Licence renewal deferred at the sessions held Friday 10th February 1905 on the grounds of redundancy.
Tenant to attend next meeting to state why the licence should be renewed.

On Friday 10th March 1905, licence renewal was opposed by Superintendent Southgate. He said that the house was the central one of three and they served a population of 389. This was a beerhouse, but the other two were fully licensed. Mr. Barkway stated that the house had been run by his family for more than forty years.
Trade was said to be between 1¼ to 2 barrels a week.
The decision to renew the licence was deferred to the Quarter Sessions.

On Friday 23rd June 1905, it was heard that the house was doing a good trade of 75 barrels per year and that the justices had decided to provisionally renew the licence but refer it to the Compensation Authority.
The Bench were of the opinion that the licence must be refused on the grounds that (1)There were an excessive number of licensed houses, a population of 389 in 1901 gave one licence each to 129 persons. (2) this was a beerhouse, the other two were fully licensed. (3) This had the lowest rateable value. (4) The other two houses are only 234 yards apart, and this is midway between the two.
Tenant Benjamin Barkway said his family had been tenants for 50 years and sales were 1½ barrels of beer a week.

At the Harleston Brewster Sessions held Friday 9th February 1906 it was heard that the licence had been referred for Compensation in 1905 and the licence had been extinguished by the Quarter Sessions, however trade was still being carried on at that time. In consequence the licence was renewed.
