Exeter Licenses: Compensation Authority Meeting: Extraordinary Discovery: A meeting of the Exeter Compensation Authority was held yesterday at the Police Court. … . Mr. W. H. Tarbet informed the Authority that in regard to the Ship Inn and Royal Oak, the award of the Commissioners was accepted, and put before the Bench the agreements arrived at as to the amounts. Mr. Parkhouse, landlord of the Ship Inn, answering questions, said he had been a tenant of the house for the past eight years. He could not say precisely what his profits were, but he estimated them at about £2 a week on the liquors alone, exclusive of the yard, etc. and claimed £70 as his proportion of the compensation. That was the sum arrived at between the owner, Mr. Pinsent, and himself. (Half of this amount he put down to depreciation in the value of the fixtures.) In regard to the Royal Oak, the tenant, Mr. Heyward, said he claimed £131. He put down his profits on the sale of liquor at from £1 18s to £2 7s 6d weekly. The Chairman said that in the case of the Royal Oak the Excise Authorities had awarded £1,543, and the Bench now directed that of this amount the tenant should receive £198 10s. As to the Ship, the award was £840, and the amount desired to go to the tenant was £139. Mr. Tarbet asked the Bench to state a case if he decided to appeal. The Chairman said they would consider such an application if made. Mr. Tarbet asked upon what basis the Authority had acted in awarding the tenants’ compensation. The Chairman said Mr. Tarbet had better have a talk with their clerk on the matter. Mr. Tarbet announced that in the case of the Pack Horse Inn, St. Thomas, he had given notice of appeal, so that it was unnecessary to assess the compensation.
