Royal George 1915 - 1919
Folkestone
Express 5-6-1915
Tuesday, June 1st: Before E.T. Ward Esq.,
and other Magistrates.
George Henry Dowson, of the Royal George Hotel, was
summoned for failing to obscure a light so as to prevent it shedding rays of
light outside, and pleaded Guilty.
P.C. Johnson said at 8.55 p.m. on May 18th
he saw a bright light burning from the Royal George Hotel, Beach Street, and it
was showing across the road. He saw the defendant and told him he had a bright
light showing on the north east side of the house, and he said “---- the light.
One called the other night”. When asked for his name he said “Find out”. The
light was on the second floor.
Defendant denied that he swore when the constable saw
him. He further said he was sure that he had no light burning when the
constable called, so he asked him to show him where the light was. He went
round the corner, and he then saw it was in a room occupied by a commercial.
A fine of 10/- was imposed.
