Tuesday, September 30th: Before Mr. G.I.
Swoffer, Councillors A. Stace, G. Boyd, C.E. Mumford and E.T. Morrison, Dr.
Nuttall and Mr. L.G.A. Collins.
Mrs. Annie Arthur, landlady of the Star and Garter
beerhouse, Harvey Street, was summoned for having sold one quart of stout to a
young woman for consumption off the premises at 9.30 p.m. on the 25th
September. The young woman was summoned for obtaining the stout. Both
defendants pleaded Guilty.
P.C. Budgen said he had been on duty in Harvey Street,
and seen a young woman enter the Star and Garter by a side entrance. After a
few minutes she left the premises with a quart bottle, and he asked her if she
had just got the beer. She replied “No, it`s stout”. Mrs. Arthur said she had
quite forgotten the Order, and the woman said she did not know of the
restriction.
Mrs. Arthur said she was very sorry, but she had quite
forgotten the Order for the minute, as she was busy listening to a conversation
in the bar.
The other defendant said she was not aware of the
restriction in time, as she was not in the habit of going for any beer.
Mr. Reeve (the Chief Constable) said Mrs. Arthur had
been at the Star and Garter for 26 years, and when her husband died eight years
ago she took the licence over. There had been no previous complaint against
her.
The Clerk said the woman could have bought the stout
for consumption on the premises up to ten o`clock, but she could not buy it for
consumption off the premises after nine o`clock.
The Bench fined Mrs. Arthur 10s., and dismissed the
other case.
