Newton Abbot: Petty Sessions: Application for a New License. Mr. Creed, on behalf of Mr. Nicholas Martyn, Shaldon, applied for a new license, and supported the ground of his application on the excellent accommodation he has for horses and carriages, superior to anything of the kind in the town. During the past 12 months he had 176 horses and carriages stop at his house, and many of the parties’ wanted refreshments, which he was unable to supply. Several witnesses were called in support of the application, a similar one to which was made the last licensing and refused. The Bench now ruled that under the construction of the new Act they had not the power to grant the license unless stronger reasons could be shown than on the last occasion, which the applicant was unable to produce. Application refused: Mr. John Ball Pinsent having given notice to apply for a license for his “Mirror” establishment in Queen Street accepted the decision in the last case applicable to him and withdrew his application.
