Devon Licences County Committee Meet at the Castle of Exeter: The principal meeting of the Devon Licensing Committee was held at the Castle of Exeter on Monday, Lord Clifford presiding … … King’s Arms, Chagford: In the case of the King’s Arms, Chagford, the tenant was Mr. James John Crook; registered owners, Mrs. H. G. Collins, Chester, and Mr. E. Hooper, Tiverton-road, Exeter. Mr. Lawrance, who appeared for the justices, said this was a curious case. Mr. Crook was in the employ of Messrs. Pinsent, brewers of Newton Abbot, and did not live the premises. He came to the house sometimes at weekends, and he had a tenant named Frank George Rose. No explanation was given before the magistrates why this licensee did not live on the premises. It was a tied house, and the business was stated by Mr. Crook to be £20 a month gross. But the justices had reason to believe that was not more than £6 a month. No objection was offered to Mr. Tarbet, and the license was not renewed.
