Hythe Petty Sessions
Thursday, August 9th: Before Capt. Mansell and W.
Wightwick and A.S. Jones Esqs.
William Hobday, a carter in the employ of Messrs. Mackeson
and Co., brewers, Hythe, was summoned for unlawfully obstructing Risborough
Lane. He pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Haines appeared for defendant.
Sergt. Amos Stone deposed that about 10.10 a.m. he was in
Risborough Lane, and saw defendant`s cart with many barrels opposite the Unity
public house. He kept observations for thirty minutes, and during that time
defendant was down in the cellar and did not go to his cart once. All carts and
traffic had to go on the wrong side of the road. The cart caused an
obstruction. The road was only about 14 feet wide where the obstruction was
caused.
A fine of 5s. and 9s. costs was inflicted.

Notes
The Unity Inn in Risborough Lane some time ago became War
Department property, and the authorities at Shorncliffe Camp have now allowed
the licence to lapse. General Hallam Parr has conceived the idea that it would
be a splendid thing to convert the old inn into a coffee palace. The structural
alterations will cost several hundreds of pounds, and the Commandant has
appealed for monetary assistance in this work, which is really a work of
Temperance.
The coffee palace would be used by soldiers, and mechanics
who are employed on the Camp, and it is proposed that dinners would be
provided, while there would also be reading rooms and rooms for recreation. The
idea is a capital one, and should receive the heartiest support from all who
desire to promote the cause of Temperance.
