Lighting
Order
Harry Powell, of the Royal Oak Inn, North Street, summoned at Folkestone
Police Court on Friday last week for a breach of the lighting restriction
regulations, told the Magistrates that he had been bombed out of his house and
had been given permission by the brewers to put some of his furniture in the
Earl Grey Inn, High Street, to prevent it getting wet. He thought he switched all the
lights off, but unless someone else had been in and left one on he could not
have done so.
P.C. Harman said at 8.15 p.m. on November 30th he was in High
Street when he saw a light shining from a first floor window at the Earl Grey,
the window being about 2ft. 6ins. wide, and open 12 inches at the bottom.
Defendant was fined £1.
