Folkestone Brewster Sessions
The annual licensing meeting for the Borough of
Folkestone was held at the Town Hall on Wednesday last, the sitting Justices at
the opening of the Court having been Captain Carter, Mr. Wightwick, Mr.
Fitness, Alderman Pledge, and County Alderman Herbert. The business was very
light, the existing licences being renewed in the absence of any complaint or
objection.
The Gun Brewery
Mr. Hall, solicitor, applied in respect of this
establishment. He stated that the concern had been sold recently, and that the
former Manager, Mr. Rogers, would continue to act in that capacity. Under these
circumstances the application was that the licence should be granted in the
name of Mr. Rogers.
The application was granted.

Annual Licensing Session
The annual meeting of the Borough Magistrates for the
purpose of granting and renewing licenses within the Borough was held on
Wednesday. There was some expectation that opposition was to be offered to the
renewal of the music and dancing licence for the Town Hall, but this year there
was no opposition of any kind whatever. Considering all that has taken place
within the past few months with regard to the Temperance party, this was
somewhat astonishing. In the neighbouring town on Dover on the previous day the
teetotallers succeeded in a slight degree, but at Folkestone no attempt
whatever was made to oppose any of the existing licences or the application for
new ones.
The Magistrates present were Captain Carter, Mr. J.
Fitness, Mr. W.G. Herbert, and Alderman Pledge.
Mr. F. Hall, solicitor, applied on behalf of the
proprietor of the Gun Brewery. The licence had formerly been granted to Mr.
George Belgrave, but Mr. Belgrave had sold the business a week or two ago to
another gentleman. Thus there was no time to serve the necessary notices, but
Mr. Belgrave`s manager, Mr. Rogers, was still manager for the new proprietor,
and he applied that for the time being the licence might be renewed in the name
of Mr. Rogers.
The Chairman said that the Bench would renew the
licence as applied for by Mr. Hall.
Superintendent Taylor, on the part of the police,
offered no opposition to the renewal of any of the existing licences, and there
was no opposition of any other kind. The Bench, therefore, renewed the whole of
the licences previously granted.
It is some years since the Annual Licensing Sessions
has been so quiet at Folkestone, and there being no complaint or opposition of
any kind shows that the licensed houses in the town are conducted in a careful
and satisfactory manner.

It would seem that it is not the mineral water
manufacturers alone who shall have to approach the Secretary of State for War
on the question of trade competition. It is stated that in connection with the
military canteens, a brewery is to be started at Folkestone, and that the
prospectus has been issued.
Local brewers and licensed victuallers will assuredly
be opposed to this, especially of the military brewery is to be allowed to
serve, as a private trade, the households of retired naval and military
officers.
We have not seen a prospectus, but if the business that
is intended to be done is to be allowed, there are many local tradesmen who
will suffer very considerably. Permission for this competition should not be
allowed. It must be borne in mind that the proposed brewery will be worked by
men in active service, and that the rental for the premises, which it is
proposed shall be on Government property, will be practically nil.
Considering the heavy rentals which local tradesmen
have to pay, and the wages payable to employees, it would be iniquitous if the
scheme as is proposed should be permitted.
The excise licence is a matter that the customs
authorities will doubtless deal with. But as we say it will be very detrimental
to local tradesmen if, considering the advantages proposed to be granted to the
New Military Company, if they were allowed to carry on a brewery concern, even
though the full licence was paid to the Inland Revenue. We shall doubtless hear
a good deal of this, not only locally but generally.
It is stated that Mr. Wyndham, M.P. for Dover, and Sir
Bevan Edwards, M.P. for Hythe, are to be asked to watch the interests of their
constituents in this matter on the reassembling of Parliament. The Hon.
Members, we are certain, will, when the opportunity presents itself, refer to
this in the House of Commons.

With reference to our notes last week about the new
brewery company, we are asked to state that the concern will be carried on by
the Army and Navy Co-Operative Brewery Breweries, Limited. Though it bears this
name, the business will be carried on by a private company, and will not be
worked on the lines we stated last week. This of course is a very different
thing from what we stated, and puts a different complexion on it altogether. We
have been favoured with a copy of the prospectus, and we have no doubt but the
new company will prove a successful undertaking.

County Court
Tuesday, May 18th: Before Judge Selfe.
The Army and Navy Breweries Co. Limited v J.H. Burton: Mr.
Richards, traveller for the plaintiffs, stated that the defendant was formerly
a publican and kept the Tramway Tavern. He got notice and had left now, the
brewers having found another tenant. He was not paid by salary, but merely
received a percentage on the profits of the drink sold. The previous week he
had drawn 18 shillings. At the time the spirits, for which the debt had been
incurred, were supplied, defendant was getting 15 shillings weekly by letting
lodgings, and had four or five men “snobbing” for him. He paid no rent. An
order for 5s. a month was made.

Army and Navy Co-Operative Brewery Company v J.H. Burton:
Defendant is a publican at the Tramway Tavern, and has notice to leave. He said
he was paid by profit on what he sold. He took 18s. last week. An agent of the
plaintiffs said defendant told him he took 14s. or 15s. a week for beds, and he
had four or five men “snobbing”.
Defendant said the debt was for spirits, which ought to have
been supplied by his own brewer.
Fresh order 5s. a month.

County Court
Tuesday, May 18th: Before Judge Selfe
The Army And Navy Co-operative Brewery Company Limited v
J.H. Burton: This claim was for spirits supplied.
The defendant was out of business now, but he had been a
publican – landlord of the Tramway tavern. He had notice to leave now as soon
as the brewers could find another tenant. He was there yet, but might have to
go the next day. He had no salary at all, merely the profits on what he sold,
and this came to about 18s. the previous week.
A traveller for the company, named Richards, said that at
the time when the goods were supplied the defendant said he was taking 15s. or
16s. a week by lodgers, and he employed four or five men.
His Honour made an order for 4s. a month.
