Annual Licensing Sessions
Wednesday, February 11th: Before The Mayor, Mr.
E.T. Ward, Mr. G.I. Swoffer, Councillor G. Boyd, Mr. J.H. Blamey, Councillor A.
Stace, Col. Owen, Rev. Epworth Thompson, Councillor Hollands, Councillor
Morrison, and Mr. L.G.A. Collins.
Mr. H. Reeve (the Chief Constable) presented the following
report: I have the honour to report that there are at present within your
jurisdiction 113 places licensed for the sale of intoxicating liquor by retail,
viz.; Full licences 70, beer on 7, beer off 6, beer and spirit dealers 15,
grocers, etc. off 6, confectioners wine on 8, confectioners wine off 6, a total
of 113. This gives an average, according to the Census of 1911, of one licence
to every 296 persons, or one on licence to every 495 persons. During the past
year 13 of the licences have been transferred. Since the last annual licensing
meeting the licensees of the undermentioned premises have been convicted as
follows: Prince of Wales Tavern, fined 10s. on 23rd May, for
allowing a child to be in the bar of his licensed premises; East Kent Arms,
fined 10s. on 29th August for supplying drink for consumption off
the premises after 9 p.m.; Star and Garter, fined 10s. on 30th
November for supplying intoxicating drink for consumption off the premises
after 9 p.m.; Globe Hotel, fined £10 on each of two summonses on 4th
December for charging more for whisky than the maximum price allowed under the
Order made by the Food Controller. During the year ended 31st
December, 46 persons (35 males and 11 females) were proceeded against for
drunkenness; 34 were convicted and 12 discharged after being cautioned by the
Bench. In the preceding year 26 persons (17 males and 9 females) were proceeded
against, of whom 14 were convicted and 12 discharged. The regulation of the
Liquor Control Board restricting the hours for the sale and consumption of
intoxicating liquor remains in force. Eleven clubs where intoxicating liquor is
supplied are registered under the Act. There are 24 premises licensed for music
and dancing, 2 for music only, and 2 for public billiard playing. Numerous
visits have been made by the police at irregular intervals during the year to
the licensed premises and places of entertainment, and I am pleased to report
that the houses generally have been conducted in a satisfactory manner.
The Mayor said the Magistrates had considered the report,
and they thought it very satisfactory. There had been a little increase in
drunkenness, but they hoped that would disappear again. With reference to the
licences, the Bench had decided to renew them all, except the Prince of Wales
Tavern, East Kent Arms, Star and Garter, and Globe Hotel, in consequence of new
legislation that might come on. The licences referred to would come up for
consideration at the adjourned meeting.
The adjourned sessions were fixed for the 10th March.
