Application For New License:
House In St. John`s Road
Mr. Minter applied on behalf of Mr. George Thomas Tyas
for a beer license for a house in St. John`s Road, in the immediate neighbourhood
of the Bradstone Hall.
Applicant said he was the owner of the house at the
corner of St. John`s Road, in the Bradstone Road, now used as a pork shop, and
all the residents in the neighbourhood had signed in favour of a license being
granted. He said he should not have applied for a license if he had known what
else to do with the house.
Mr. Minter`s application caused some amusement after
the arguments he had used against the last application (Note: This was for the
Bradstone Hall), and Mr. Mowll, who opposed, said Mr. Minter had relieved him
from making any observations on the application.
The Bench retired to consider the application, and on
their return the chairman announced that they had decided to refuse the
application.
Mr. Tyas then applied for a license to sell off the
premises, which was granted.

Mrs. Alice Owen Tyas applied for a license for the Bradstone

rooms in the house. Her husband had applied two or three times previously for a
license. The neighbourhood had been growing ever since, and it would be a great
convenience.
Mr. Mowll opposed, urging that the wants of the
neighbourhood were sufficiently supplied, and the Bench decided not to grant an
indoor license, but renewed the off license.

Aleck Owen Tyas, of the Bradstone Tavern, Bradstone Road,
applied for a full licence. Mr. Minter handed in a memorial numerously signed
in favour of the lioence being granted.
Mr. Mowll opposed the application on the grounds that this
was not a new locality and that the wants of the neighbourhood were
sufficiently supplied by the existing houses. The Bench refused the licence.

Mr. Minter supported the application of Mrs. Tyas for a full licence for the Bradstone Tavern. The application, he believed, was unopposed. Mr. Mowll said that was not so. Mr. Minter thought it was very ungallant to oppose the application. Mrs. Tyas said the value was £35 a year. Her husband applied last year for the licence and since that time she had lost her husband. Mr. Mowll submitted it was not a case where the wants of the neighbourhood were not properly supplied. The application was refused

Annual Licensing Session
This session was
held on Wednesday.
On the
application for new licences (indoor) being made by Mr. Abraham Huntley, Agnes
Inn, Broadmead Road, and Mrs. Tyas, the Bradstone Tavern, St. John’s Road, Mr.
Mowll, who appeared on behalf of both applicants, asked if Mr. Holden intended
to sit on the bench during the hearing of these applications, as he (Mr. Mowll)
saw that he wore the badge of the Blue Ribbon Army. He could not bring to bear
upon the cases that fair and unbiased judgment that a gentleman who did not
belong to the Blue Ribbon Army could; and therefore, on behalf of the two
applicants he supported, he entered his protest against Mr. Holden’s presence.
Mr. Clark, who
occupied the chair, said he was also a member of the Blue Ribbon Army, although
he did not happen to be wearing it that morning. If it were considered that he
would not act fairly he was willing to retire, but he could assure them that it
would make no difference to him.
Mr. Mowll asked
if the cases might be adjourned. He had known the chairman and had found him to
be of a fair and unbiased mind, but when a chairman took a strong view in
connection with a matter, it was only in common sense for him to protest. He
was sorry to make any remarks about the Bench, but he was sure they would wish
to avoid even the appearance of evil. He would ask those on the Bench who were
members of the Blue Ribbon Army to retire.
Mr. Holden said
he had been a teetotaller for several years, and had never been objected to
before.
Mr. Bradley said
there was no legal objection to Mr. Holden remaining on the bench, but he
thought Mr. Mowll was quite right in making the protest.
Mr. Mowll farther
said that some of the magistrates were not present that morning because they
were holders of licences, or were interested in them, and they thought it might
be considered they would be biased. He thought that the same thing would hold
good in connection with the Blue Ribbon Army. Therefore he asked that the two
applications should be adjourned.
Mr. Holden said
that Mr. Mowll, having made the remarks he had, he (Mr. Holden) should be
present at the adjournment.
In the end both
oases were adjourned.

John William Hetheridge and Arthur Pay, two boys who
are well known to the police, were charged with stealing a till, containing £2
11s. 8d. in money, and a purse from the Bradstone Tavern, the property of
Thomas Wilson, on the 27th July.
Hetheridge pleaded Guilty to stealing the till, and Day
pleaded Guilty to being concerned in the robbery.
P.C. Butcher said he went to Hetheridge`s house on
Tuesday night. He found the prisoner in bed in a room upstairs. He awoke him
and asked him if anyone occupied the room besides himself. He replied “No”, and
witness told him to get up and dress himself. He complied, and witness searched
the room. Under a mattress he found a leather purse containing £1 11s. 6d.
Witness charged him with stealing the till from the Bradstone Tavern. He said
“Yes”. Witness opened the purse and showed him the coins, and asked him if that
were some of the money. He said it was. Witness accompanied him to a shed in a
meadow near the Black Bull. When they got there the prisoner shouted out
“Arthur, come out. It`s no use, old man, we`re caught”. Pay came out of the
shed and witness charged him with being concerned in the robbery. He brought
them to the police station, where he searched Pay and found £1 0s. 4¾d., which
was in a purse. On Wednesday evening he found the till in a meadow near the
Pavilion Gardens, hidden up behind some pea sticks. He took it to the Bradstone
Tavern, where it was identified by Wilson.
Thomas Wilson, landlord of the Bradstone Tavern, said
he knew the boy Hetheridge, who attempted to rob the till twelve months ago. He
saw him in the bar on Monday evening for some sweets. He put the money in the
till, and the prisoner saw him. The counter was about four feet high. Witness
saw the till safe at half past ten in the evening, and missed it about ten
minutes afterwards. In the meantime he had left the bar. He did not know
exactly how much there was in the till – about £3, he thought. There was a
purse in the till.
It transpired that Pay had absconded from an Industrial
School, and they were both remanded in order that enquiries might be made into
their antecedents.

Joseph Etheridge (16) and Arthur Pay (14) were charged
with stealing a till and £2 11s. 8¼d. from the Bradstone Tavern on Monday
evening.
Sergt. Butcher said about 10.30 he went to No. 6,
Young`s Road, occupied by a man named Crumby, where Mrs. Etheridge and her son
lodged. He found Etheridge there in a room on the first floor. He was asleep.
He asked if anyone else occupied the room, and he said “No”. He told him to get
up and dress himself, and he did so. Witness searched the room, and under the
mattress he found a purse containing £1 11s. 3½d., comprising three florins, a
crown piece, 26 sixpences, 25 threepenny bits, 7 halpennies and 36 farthings.
Etheridge, when charged with stealing a till from the Bradsone Tavern, said
“Yes”. He asked him if that was all, and he said “No, the Pay boy had some”. He
went with the prisoner to a shed in a meadow near the Black Bull, and Etheridge
called out “Arthur, come out. It`s no good, old man. We`re caught”. Pay came
out and was charged with being concerned with the prisoner in the robbery at
the Bradstone Tavern. At the police station he found on Pay a purse containing
£1 0s. 4½d. That morning he found the till in a meadow between the Pavilion
Gardens and the Viaduct hid behind some pea sticks. He took it to the Bradstone
Tavern and Mr. Wilson identified it.
Thomas Wilson said he knew Etheridge, and saw him in
his shop at five o`clock on Monday evening. The till was under the counter near
the beer engine. It was safe at half past ten on Monday evening, and ten
minutes after he missed it. The shop had been left unattended for about five
minutes. The till contained about £3. In a purse was half a sovereign – the
other money was in silver and bronze. The till produced he identified as the
one he lost.
The prisoners pleaded Guilty. Etheridge, it appeared,
had absconded from an industrial school, and Pay ran away from home. They were
both remanded until Saturday in order that further enquiries might be made.
