The Licensing Court of 1895 heard an objection to the renewal of the license for the Prince Of Wales, High Street. The objection was that the value of the property was insufficient. Mr. W. T. Smith, on behalf of the Vigilance Committee attempted to prove incompetence on behalf of the architect called by the applicant, when Mr. Blackhurst caused loud laughter by asking the witness if he had valued the house for the Vigilance Committee, to which he applied in the affirmative!
The licence was renewed.
