Signed W.T.Fooks, Sherborne, Solicitor

 

Newspaper report ?28.2.1884

Before Major Goodden; Major McAdam and Captain Carr Glyn

An application was made for a temporary authority to sell at the Fox Inn, Holwell – Mr Trevor Davies (magistrates' clerk) stated that the house was formerly kept by a Mrs Frizzell, deceased. No application was made for a temporary authority to sell, and, consequently, the license was suspended, and the house had been closed. The application before the magistrates was for a temporary authority to sell until the next transfer-day – Mr Archdall Ffooks said that he appeared on behalf of the ratepayers of Holwell to oppose the application; but he did not know if he had any locus standi, to object that day, or whether he must wait until the next Brewster Sessions. A memorial had been prepared and signed by a large number of the ratepayers of Holwell, to the effect that two public-houses were not required in the parish and also that, in their opinion, no public-house should be open on a Sunday. The memorial was addressed to their worships and given to the Magistrates' Clerk to lay before them. The Magistrates' Clerk, however, was of the opinion that the application was not in the proper form, but he (Mr Ffooks) wished to mention the matter in order to show the applicant that there was strong feeling that one public-house was sufficient for the parish. The memorialists had no personal objection to the applicant, Henry Lake. – In reply to the magistrates, it was stated that the population of Holwell was 417, and that there was one fully-licensed house in the parish. – Mr Davies said that he had received the memorial, but that the memorialists had no locus standi there that day. The objection must be taken to the annual Brester Sessions. – Major Goodden: We will grant the application now, but it will be reconsidered at the next Brewster Sessions.
