RENEWAL OF LICENCE
Thomas Winstanley, Fox and Duck, Croft Street,
applied for the renewal of his licence before the Mayor,
G. Sidgreaves, and R. Pedder Esqrs. He had been fined 
on two previous occasions, once for an offence against the
Sunday Act, and the second occasion for refusing to admit
the police.

Mr. Dunn stated that he had made every enquiry into the 
character of the applicant, and that he could find no fault
whatever against him. He had kept his house very properly,
and how he had managed to commit the offences for which
his licence had been suspended, he could not tell.

Winstanley promises faithfully that if his licence was renewed 
he would endeavour to prevent similar offences occurring 
again. The licence was granted.
