
William Linnell, 17, giving the address of 9, Baldwin
Street, City Road, London, George Walker, 13, of Grove Lane, Westgate,
Canterbury, and Frederick William Lawrence, 11, belonging to Folkestone, were
severally charged with stealing two asses, two carts, two sets of harness, a
bridle &c., the property of Mr. Thomas Parkes, of the value of £15.
Thomas Parkes, of Alexandra Tavern, said: I have a stable
on East Cliff, Folkestone, standing in a field apart from other buildings. I
had there on Wednesday evening two donkeys. I saw them there in the stable
about nine o`clock when I left. There were also two carts, two sets of harness
and a bridle there. I returned to the stable yesterday morning just before six
o`clock. I then missed the property, and gave information to the police of my
loss. The stable was not locked. There is no public path there. I leave the
lower door open so that cattle may walk in if there is bad weather. It is my
custom to do so. The value of the property is about £15. I know the younger
prisoner. He has been in the habit of riding the donkeys to the stables with my
boys. The other prisoners are strangers.
Sergeant Butcher said: I received information of this
robbery yesterday morning, and went in search of the prisoners. I traced them
to the police station at Rye, where they were in the custody of the police. I
did not see the donkeys and other things. I charged them with stealing the
property, and subsequently Walker said, pointing to Linnell, “He told us to
take them, and told us that they belonged to his incle, and that he was going
to take them to Hastings and sell them”. The property is now at Playden, near
Rye.
Superintendent Taylor asked for a remand to the next
day as the donkeys could not travel back last night.
Prisoners were remanded to Saturday.
Saturday, June 26th: Before J. Clark Esq.,
Aldermen Caister and Sherwood, J. Fitness and J. Holden Esqs.
The three boys charged with stealing two donkeys
&c., were placed in the dock.
Thomas Parkes said: I went to Rye yesterday. I took a
lad with me to a place called Playden. I saw my donkeys and carts there at a
public house. I received possession of them from a police constable in the
presence of Sergeant Butcher.
Henry Hills, sworn, said: I live at Playden, near Rye,
and am a machinist. At four o`clock on Thursday afternoon the two prisoners,
Walker and Lawrence, stopped opposite my place with the donkeys and carts. I
asked them where they came from, and Walker said “Gravesend”. I asked if anyone
was going to meet them and they said “No”. They offered me a collar which they
had in one of the carts for 2d., and the best cart, donkey and harness for £2.
I asked where they were going, and afterwards saw them going towards Rye.
Walker cross-examined witness as to whether it was not
a little girl who said the donkey and cart was £2.
Witness said that Walker offered to sell it for that
amount.
In cross-examination witness said they took the donkeys
out on the green, and afterwards harnessed them again and went to Rye.
William Ralph, dealer, living at Rye, said: On Thursday
afternoon I saw the two prisoners, Walker and Lawrence, opposite the house of
the last witness, with the donkeys and carts. Walker offered to sell a collar
for fourpence, and he afterwards offered one of the donkeys and cart for 25s. I
took out my money to buy it, and asked him where he got it from. They said they
belonged to Hastings, where they sold wood. Walker said the donkey belonged to
his brother, Jem. When I saw the harness was new I was afraid to buy it, and
went and gave information to the police. The smallest prisoner had possession
of one donkey and cart.
A constable of the East Sussex County Police Force
said: I am stationed at Playden, in the borough of Rye. From information I
received I went in search of the boys, and found Walker and Lawrence, each with
a donkey and cart outside the borough, on the road. I asked them how they came
in possession of the property, and Walker said they belonged to his father. I
asked who his father was. He said he was going to meet him at Rye, outside a
shop. Lawrence said he had no father or mother, but that Walker`s father had
taken compassion on him and was keeping him, and that they were going to
Hastings to let the donkeys out for hire. The prisoner Linnell then came along
the road, and I thought he looked at them as if he knew them, and I asked if he
was acquainted with the other boys. He said they stole the donkeys from
Folkestone that morning at half past three o`clock. Walker then said to Linnell
“You put us up to the dodge, and helped put on the harness”. Linnell said
“Don`t you believe them, sir”. I took the three of them into custody at Rye,
and detained them in the lock-up. A few minutes afterwards a telegram came to
Rye from Superintendent Taylor stating that the property was stolen. I
afterwards handed the prisoners over to the custody of Sergeant Butcher.
P.C. Gosby said: I was on duty on Thursday morning
about 4.30, and saw the prisoners come up Earl`s Avenue with the donkeys and
carts, and they went towards Sandgate. I recognise prisoners Linnell and
Lawrence. Linnell was driving the first cart.
William Linnell was then charged by himself, and
pleaded Not Guilty.
The Magistrates` Clerk asked him if he understood that
he would have to go to the Quarter Sessions for trial, when he said he wanted
to say something against the others.
All three prisoners were then charged together, when
Linnell said that he had met Walker on Monday morning, and found that he had
slept out. He also said that he did not drive the donkeys at all – the other
prisoners drove them – and when they got past the schools he got out of the
cart because Walker swore, and he had walked right down to Rye, and there saw
the other two talking to the policeman.
Walker said that Linnell did drive the donkeys, but not
very far.
Lawrence said nothing.
Prisoners were committed for trial at the Quarter
Sessions on the 9th July.

Folkestone Police Court
On Saturday Mr. John Marsh made an application for a
temporary off beer and wine licence to sell at the Alexandra Tavern. It
appeared that the applicant had been already selling.
Chief Constable Reeve protested against this sort of thing.
He did not think it right that these houses should change hands and not come to
his knowledge. He had never heard of such a thing elsewhere. He did not object
to the applicant personally, but to the system introduced.
Applicant said that the agent told him that he might go on
selling.
The Chairman of the Bench said that Mr. Marsh had given no
notice and had been selling without a licence. He had laid himself open to a
penalty. He had better renew his application on Wednesday. The applicant was
also told not to sell in the meantime.
On Wednesday Mr. John Marsh renewed his application for a
temporary off licence of the Alexandra Tavern.
Chief Constable Reeve explained that the representative of
the brewers had called upon him, explaining that it was quite his fault, and
promised that in future no person should be put in unless permission was obtained
to do so. He had no objection to the applicant.
The licence was granted.
Note: Date is at variance with More

John Marsh renewed his application for an off licence to
sell liquor at the Alexandra Tavern.
The Chief Constable explained that this was the case in
which, in consequence of his not being advised that the applicant had been
selling before applying for the licence, he had opposed on Saturday last. In
the meantime, the brewer`s agent had called and assured him he alone was
responsible for the irregularity. The fault was his, and not that of the
applicant.
Mr. Marsh had excellent testimonials, and the licence was
granted.
