The Liverpool Arms. The objection against the renewal of the license of the Liverpool Arms was next considered, Mr. W. Lewis retiring from his seat on the Bench. P.S. Davies said Sarah Williams was the licensee. The house was situated in Bridge-street, and the license was for six days. There were two rooms on the ground floor-a bar and parlour, and the latter was practically the front room of an adjoining house. The measurements of the bar were 12ft. 6inches by 9ft. 6ins., and the parlour 9ft. by 9ft. There were three bedrooms. The house had no yard and no back door. The area of the ground on which the house stood was 17ft. or 18ft. square. The rateable value of the house was £ 5 12s. 6d. The trade of the house was very fair. The nearest licensed house was the Castle Inn, Bridge End, and was about 100 yards distant. There were seven licensed houses within 200 yards of the Liverpool Arms. The Castle Inn had four rooms on the ground floor and five bed- rooms. It also had a large yard and large stables. The rateable value of the house was £ 15 5s. The Castle Inn was larger and more convenient, than the Liverpool Arms. In witness" opinion the Liverpool Arms was not required at all to meet the wants of the neighbourhood.
By Mr. R. W. Picton Evans: Witness had for two or three years considered that the house was not required, and that it was not convenient for farmers, but he had not objected to it previously.
The Chief Constable said the Sergeant had never objected to any house; the responsibility of objections laid with him (the Chief Constable) or the Bench.
Mr. Ivor Evans, solicitor, Cardigan, on behalf of the owners, elicited from the witness that the conduct of the house had been good, and that no complaint had ever been made in respect of it.
It was stated that beer was brewed at the house. The licensee said she would like to retain the license. She had been there seven years, and the trade was better now than when she went there. The Chairman said the Bench had decided to refer both houses for compensation on the ground that they were not required. Provisional, licenses would in the meantime be granted.
