Transfer of Licences
Yesterday several of the borough magistrates, [John HOLMES Esq, chairman], sat in the Sessions House, Chapel St, to hear applications for the transfer of licenses. In an application for a transfer from George CUNNINGHAM to Henry BELLION, the house being in Pembroke Place, the applicant was questioned by the magistrates whether he was the person really interested in the house. The applicant replied, after some hesitation, that the house was being taken for him Mr RIGBY, spirit merchant, Whitechapel. The magistrates wished to know why Mr RIGBY interested himself so far as to take the house for him, but the applicant said he could not say. Afterwards he said it had been done through Mr PRESTON, the distiller, with whom he had been in service with for 14yrs as a gardener. Ultimately the applicant said he was going to keep the house on his own account and reside in it himself and receive the profits. The transfer was then granted.
The application for a transfer from Richard HOLDEN to Harriett HAMPSON of a house in Plumbe St, was ordered to stand over, it having been elicited that the real proprietor of the house was a man named HUDSON, a pilot.
An application for a transfer of a house in Sefton St from Mary HILES to William DODD, was opposed by a publican named DODIN. The opposing party spoke of the licenses having been sold for £79 in October last, and also referred in a questionable way to a child said to belong to Mary HILES. He was proceeding with some further irrelevant remarks when, in reply to a question by the magistrate’s clerk, he admitted that his only objection was being a neighbour and in the same line of business, and that the transfer might do him injury. He was immediately silenced by being told he had no business to say anything. The transfer was granted.
One of the applications was for a transfer of a licensed house in Hill St, from Edward URMSON to Thomas BYRON. The magistrate made some inquiries respecting the license and elicited that the holder of it retained two licenses for some time back, one being in the name of his son, a youth not having yet left school. Such conduct was denounced from the bench, one of the magistrates calling the applicant a fraud. The transfer was refused.
