Annual Licensing Sessions
Wednesday, February 9th: Before The Mayor,
Lieut. Col. Hamilton, Major Leggett, Lieut. Col. Fynmore, Messrs. E.T. Ward, J.
Stainer, and R.J. Linton.
The Chief Constable (Mr. H. Reeve) submitted his annual
report as follows:- Gentlemen, I have the honour to report that there are at
present within your jurisdiction 125 premises for the sale by retail of
intoxicating liquors, viz: Full licences, 76; beer “on”, 7; beer “off”, 6; beer
and spirit dealers, 15; grocers, etc., 11; chemists, 7; confectioners, 3;
total, 125.
This gives an average, according to the Census of 1901,
of one licence to every 245 persons, or one “on” licence to every 369 persons.
There are two other houses licensed by the Inland Revenue
for the sale of beer, wine and spirits off the premises, under the provisions
of the Excise Acts, for which no Magistrates` certificate is required.
Since the last annual licensing meeting ten of the
licences have been transferred.
Five occasional licences have been granted for the sale
of drink on premises not ordinarily licensed for such sale, and 45 extensions
of the usual time of closing have been granted to licence holders when balls,
dinners, etc., were being held on their premises.
During the year ended 31st December last 93
persons (73 males and 20 females) were proceeded against for drunkenness.
Ninety were convicted and three discharged.
This, I am pleased to report, is a decrease of 14
persons proceeded against as compared with the preceding year, and a decrease
of 32 persons proceeded against when compared with 1907.
Of those proceeded against 38 were residents of the
borough, 10 residents of other districts, 36 of no fixed abode, and 9 soldiers.
Since the last annual meeting two licence holders have
been convicted, namely: One permitting gambling – fined £5 and costs; one
permitting drunkenness – fined 40/- and costs. In the latter case notice of
appeal against the conviction has been given, and will be dealt with by the
Recorder at the next Quarter Sessions.
Fourteen clubs where intoxicating liquor is sold are
registered in accordance with the Act of 1902. These clubs have a total
membership of 3,063, an increase of three clubs and an increase of 1,261
members, as compared with 1903, the year in which clubs were first registered.
There are 17 places licensed for music and dancing, and
three for public billiard playing.
I am pleased to report that with very few exceptions
the licensed houses during the past year have been conducted in a satisfactory
manner.
I have received notice of two applications to be made
at these sessions to sell beer off the premises.
I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant.
The licences were then renewed, with the exception of
the Chequers Inn, Seagate Street (Walter Howlett), Rose Hotel, Rendezvous
Street (Percy William John Hunt), and the Wellington (Charles William Copping
Skinner), which were deferred to the adjourned licensing sessions on March 7th.
