Folkestone Herald 9-1-1915

Correction

We desire to apologise for the insertion in our issue of 28^th November, 1914, of an erroneous report of application for transfer of the Swan Inn, Folkestone, in which we wrongly stated that “the Bench decided that Mr. Butler (the applicant) was not a suitable person”.

We desire to state that the application was withdrawn by the holder of the licence, and the question of Mr. Butler`s fitness did not arise before the Justices.
