Superintendent Palmer complained about the landlord of the Bridge Inn,
Monday 6th February 1905. A private party had been arranged in December
and the Superintendent had sent an officer to advise that persons could
not be allowed to be customers to 10 o'clock and then made private
friends afterwards. On the night, a constable had visited the house and
found persons who had been in the house before 10 o'clock, gathered in
the club room. It turned out that a ball had been arranged and tickets
sold for 6d each. The constable cleared the room.
Being the first licence he had held, the landlord said he thought it in
order to allow his visitors into the club room to dance.
It seems the licence was temporarily renewed until a later Sessions.
