DETECTIVE SERGEANT'S VISIT
TO PRESTON TAVERN.
At Preston Borough Police Court, today, MARY Wilkinson, 55, licensee of the Harrison Hill Tavern, Harrison Hill, Preston, was accused of supplying intoxicating liquor during non-permitted hours. Patrick McDonough, 64, labourer, Milton Street, Preston, was accused of aiding and abetting. The cases were dismissed on payment of costs, but Mr. Wilkinson was ordered to pay an advocate's fee of three guineas.
Mr. D. D. Bailey prosecuted and Mr. H. Fazackerley defended.
Mr. Bailey said that at 11.25pm on Friday May 31st detective Sergeant Baines was outside the Harrison Hill Tavern. He knocked at the door, and continued knocking for some time, but eventually decided to go away. Going away he saw someone leaving the side door of the premises. That 'someone' was later found to be McDonough. He came along carrying a jug of freshly drawn beer. D.S. Baines stopped him and asked him to return to the tavern where Mrs. Wilkinson admitted having served McDonough with beer.
Mr. Fazackerley submitted that the facts were rather extraordinary. McDonough worked for the Preston Corporation at Red Scar and did not finish until 10pm. He walked home that night, a of three or four miles, and passing the Harrison Hill Tavern he saw the licensee and her daughter chatting outside.
Knowing he had been out of work, Mrs. Wilkinson asked McDonough if he would like a drink and he said yes. At no time was there any question of payment.

BEER FOR SOLDIERS' SEND-OFF
Preston Court Story
BOTTLES FOUND UNDER WOMEN'S COATS
A "SEND-OFF" for two soldiers who were about to go off on active service was mentioned at Preston Borough Police Court today, when the licensee of the Harrison Hill Tavern, Harrison Hill, Thomas Murray (57), was summoned for selling or supplying intoxicating liquor, by agent, during non-permitted hours.
James Wilson Young (23), motor driver, living at the same address, Nellie Cardwell, (36), married woman, Moor Lane, Preston, and Margaret Banks (28), married woman, Atherton Street, Preston, were summoned for aiding and abetting.
After half an hour's consultation the magistrates decided that the evidence was not sufficient to prove agency, and the summons was dismissed. The other cases thereupon were withdrawn.
DOOR AJARpm., it does not do away with the offence. A person cannot go into a pub
Mr. R. Robinson, prosecuting, said about 11.20pm on September 26th, two members of the police war reserve noticed that the front door of the tavern was slightly ajar. They went inside and saw the two women defendants. Mrs. Cardwell had three bottles of beer under her coat.
When they were asked where they had got the beer from, one of them said it had been paid for before 10 o'clock. The defendant, Young, then came in and when he was asked why the women had the beer he did not reply. He had in his hand 5 shillings, which, he said, was change from a 10 shilling note for the beer.
Sunsequently he handed one of the officers 2 shillings, which, he said was additional change due to one of the women.
"Even if one does admit," continued Mr. Robinson, "that the beer was paid for before 10p., it does not do away with the offence. A person cannot go into a public house, p ay for beer, and take delivery after hours."
The licensee had not been present during these conversations, but eventually he came downstairs and said, "It is not with my consent."
It might well be added Mr. Robinson, that the licensee knew nothing about the beer being supplied, because he was in bed at the time, but the landlord was responsible for the actions of his agent.
One of the women, went on Mr. Robinson stated that they were giving some soldier friends who were going on active service, a good "send-off", and the police subsequently discovered that this was true.
Evidence was given by Inspector J. H. Ashworth, of the Police War Reserve.
Murray, in evidence, said that he has been licensee of the tavern since May last, and was previously employed as a dock labourer. Young was a motor driver and paid for his board and lodgings.
DID NOT KNOW
"He had no authority," declared Murray, "to sell beer either in or out of hours. He was in no sense my servant or agent. When I was called down by Young to see the police I had no idea the beer had been sold.
Young said that he had been "sitting up" when he heard a knock at the door. He answered it and found the two women defendants there. They asked for some beer, but he refused, telling them that if Mr. Murray got to know he would "kick him out". The two women said they wanted the beer for two soldiers who were going on active service.
"Then I foolishly put a light on in the bar," added Young. "I had no authority whatever to supply the beer to these women."
Mr. H. Fazackerley, who defended, said while it was a proper case for the police to bring to the court, as the law stood, the summons should be dismissed.
