FAREHAM GENERAL ANNUAL LICENSING MEETING.

The General Annual Licensing Meeting for the petty-sessional division of Fareham, was held in the Sessions-room, Osborne-road, on Monday morning, when the justices present were the Rev. J. T. Main (chairman), F. Bradshaw, Esq., Captain Field, R.N., W. H. Deane, Esq., J. Carpenter Garnier, Esq., and the Hon. Captain Pakenham. The business of the meeting was confined to the granting of renewals to existing spirit houses and to the hearing of applications for new spirit licenses. Not a single complaint was made by Mr. Superintendent Drew, and the licenses for 81 houses, in various parts of the division, were renewed without opposition.

THE “COACH AND HORSES,” AT HILSEA.—Mr. H. Ford applied for a permanent licence for the “Coach and Horses,” public-house, situate near the turnpike gate, on the new London-road. He said it would be in the recollection of the magistrates that some time ago the “Coach and Horses,” public-house, which had stood for many years on the old London-road, was burnt down. Other premises had been erected on the new London-road, and the magistrates in petty session had granted a temporary transfer of the license to the new premises. He now asked them to grant a permanent transfer.—The bench at once acceded to Mr. Ford’s application.
