Licence renewal deferred at the sessions held Friday
10th February 1905 on the grounds of redundancy.
Tenant Arthur Lee was instructed to attend the next meeting to state why the licence should be
renewed.
On Friday 23rd June 1905 the Renewal Authority took into account that,
(1) There were an excessive number of houses, a population of 303 shared
three houses, one licence for every 104 people. (2) The house was in a
remote location. (3) There had been three tenants within two years. (4)
This was a beerhouse whilst the other two were fully licensed. (5) There
was no evidence adduced to the trade done, leaving the justices to
conclude that it was of small extent.
Superintendent Southgate gave his opinion that the house was not
required.
Anna Spink, life tenant of the house, said that Youngs and Crawshay had
supplied the house for 28 years and paid her £35 for the house and land.
If the licence were taken away, she could not expect much more than £10
a year. The house had been in possession of the owner's family for 143
years.
In support of the licence it was said that there was no redundancy in
the locality and the tenant was able to make a living from the house and
some land attached to it. Beer sales had been 57 barrels in the last
eleven months.
Licence refused.
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.
