Pring, of Exeter, applied for the permanent transfer of the White Hart Hotel, Moretonhampstead, from Mr. G. P. Brook, to himself, as a partner in the firm of Messrs. Pring and Norman, the owners of the license. He stated that it was proposed to put a manageress in charge of the hotel, for the time being until a proper tenant could be found … (discussion) …  Mr. A. W. Alford (Exeter) applied for the transfer of the license of the King’s Arms Inn, Chagford, from Mr. T. Maddicks to Mr. F. Jenner, a commercial traveller. Superintendent Carey objected to the licence being transferred to Mr. Jenner. He said he had been summoned for drunkenness and discharged with a caution and was not fit and proper person to hold the licence. … (discussion) … The Chairman: It is wrong: People have been in the house selling without a license. You have anticipated things in the hope of getting a transfer – altogether irregular and an offence. Mr. Alford: There was no intention of that king. The Chairman (to Mr. Pinsent, the owner): Have you been a party to this man, Jenner, going in before he had a license? Mr. Pinsent, yes: It is irregular? Yes, I know: Are you satisfied with him? I was not asked anything about it. It was not done through my agents at all, but between Exeter and Plymouth. I can only go by his testimonials: The transfer was granted.
